Team mission
As a Senior Accountant, you will own key reconciliation and reporting processes and ensure high-quality financial data across systems—from transaction-level detail through to month-end deliverables. Partnering closely with different Accounting teams, FP&A, and Finance IT, you’ll help keep our financial engine running reliably by solving root causes, improving processes, and strengthening documentation and controls.
Your mission
- Own and drive complex reconciliations across multiple systems and data sources, investigating variances and resolving breaks end-to-end.
- Manage large volumes of financial data, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and strong auditability.
- Perform detailed account analysis and prepare clear documentation that supports month-end close, internal controls, and external audit requirements.
- Partner closely with FP&A, Accounting and our Finance IT Teams to ensure accurate financial outcomes, smooth processes, and strong cross-functional alignment.
- Deep-dive into system and ledger details (SAP S/4 Hana and other reporting tools) to identify root causes, improve data integrity, and streamline workflows.
- Contribute to month-end and year-end close activities, including preparing and reviewing journal entries, balance sheet substantiation, and roll-forwards where
- relevant.
- Identify and implement process improvements, automation opportunities, and control enhancements to increase efficiency and reduce risk.
- Support ad-hoc analyses and projects that require strong accounting judgment, structured problem solving, and clear communication.
Your toolkit
- 5+ years of relevant accounting experience (e.g., in-house accounting, audit, advisory, or a mix), with a track record of owning complex topics independently.
- Strong accounting fundamentals and the ability to apply them to real-world, high-volume environments.
- Demonstrated experience with complex reconciliations, data investigation, and working across multiple systems to trace transactions end-to-end.
- Highly analytical and detail-oriented, comfortable working with large datasets (Excel/Google Sheets at an advanced level; experience with ERP and reporting tools is a strong plus).
- A proactive, structured communicator who collaborates effectively with stakeholders across Finance and can explain technical topics clearly.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, scaling environment; you balance precision with pragmatism and continuously look for ways to improve processes.
- Fluency in English (German is a plus).
Extras that give you an edge
- Experience in SAP S/4 Hana or similar ERPs.
- Experience with process automation (e.g., advanced Excel, SQL, BI tools, or similar).
- Prior experience in an international, multi-entity environment.
- Professional certification (e.g., CPA/ACCA) is a plus.
