Enhancing Financial and Administrative Efficiency: A Partnership with Cafe Finance
As the company expanded its client base in the telecommunications, hotel and catering, and apartment rental sectors, the necessity for streamlined accounting and administrative processes became evident. To address this, the company partnered with the External Accounting Services Center (AOC) to optimize these functions and enhance financial control.
