About the Role
Own the revenue & AR engine of a scaling energy-tech company, where clean accounting directly enables growth, trust, and Series-B-readiness. As our Revenue Accountant, you will own the processes that turn complexity into clean, auditable numbers. You'll work closely with our Tech and Data team on 15-minute interval energy data, hundreds of contract variants, and data flowing from CRM, energy warehouse, and finance tooling into a single revenue truth. A lot of what you'll need doesn't exist yet, you'll help build it from the ground up. This is a role for someone who wants real ownership in a small, fast-growing team, and who is looking for a company they can grow with as we scale toward Series B and beyond.
Responsibilities
- Apply and maintain revenue recognition policies (HGB today, IFRS 15 on the horizon) across trawa's customer and contract types
- Translate commercial terms (variable pricing, multi-element arrangements, energy-specific structures) into the right accounting treatment
- Own and reconcile deferred revenue and energy accrual schedules
- Co-own a defined scope of the invoicing process end-to-end, from creation through reconciliation
- Drive AR reconciliations and aging; own dunning and collections
- Own revenue-related close activities: journal entries, account reconciliations, variance commentary
- Maintain audit-ready workpapers and documentation for all revenue and AR positions
- Proactively flag policy gaps and propose fixes, before the auditor does
- Contribute to our Billing Tool Rollout and ERP selection as the revenue voice
- Help replace manual workflows with automations, you don't just flag inefficiencies, you fix them
Requirements
- 3-5 years in accounting, with meaningful exposure to complex revenue accounting, AR, or billing, ideally in a B2B SaaS, energy, or tech-enabled business
- Solid accounting fundamentals with hands-on experience in IFRS 15 or HGB revenue recognition in a contract-heavy environment, comfortable with deferred revenue and month-end close
- Ownership mindset: you don't wait to be told what's broken, you find it, fix it, and document it
- Analytical and data-curious: comfortable with large datasets, spotting anomalies, forming a hypothesis and testing it against the data before escalating
- Structured and detail-oriented: your reconciliations are clean, your documentation holds up under audit scrutiny
- Proficient in Excel / Google Sheets
- Business fluent in German and English

About the Company
- trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. Our business sits at the intersection of energy flows, complex B2B contracts, and fast-moving markets, which makes our revenue anything but standard: energy products, variable pricing, and multiple billing cadences, each with its own recognition logic and data source.
- Our Finance team combines strategic finance, accounting excellence, and operational rigor to support trawa’s growth. The team is responsible for the full spectrum of finance activities - from budgeting, forecasting, and cash management to accounting operations, invoicing, reconciliations, and process improvement.
- At its core, the team ensures that trawa’s financial foundations are accurate, scalable, and business-oriented. It works closely with leadership on strategic finance topics while also managing day-to-day processes such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, month-end close, billing, dunning, and employee reimbursements.
- The team is structured to balance ownership of key finance functions with strong operational support. This creates an environment where strategic thinking and hands-on execution go hand in hand, enabling efficient financial operations and continuous improvement as the company scales.
Equal Opportunity
- Everyone is welcome here. We are committed to building an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and physical or neurodiverse backgrounds to apply.
