Permanent employee, Full-time · Berlin, (Remote) Germany, Vilnius

Your mission

As our Senior Accountant (m/f/d), you will be a cornerstone of our accounting function. You will take ownership of our German entity accounting and be a key player in shaping the financial framework for our new international operations. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, this is a career-defining opportunity to grow into the team's technical expert, developing your skills in international accounting (IFRS), group consolidation, and FinTech operations as we scale. This is more than a bookkeeping role; it's a chance to own, refine, and automate our financial backbone, with a clear path for professional growth.

In this role, you will:

Own Core Accounting: Manage the end-to-end accounting processes for our German entities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and fixed assets, ensuring full compliance with HGB.
Master the Group Financial Close: Drive and execute the monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes for all group entities. You will be responsible for delivering accurate, consolidated financials on schedule.
Develop International Expertise: Partner with the finance team to establish the accounting foundations for our new entities in the Cayman Islands and Lithuania, learning and managing the transition to multi-entity group consolidation under both HGB and IFRS.
Ensure Compliance: Prepare statutory financial statements and act as a key contact for our external auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory bodies.
Champion Automation: Actively identify opportunities to improve efficiency. You will research, recommend, and implement modern accounting tools to help build a scalable finance tech stack.
Be a Proactive Partner: Serve as a go-to person for accounting-related inquiries. You will practice clear and proactive communication with the finance team and other departments to ensure seamless operations.

What you need to be successful:

Strong Foundation: Approximately 4-6 years of hands-on accounting experience. You are bilanzsicher (confident in your work) in HGB.
Growth Mindset & International Interest: Experience with or a strong, demonstrated interest in IFRS and international accounting is key. We are looking for someone eager to learn and tackle new challenges. A professional qualification (e.g., Bilanzbuchhalter) is a welcome bonus but not a prerequisite.
Language Skills: Full business proficiency in both German and English is essential for this role.
Tech-Forward Mindset: Experience with DATEV is a plus, but proficiency with any modern accounting software is great. You are curious about new tools and passionate about using technology to automate tasks.
Incredible Reliability: You have a deep sense of ownership and personal responsibility. Your colleagues can count on you to deliver high-quality work on time, every time.
Crystal-Clear Communication: You are an excellent communicator, capable of explaining complex topics simply. In our distributed team, you are proactive in sharing updates and flagging potential issues.
Independent Drive: You are intrinsically motivated and highly organized. You thrive in an autonomous environment where you can manage your own priorities and projects without needing constant supervision.

What’s in it for you:

A competitive salary and benefits package.
A clear growth path and an opportunity to have a significant impact on a fast-growing, well-funded FinTech.
Direct mentorship from the VP of Finance to support your development into a senior finance expert.
Direct collaboration with senior leadership and a high degree of autonomy and trust.
A budget for professional development, learning, and conferences to help you grow with the company.
A modern, remote-friendly work environment with a distributed team of passionate and talented colleagues.
