About the Role
You will take professional responsibility for our operational accounting, from ongoing bookkeeping to month-end closing according to HGB. Simultaneously, you will actively contribute to building: insourcing of accounting, NetSuite implementation (~2027), and process design. You will not manage, but shape.
Responsibilities
- Professional responsibility for accounting preparation and month-end closings – accurate, timely, and ready for closing.
- Phased insourcing of the currently externally managed accounting.
- Significant contribution to the NetSuite implementation: process design, data migration, system logic.
- Reporting to management and our parent company (SAMY Group).
- Professional support and further development of the Accounting team.
Requirements
- Several years of in-depth accounting experience – both hands-on in daily operations and in building and further developing robust processes.
- Proficient in closing according to HGB (preparation or readiness for tax advisor).
- Solid professional foundation: a completed degree in business administration with a focus on accounting, or an equivalent qualification with extensive professional experience.
- Understanding the logic and interrelationships behind the numbers (P&L, balance sheet, double-entry bookkeeping), not just executing individual entries.
- Very good IT skills: proficient in Excel/Google Sheets, ideally SQL user skills, and essential experience with ERP systems (ideally NetSuite), in process setup and operational application.
- Confident stakeholder management: ability to prioritize many parallel requirements and handle tight deadlines without compromising quality.
- Fluent German and English (company language is English).
- Confident, realistic handling of AI tools: understanding their capabilities, limitations, and efficient application.
- Experience in an agency, scale-up, or medium-sized service provider is a plus.
- Ability to independently structure dynamic and fast-paced situations.
- Ability to lead professionally without being a supervisor (convince rather than order).
- High tolerance for hands-on work.
- Honest about personal knowledge gaps.
- Independent, structured, reliable, and results-oriented work in a remote setup.
