WerkümmertsichumFragenzurRechnung?
Wer (interrogative pronoun)
Used to ask about a person; it functions as the subject of the sentence.
kümmern sich um (reflexive verb)
The verb 'kümmern' requires the reflexive pronoun 'sich' and the preposition 'um' to mean 'to take care of' or 'to look after'.
um + Accusative
The preposition 'um' governs the accusative case; here it introduces the object of concern (Fragen).
zur = zu + der (dative)
The contraction 'zur' combines the preposition 'zu' with the dative feminine article 'der', forming 'to the' in English.
Verb‑second (V2) word order
In main clauses the finite verb occupies the second position; after the fronted interrogative 'Wer' the verb 'kümmert' follows.

Wer kümmert um Fragen zur Rechnung?
The reflexive pronoun 'sich' is required with 'kümmern' to form the correct construction.
Wer kümmert sich um Fragen zu die Rechnung?
If you use a different preposition, the case changes; 'zu' requires dative, so 'zur' (zu + der) is correct.
Wer kümmert sich um Fragen zur die Rechnung?
Do not use the accusative 'die Rechnung' after 'zu'; the phrase must stay dative.

Cultural Tip
In German business communication, using the reflexive construction 'sich um ... kümmern' sounds polite and professional. If you want a more formal tone, you can replace it with 'verantwortlich für' (responsible for) or 'betreuen' (to look after). Remember to keep the 'Sie' form when speaking to customers you do not know personally.
