What you'll do

  • Own the books (general and sub-ledgers) and gradually bring bookkeeping in-house from our external provider
  • Run accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the payment process
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly closes under HGB and support the annual financial statements, including our first-ever statutory audit
  • Help shape our finance systems and decide the target setup — whether Odoo replaces DATEV or runs first as a subledger alongside it
  • Be the day-to-day counterpart to our tax advisors and auditors
  • Build our finance processes and first automations hand in hand with our Director Accounting, including group-wide topics around our US and CH entities

What we're looking for

  • Solid HGB fundamentals and hands-on DATEV (or comparable) experience
  • Experience with monthly and annual closes
  • A hands-on, builder mindset — you like building from scratch and don't wait for finished processes or a team
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and fast change and structure things yourself — pragmatic over perfectionist, but with a clear sense of when rigor matters (closing, audit)
  • Tool- and automation-savvy; you use modern tools and AI as a matter of course
  • Fluent German and good English

Nice to have

  • A degree (business, finance, or a related field) is preferred
  • IFRS knowledge is a plus
  • Odoo or ERP experience is a plus
