📋 Description

• Responsible for ongoing accounting (accounts payable, accounts receivable, entries, reconciliations, bank transactions). • Support monthly routines and ensure clean, timely processes (entries, reconciliations, basic reporting). • Assist with monthly, quarterly and annual financial closings. • Coordinate with our tax advisors in Germany and Switzerland (prepare documents, handle queries, ensure compliance). • Maintain, structure and further develop our financial data in DATEV, Bexio and Qonto. • Monitor key financial metrics such as average prices, margins and cost trends. • Support profitability analyses, product cost calculations and ad-hoc financial analyses. • Participate in forecasting and budgeting processes: prepare data, check plausibility and identify variances. • Actively contribute to optimizing our accounting and finance processes as we grow.

🎯 Requirements

• Degree in finance, economics or accounting, or a commercial apprenticeship with a solid understanding of accounting and financial processes. • At least 2–3 years of professional experience in accounting, bookkeeping or a finance-related role. • Confident with numbers and a good understanding of accounting and financial principles. • Structured, precise and responsible working style — you spot discrepancies and follow them up proactively. • Interest in taking on basic controlling tasks, profitability analyses and forecast support in addition to bookkeeping. • Very good German and good English skills. • Bonus: Experience with DATEV, Bexio, Qonto or experience in an e-commerce/startup environment.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible workload: 50–100%, depending on your profile — with slightly higher capacity around month-end closings and quieter periods during the rest of the month. • Remote-first: work from anywhere in Germany. • Clear routines and predictable deadlines — ideal for balancing work with family or personal projects. • A healthy, profitably growing, founder-led startup without artificial investor pressure. • A supportive, collegial team that values ownership, reliability and flexibility. • The opportunity to actively shape our finance and accounting processes and take on responsibility.
