WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

 

  • Own the month-end and year-end close for your area: deliver accurate, timely financials under HGB and IFRS and run a reliable daily accounting operation
  • Own core operational processes end to end: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations, including high-volume bank, clearing and customer-related accounts
  • Drive the accounting side of new product and market launches. Work with Product, Engineering, Tax and Regulatory Reporting to define the accounting treatment, GL and chart-of-accounts mapping, posting logic and controls before go-live
  • Analyse the balance sheet and P&L, investigate variances and post or propose adjustments
  • Strengthen the control environment (4-eye principle, documentation, reconciliation standards) and automate manual work with our data and engineering teams
  • Act as main contact for external auditors on your areas, and for other Finance teams such as FP&A, Tax, Controlling and Regulatory Reporting

 

 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 8+ years of hands-on operational accounting experience (GL, AP/AR, reconciliations, month-end close), ideally partly in Big 4 audit.
  • Experience in a bank, broker, neobank, payments company or fast-growing fintech. Experience with high-volume transactional data is a strong advantage
  • A track record of bringing new products, entities or processes into the accounting books (accounting assessment, system setup, controls)
  • Solid knowledge of HGB and IFRS. Knowledge of RechKredV (German accounting rules for banks) is a plus
  • Strong ERP experience. SAP S/4HANA is a big advantage. Comfortable with large datasets in Excel; SQL or BI tools are a plus
  • Accounting qualification (e.g. ACCA, CPA, Bilanzbuchhalter, StB/WP) preferred
  • Fluent English. German is a plus
  • Hands-on, structured and detail-oriented. You question manual processes and keep your team supported and focused
