What you'll do

  • Act as key user for finance/accounting in the ERP project: track progress, test functionality, contribute and take on sub-projects.
  • Contribute to monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements under HGB for two companies: closing entries, account reconciliations, provisions, fixed asset accounting, data exchange with tax advisors and auditors.
  • Provide operational support to financial accounting, VAT advance returns and day-to-day tax questions.
  • Support commercial management on business topics: analyses, evaluations, documents for the board and banks, contract and financing questions.
  • In the ERP introduction: help formulate finance requirements, document processes, reconcile master data, run tests.
  • Learn and help shape precious metals industry specifics: metal accounts, reverse charge, metal balance, inventory valuation.
  • Further develop and automate accounting processes, working hands-on from document to closing entry, with prospects of own areas of responsibility and technical coordination in the team.

What we're looking for

  • Degree in business administration with a focus on accounting, or qualification as Bilanzbuchhalter (IHK), Steuerfachwirt or comparable.
  • Several years of professional experience in accounting at a mid-sized company or tax office, including work on annual financial statements under HGB.
  • Ability to see commercial interconnections beyond individual bookings and prepare topics for decisions.
  • Pragmatic hands-on mentality: operational involvement, practical solutions rather than perfect concepts, seeing topics through to the end.
  • Structured, independent way of working, clear prioritization and open communication in the team.
  • Very good Excel skills.
  • Sensitivity in handling confidential information.

Nice to have

  • Experience with a system change or ERP introduction is a plus.
  • Odoo knowledge is also a plus, but neither is a prerequisite.
