Financial Accountant (all genders)

We are looking for a Financial Accountant (all genders) with a strong generalist background in accounting and solid experience in month-end and year-end closing processes to join our growing finance team. This role is ideal for candidates who enjoy working across the full spectrum of accounting tasks — from G/L activities and closing procedures to supporting Accounts Payable when needed.
You should have experience contributing to the preparation of financial statements under HGB (and ideally IFRS). The ability to independently prepare financial statements is a strong plus, though not a strict requirement. We are particularly interested in candidates who feel confident in core accounting processes and are motivated to further strengthen their expertise across all areas, including occasional hands-on AP tasks.
Given our lean structure, this position goes far beyond a single-focus role. You will actively contribute to closing activities, reporting, and the continuous improvement of accounting processes and systems. This makes the role especially attractive for candidates who enjoy taking ownership, value variety in their day-to-day work, and are eager to grow within a dynamic and collaborative environment.

Manage a broad range of operational and closing-related accounting activities, including occasional support in Accounts Payable to ensure smooth end-to-end processing
Timely preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with HGB and IFRS
Maintain, reconcile, and analyze general ledger and sub-ledger accounts, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and proper documentation
Handle key accounting topics such as provisions, accruals, and other closing-related entries, ensuring compliance with internal and external requirements
Perform balance sheet and P&L analyses, prepare meaningful comments, and contribute to high-quality financial reporting
Drive continuous improvement of accounting processes, contribute to the enhancement of internal controls, and support automation initiatives
Participate in cross-functional process and system optimization projects, including SAP-related improvements
Collaborate closely with Treasury, Controlling, and other internal stakeholders on reporting and finance-related matters
Support the preparation of consolidated financial statements and contribute to group reporting activities
Act as a reliable point of contact for auditors, tax advisors, and internal stakeholders during audits and financial reviews

Degree in Business Administration or completed commercial training with a relevant further qualification
Several years of experience in financial accounting with a strong general ledger focus and solid involvement in monthly and annual closing activities; openness to supporting AP tasks as part of a well-rounded accounting role
Certification as Financial Accountant (IHK) or Bilanzbuchhalter (IHK) is an advantage; alternatively, a clear intention to work toward such a qualification in the near future is equally welcome
Experience in supporting or preparing financial statements under HGB and ideally IFRS
Solid understanding of accounting principles, including provisions, accruals, and basic tax-related topics
Confident user of SAP, ideally S/4HANA
Structured, analytical mindset combined with a hands-on, reliable, and solution-oriented working style
Interest in working in a dynamic environment with flat hierarchies and a high degree of ownership
Good English skills, both written and spoken; German skills are a strong advantage

Permanent employment in an international company that is continuously expanding
Mobile office regulation of 40% per week
30 days of vacation, extended with possible unpaid vacation days; afternoon off on your own birthday
Open doors and room for your own ideas in a friendly, modern working environment
Further education and training opportunities
Company bicycle leasing (business bike) and company fitness (EGYM Wellpass)
Central office location with direct access to public transportation
Extraordinary company celebrations, team events and sporting events
Other employee benefits: capital-forming benefits, subsidized company pension plan, bonus for employees who recruit employees
