WHO YOU ARE

• Precise and fast. You care about getting it right and getting it done
• Analytical and confident in Excel or Google Sheets for reconciliations
• Fluent in English

Nice-to-haves

• German is a strong plus (B1 or better): most of our vendor invoices and much of our supplier communication are in German
• Experience in a fast-growing company (start-up or scale-up), or at a tax firm serving start-up clients
• Hands-on with DATEV Rechnungswesen and DATEV Unternehmen online (DUO)
• Training as Steuerfachangestellte/r or Kaufmann/-frau
• Experience with Moss or similar spend management tools
• Automation experience or strong tech curiosity: you've built workflows with n8n, Zapier, or Make, or used Claude Code or similar AI tools

YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS

Month 1: Learn

• Understand our business model, our accounting setup, and our tools (Moss, DATEV). Take over your first recurring bookings.

Month 2: Own

• Run accounts payable and bank postings independently. Support your first month-end close.

Month 3: Improve

• Deliver your areas on time each month. Propose and ship your first automation or process improvement.

THE TEAM

You'll join a fast-growing Finance team of around ten people across Accounting, Billing, Collections, FP&A, Treasury, and Strategic Finance. You'll work closely with colleagues across these areas and see how your bookings flow into cash and planning. You'll also work cross-functionally with Business Operations, Energy, and other departments.
