About You
You're a hands-on accountant who takes ownership. You're comfortable running the full bookkeeping cycle independently, not just executing tasks handed to you — from bank reconciliations to intercompany entries to preparing data for auditors. You know German GAAP (HGB) and GoBD requirements inside out, and you're excited (not intimidated) by the idea of helping migrate our accounting from DATEV to NetSuite. You're fluent in German and English, detail-oriented, comfortable with deadlines, and you like being the person who keeps the numbers clean and close on schedule. If you want real ownership over the accounting function for a growing international entity — this role is for you.
