Accounts Receivable Accountant

Collections and Dunning

• Own the collections cadence end-to-end: monitor AR aging, prioritise the highest-impact accounts, and drive them to resolution via email and phone.
• Reduce DSO measurably. You set the pace, we give you the tools and the mandate.
• Manage our dunning process reliably and with the right tone: firm on cash, respectful of the customer relationshipDebitorenbuchhaltung und operative Prozesse.

Reconciliation and Cash Application

• Reconcile incoming payments against open invoices, investigate and resolve unapplied cash, short-pays, and discrepancies.
• Run structured reconciliations reliably, and independently drive ad-hoc analyses for complex payments or edge cases.
• Support month-end close with AR reconciliations and clean aging reports.

Ticket Ownership and Customer Interaction

• Take ownership of our AR ticket queue, which is currently high-volume and one of the most visible pain points across the company. You get on top of it, categorise what's coming in, and resolve the majority of tickets directly.
• Be the go-to Finance contact for customers on all relevant topics: invoicing, payments, and account requests.
• Work closely with Customer Success and BizOps to resolve customer issues end-to-end and make sure Finance topics don't get stuck between teams.

Who You Are

Must-haves

• 3+ years of experience in Accounts Receivable, Collections, or Credit Control, or a comparable Finance role. Ideally in a high-volume and complex B2B environment
• Solid understanding of AR processes: dunning, cash application, reconciliations, and month-end AR work.
• Confident with customers in writing and on the phone. You can be firm on cash without damaging the relationship.
• Strong ownership mindset. You don't wait for someone to flag a problem. You spot it, dig into the root cause, and drive it to resolution across stakeholders.
• Structured, analytical, and detail-oriented. You keep complex open items straight without losing the bigger picture.
• Business fluent in English and solid written German (customer correspondence in German needs to work reliably). Spoken German is a strong plus but not required.
• Comfortable in the standard office and analytics toolset (Excel or Google Sheets) and able to navigate independently.

Nice-to-haves

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a comparable field, or a solid vocational qualification (e.g. Bilanzbuchhalter:in IHK, Steuerfachangestellte:r, kaufmännische Ausbildung). We care about what you can do, not the badge on your CV.
• Experience with AI-powered reconciliation tools or modern ticketing systems.
• Genuine curiosity for AI and automation. Bonus if you've already used Langdock, Claude, or similar tools to speed up your own work.
• Experience in a fast-growing start-up or scale-up environment.

Your First 90 Days

Month 1: Understand

• Understand trawa's business model, customer base, and billing logic, including what makes energy billing genuinely complex
• Map our AR process end-to-end (invoicing, collections, cash application, close) and get to know your key counterparts in Customer Success, BizOps, and Accounting
• Take over recurring work: ticket triage, aging analysis, dunning follow-ups

Month 2: Take Ownership

• Run the AR cycle largely independently: aging monitored proactively, customer follow-ups sent on time, accounts reconciled cleanly
• Contribute to your first month-end close reliably and on time
• Identify one concrete process gap in collections, reconciliation, or ticket handling, and come with a plan to fix it

Month 3: Build and Improve

• DSO is trending in the right direction and month-end contributions are delivered without follow-up
• You've shipped at least one meaningful process improvement and can point to its impact
• You're actively shaping how our AR processes scale as trawa's customer base grows
