Job description

Finance & Legal · Vienna · FullTime · Entry level

This role covers the everyday accounting work of a growing company: bookkeeping, payables and receivables, bank reconciliations, and support for the monthly close. A strong candidate brings one to three years of hands on accounting experience or a solid finance degree with internships, knows double entry bookkeeping and Austrian GAAP basics, and is working toward a qualification like Bilanzbuchhalter or ACCA. Accuracy, organization, and comfort owning recurring deadlines matter more than flash.

How it fits the AI era

The core of the job, getting the numbers right and closing the books on time, stays human and still needs judgment. What changes is the volume and speed: a company growing this fast across many markets and entities needs someone who can spot repetitive work and push to automate it. AI tools can help with reconciliation and data matching, but the accountant still owns the checks and the filings.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means helping move accounting in house and documenting processes while the company scales, which builds experience in automating repetitive finance work. The billing side involves reconciling Stripe and usage based revenue, a practical way to learn how AI driven subscription and usage models are accounted for. Building familiarity with tools like Xero, Stripe, and spreadsheet automation would prepare someone well for this team.

Worth showing

• Austrian GAAP basics
• VAT and month end close
• Excel or Google Sheets
