Shared services center delivering finance, HR, and IT support across Central Europe
KOSTAL Global Business Services Center operates a multi-country shared services hub from Budapest with satellite operations in Bulgaria and Ukraine. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP suite, Workday, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management), reflecting a mature finance and HR services operation. Active hiring across finance, data, sales, and support roles at mid-level and senior positions signals execution of a transition: multiple projects center on migrating accounting processes from other European entities into Hungary and building business service processes from scratch — a classic consolidation play designed to centralize operations and standardize workflows.
KOSTAL Global Business Services Center is the shared services arm of the KOSTAL Group, headquartered in Budapest with additional offices in Bulgaria and Ukraine. The organization provides finance, accounting, HR, IT support, and data services to parent-company operations across Europe. Their current work prioritizes consolidating accounting workflows into Hungary, establishing standardized business service processes, and managing the technical debt from inherited ticket backlogs. The team spans finance, HR technology, IT operations, and analytics functions, supported by a conventional enterprise stack (SAP, Workday, ServiceNow).
