Journey of an SAP S/4HANA consultant in umbrella employment
From SASU to umbrella employment with Kaiporting
Hello, my name is Thierry and I have been an SAP Finance (FI/CO) consultant for 17 years. After ten years at consulting firms, I set up my own SASU to freelance on ECC to S/4HANA migrations. For seven years my company gave me real freedom, but also plenty of constraints.
The challenges I faced:
- A heavy admin load: Bookkeeping, VAT, legal matters, chasing invoices… the equivalent of one to two days a month.
- Ongoing fixed costs: Accountant, bank and insurance, even between assignments.
- Limited social protection: As a SASU president, no unemployment insurance if an assignment gap lasted.
- Retirement to plan for: Paying myself mainly in dividends meant I contributed little to my pension.
Approaching fifty, I wanted to keep my independence while securing my future. A former colleague then told me about umbrella employment with Kaiporting.
Typical journey inspired by situations supported by Kaiporting – name changed.
Why I chose Kaiporting to continue as an SAP consultant in umbrella employment
I compared my SASU situation with a Kaiporting simulation, then switched when a new S/4HANA migration started for an industrial group. Here’s what changed for me:
- Zero admin:
Kaiporting handles invoicing, payment follow-up and payroll. I spend my time on clients and keeping up with SAP. - No more fixed costs:
No accountant, no company overheads: I only pay 4% management fees on my turnover. - Real social protection:
I contribute to unemployment insurance and pension like an executive employee, with health and disability cover. - The same autonomy:
I find my assignments, negotiate my daily rate and stay in control of my schedule.
What Kaiporting brings me day to day
Since joining Kaiporting, I’ve regained time and peace of mind, both professionally and personally:
My time goes to my job
No more evenings spent on bookkeeping: I focus on my SAP projects.
I’ve kept my independence
I choose my clients, negotiate my contracts and manage my schedule.
Peace of mind
My salary is paid on a fixed date every month, and I’m covered between assignments.
A better-prepared future
I contribute fully to my pension without running a company myself.
