Senior Accountant (m/f/d)

As our Senior Accountant (m/f/d), you will be a cornerstone of our accounting function. You will take ownership of our German entity accounting and be a key player in shaping the financial framework for our new international operations. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, this is a career-defining opportunity to grow into the team's technical expert, developing your skills in international accounting (IFRS), group consolidation, and FinTech operations as we scale. This is more than a bookkeeping role; it's a chance to own, refine, and automate our financial backbone, with a clear path for professional growth.

• Own Core Accounting: Manage the end-to-end accounting processes for our German entities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and fixed assets, ensuring full compliance with HGB.

• Master the Group Financial Close: Drive and execute the monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes for all group entities. You will be responsible for delivering accurate, consolidated financials on schedule.

• Develop International Expertise: Partner with the finance team to establish the accounting foundations for our new entities in the Cayman Islands and Lithuania, learning and managing the transition to multi-entity group consolidation under both HGB and IFRS.

• Ensure Compliance: Prepare statutory financial statements and act as a key contact for our external auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory bodies.

• Champion Automation: Actively identify opportunities to improve efficiency. You will research, recommend, and implement modern accounting tools to help build a scalable finance tech stack.

• Be a Proactive Partner: Serve as a go-to person for accounting-related inquiries. You will practice clear and proactive communication with the finance team and other departments to ensure seamless operations.

• Strong Foundation: Approximately 4-6 years of hands-on accounting experience. You are bilanzsicher (confident in your work) in HGB.

• Growth Mindset & International Interest: Experience with or a strong, demonstrated interest in IFRS and international accounting is key. We are looking for someone eager to learn and tackle new challenges. A professional qualification (e.g., Bilanzbuchhalter) is a welcome bonus but not a prerequisite.

• Language Skills: Full business proficiency in both German and English is essential for this role.

• Tech-Forward Mindset: Experience with DATEV is a plus, but proficiency with any modern accounting software is great. You are curious about new tools and passionate about using technology to automate tasks.

• Incredible Reliability: You have a deep sense of ownership and personal responsibility. Your colleagues can count on you to deliver high-quality work on time, every time.

• Crystal-Clear Communication: You are an excellent communicator, capable of explaining complex topics simply. In our distributed team, you are proactive in sharing updates and flagging potential issues.

• Independent Drive: You are intrinsically motivated and highly organized. You thrive in an autonomous environment where you can manage your own priorities and projects without needing constant supervision.

• A competitive salary and benefits package.

• A clear growth path and an opportunity to have a significant impact on a fast-growing, well-funded FinTech.

• Direct mentorship from the VP of Finance to support your development into a senior finance expert.

• Direct collaboration with senior leadership and a high degree of autonomy and trust.

• A budget for professional development, learning, and conferences to help you grow with the company.
