Your mission as a Senior Accountant (m/f/d)

What you'll be doing

• Maintain Appinio GmbH financial ledgers, constantly finding new and more efficient processes to prepare them earlier and with less manual work
• Prepare and own the consolidated financial statements (in Lucanet)
• Perform month-end and year-end close processes together with external tax advisors
• Own the GmbH audit process, currently in close collaboration with PwC
• Ensure accounts payable and receivable are reconciled (supported by NetSuite and Payhawk)
• Challenge the way ledgers are being prepared and what processes really add value, with the overarching objective being a truly digital, scalable accounting function
• Work together with external advisors to ensure we are compliant on topics such as transfer pricing

You will thrive in this role if

• You have minimum 5 years of work experience as a Financial Accountant or a similar role - ideally in a start-up or other fast-paced environment

• You are very comfortable with German tax and accounting standards, knowledge in IFRS is a plus
• You have proven experience in Datev and MS Excel
• You have an in-depth understanding of business accounting procedures
• You have a positive and helpful attitude, as well as a pragmatic approach
