Next-Gen Accountant

Job description

Do you want to use your passion and talent to make consumption more sustainable?

We’re Europe’s fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, empowering customers to acquire items up to 40% cheaper while making a substantial impact on reducing CO2 emissions compared to buying new devices.

Since our launch in February 2017, we grew to more than 300 employees and expanded across the European region. Throughout this journey, we’ve successfully concluded three substantial funding rounds, selling hundreds of thousands of products. Thanks to our team’s efforts, we were recognized as the Top Employer in the DACH region (2025, 2024 and 2023) by Kununu and secured the title of an ACM Preferred Employer (2023).

For our Finance team, we are looking for a hungry and outstanding professional Accountant (f/m/x) where your financial expertise meets modern tools like Python, Power Queries, and automation. This is your chance to go beyond routine tasks and help shape how finance supports innovation and scale. This role reports directly to the Head of Accounting & Controlling and will give you a unique opportunity.

Together with you and your talent we want to make consumption sustainable and build the leading marketplace for refurbished products in Europe. Join us on our mission! #TalentForFuture

WHO YOU ARE

  • You have a degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration from a university or similar
  • You bring 2–4 years of professional experience in accounting, audit (UGB, potentially IFRS) — ideally in a fast-moving company or accounting advisory environment
  • You are motivated to learn and grow, with a proactive mindset and willingness to take on new challenges
  • You are a creative problem solver with strong analytical skills
  • You’ve started to optimize recurring tasks through implementing automation, and are curious to deepen your knowledge in Power Queries, Python and ideally BMD
  • You have an eye for detail, are structured in your work, and strive for accuracy and data integrity
  • You are a team player with a hands-on mentality and want to work in an environment where your ideas can shape future processes
  • You have a can-do mentality and do not use the term “That doesn’t work”
  • You are fluent in English and ideally speak German (or are open to improving it)
  • You are excited by the idea of combining finance with automation and digital tools, and want to contribute to a company with a positive mission

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • You support the day-to-day accounting operations for multiple Refurbed Group entities
  • You support and shape the automation and improvement of manual tasks (e.g., reporting, reconciliations) using Phyton and Power Queries — and are encouraged to explore scripting and BI tools further
  • You contribute in implementing new tools and systems (such as BMD modules, invoice processing tools, etc)
  • You help prepare monthly and annual financial statements, assisting with UGB-compliant documentation
  • You contribute to reconciling accounts, preparing reports, and ensuring the accuracy of financial data
  • You contribute to internal process documentation and SOPs, ensuring finance operations are clear and scalable
  • You work cross-functionally with colleagues from other teams (e.g., Operations, Seller, Marketing, People, others) to ensure smooth financial workflows
  • You take part in audit preparations, learn about internal control systems, and progressively take on more responsibility as you grow

Additional factors we appreciate

  • You leverage Power Queries, Python, BMD and Excel to automate reporting, clean and transform data, and improve the quality and speed of decision-making for senior management
  • Experience building interfaces that connect big data platforms to accounting systems, particularly for reconciliations is a major plus
  • You are experienced in e-commerce or consumer goods, especially when it comes to handling complex transaction flows
  • You may have worked in an e-commerce, SaaS, or fintech environment (internships included)
  • You want to build your career at the intersection of finance and technology — and work in a company that values innovation and sustainability

WHY YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH US:

Our Culture and Values:

  • Decisions should be made based on facts and not by hierarchy levels? We sure think so!
  • We embrace giving and receiving feedback, testing and welcoming new ideas, as well as sharing our knowledge across the company.
  • You fail sometimes? Well, so do we! We’re all just human, let’s learn from our mistakes to improve in the future!
  • No matter who you love, where you’re from, who you pray to, whether you pee sitting down or standing up – we are a bunch of talented people who enjoy spending our time making a difference!

Personal & Professional Development:

  • You’ll have access to a dedicated learning budget within your department to support your growth, whether it’s courses, conferences, or other learning opportunities that matter to you.
  • We partner with Likeminded, offering you private sessions with experts for your personal growth and mental health.
  • We frequently host internal workshops, allowing our teams to further develop their skills in different areas and enhancing collaboration across departments.

Flexibility:

  • We care about a healthy work/life balance. We not only function and support a fully remote setting but also offer the possibility to work from our beautiful office in the vibrant heart of Vienna – we love dogs, so feel free to bring your furry little buddy too 😊
  • We trust you to do the best job, so we don’t care so much when you do it – you are able to self-organize.
  • You will also be invited to take part in our office weeks, happening three times a year, where you will have the chance to work side by side with your colleagues and enjoy the team-building events and on-site workshops
