## Description

## Job Overview

As a Financial Accountant, you will be the backbone of our financial reporting, taking full responsibility for the trial balance, complex reconciliations, and monthly closing cycles. You will be a hands-on expert who ensures the integrity of our financial data, provides accurate accounting records, and guarantees compliance with all relevant accounting standards.

## Daily Tasks

- Manage and oversee month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing processes to ensure timely and accurate completion.

- Prepare and post complex general ledger entries, including subjective allocations, accrued revenues, prepayments, and intercompany transactions.

- Conduct and review critical account reconciliations and independently investigate and resolve discrepancies.

- Administer intercompany accounting, including transfer pricing adjustments, loan agreements, and multi-currency reconciliations.

- Support the preparation of consolidated financial statements and regulatory reports according to local accounting standards (HGB) and IFRS.

- Continuously evaluate and optimise general ledger processes, charts of accounts, and financial systems to increase efficiency and automation of manual tasks.

- Ensure strict adherence to internal controls, SOX compliance, and financial policies across the organisation.

## Requirements

- Qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) with at least 5-7 years of professional experience after qualification, and proven track record in a complex, multi-entity general ledger environment.

- Exceptionally organised, hands-on expert who can manage the entire accounting process independently with minimal supervision.

- In-depth understanding of accounting principles (HGB and IFRS) and statutory reporting requirements.

- Extensive experience with enterprise-wide ERP systems (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Workday) and advanced financial modelling in Excel.

- Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accurate and complete accounting records.

- Excellent time management skills and ability to prioritise tasks under pressure during tight deadlines.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with ERP migrations, system upgrades, or implementation of specialised modules (e.g., asset management, inventory tracking, or automated reconciliation tools).

- Familiarity with RPA tools (Robotic Process Automation) or basic scripting languages (like VBA or Python) for automating repetitive tasks.

- Experience in a multi-entity and multi-currency environment, and knowledge of foreign exchange accounting and intercompany transactions.

- Proven success in identifying inefficiencies in financial processes and implementing improvement initiatives.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options.

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation.

- Professional development: annual allowance of €500.

- Health and wellbeing: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health).

- Social benefits: regular company events and monthly social allowances.

- Extended parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers and 6 weeks for secondary caregivers.
