Your career
at Mauer

During my internship at Mauer Group, I was involved in practical projects from day one and was treated as a full-fledged team member from the very beginning. I worked in both the areas of auditing and governance, risk, and compliance. My responsibilities included conducting in-depth research on new laws, creating a risk management policy, and assisting with annual financial statements. This allowed me not only to deepen my professional knowledge but also to develop personally, especially in the areas of communication and independent work. The team was particularly supportive. All colleagues were very helpful, provided valuable insights, and answered all my questions. Following my three-week internship, I stayed on as a working student for several months. The time at Mauer Group was extremely valuable to me and was a lot of fun. I would like to sincerely thank you for the enriching experience and the exciting opportunity.

"During my internship, I undertook a variety of tasks and gained extensive insights into the world of management consulting and auditing. I actively participated in two main areas: firstly, the examination of financial statements. This activity allowed me to develop a deep understanding of finance and accounting. I learned how to analyze balance sheets and financial reports to draw well-founded conclusions. The second focus of my work was the establishment and implementation of an internal control system, particularly in the areas of Treasury and Accounting. This provided me with valuable insights into the importance of control and compliance in large organizations.

I found my engagement with sustainability issues particularly captivating. The increasing relevance of these topics for companies became increasingly clear to me during my internship. Exploring the evolution of these issues and the necessity for companies to confront these challenges left a lasting impression on me. I also had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the complex guidelines and regulations in the sustainability sector.

I particularly enjoyed working with the Mauer team. My colleagues were always helpful and supportive, significantly easing my onboarding and learning experience. I had the chance to work independently on projects and continuously enhance my skills. Visiting clients and gaining deep insights into their business processes was a valuable experience that not only imparted technical knowledge but also deepened my understanding of the practical application of my work.

Due to the positive experiences during my internship, I am now continuing my professional journey as a working student at Mauer-Gruppe."

“My work as a working student in the Audit department was a challenging and enriching time during which I learned and experienced a lot. I was part of a professional and supportive team that guided me through various audit tasks.

I had the opportunity to contribute to audits for clients in diverse industries and sizes. This allowed me not only to apply and deepen theoretical knowledge from my studies but also to acquire practical skills such as communication, organization, and problem-solving.

I always felt comfortable and appreciated, benefiting from the extensive knowledge and experience of my colleagues.”

”My two-week ‘speed internship’ at Mauer Unternehmensberatung GmbH was part of a work student activity. At the beginning I was able to get to know the team and was happy to be instructed very closely during the first tasks. This meant that I was quickly able to complete several tasks myself and was still welcome to ask questions if any problems occurred. 

The learning curve was even steeper during the internship. In the first week I worked together with colleagues on one due diligence and one audit project. In the following week I participated in three client meetings where I could follow the implementation of both projects up close and was able to provide support with my own input. 

On these projects I was particularly impressed by the healthy team harmony, which ensured a positive and motivating working climate and was not even diminished in stress situations. 

In summary I can certainly recommend that all students, particularly those in early semesters, undertake an internship at Mauer Unternehmensberatung GmbH! 

Particularly at the beginning of your degree it is a great advantage to have the opportunity of looking around in the large sectors of auditing, tax consultancy and management consultancy in a compact way. This allows you to try out in practice which area best suits your own interests and skills.“

”During my four-week internship at Mauer Unternehmensberatung GmbH I was able to gain practical experience in the sectors of auditing, tax consultancy and management consultancy and intensify my theoretical knowledge. 

The positive atmosphere in the team was a great advantage during the training, raised motivation levels and made sure that I felt comfortable. The colleagues always took sufficient time for training and with any questions, which I found very supportive. 

Personally I found the opportunity to take over my only auditing fields in a small annual report already in the second week of my internship very valuable and was highly motivated by this trust.”

”During my internship at Mauer Unternehmensberatung GmbH I was able to collect preliminary practical experience in the sectors of auditing and management consultancy and was able to clearly and sustainable expand may knowledge in these fields. 

In the area of management consultancy I was able to accompany the internal auditing of a large hospital with Mr. Mauer and work actively together with him. I was also able to significantly improve my knowledge of corporate governance through the research for presentations in the course of various lectures. 

As part of my internship I was permitted to work on some annual reports and audit some partial sectors myself. 

The very kind and helpful team at Mauer GmbH supported me at all times when I had questions on the tasks. I enjoyed my entire time at Mauer GmbH. The constructive and comprehensive feedback on my work helped me to greatly improve my skills during this time. 

I would like to say thank you for the pleasant and educations time at Mauer Unternehmensberatung. I had a lot of fun doing the work.”

”As part of a three-week internship I was able to accompany Mr. Mauer personally with a due diligence. I found it particularly exciting that I was allowed to carry out tasks both in the financial and tax due diligence on my own and also had the opportunity to attend meetings between buyers and sellers and to participate in the buyer’s strategic considerations and in the acquisition and integration phase. 

The internship gave me the opportunity to apply the theoretical aspects of my studies in a practical way. The time involved a steep learning curve and I was treated like a full member of the team at all times.“

”I greatly enjoyed the internship at your company. I could get an insight into many sectors and work in all the departments. I particularly liked that my opinion and my work were respected. I knew that the product of my work was important. 

I really liked having the opportunity to collect my first experience in the sector of management consultancy and felt supported in my decision to consider this sector in my career choices. 

Even if the literature research was hard work and sometimes tiring it now helps me in lectures as I am already familiar with some of the subject matter. So in the end it wasn’t so bad. 

All in all I would like to give positive feedback. The internship was hard work but I gained a lot of insight into the sectors of consulting and management consultancy. I felt welcome in the team and always had a contact person to support me with questions or problems. Many thanks and best regards also to Dr. Sauter. It was very pleasant to share an office with him and many a strenuous day was more relaxed because of the good conversations we had.”
