Accountant

Salary range: €65,000-85,000/annum

We’re looking for a Finance Manager who will own and run the in‑house accounting for our international entities end to end—bringing bookkeeping and VAT compliance into DATEV, delivering timely, accurate closes, and keeping clean, well‑documented ledgers. This is a unique chance to lead the accounting of a fast‑growing scale‑up with an already 9‑digit balance sheet and P&L. You’ll move fast to migrate from external providers, integrate and improve finance tools and workflows, and proactively fix root causes to enable reliable group reporting—working independently with periodic reviews and helping mentor junior teammates.

What You’ll Do

• Run end‑to‑end in‑house bookkeeping for the entities in DATEV Rechnungswesen (AR/AP, banks/cash, accruals/deferrals).

• Lead the migration of accounting data, configurations, and workflows from the external bookkeeper into a clean, well‑structured DATEV environment.

• Own data consolidation across entities: maintain intercompany billing and reconciliations, enforce consistent chart‑of‑accounts and documentation.

• Drive tool setup and integration: connect Yokoy and other feeder systems with DATEV, validate tax and account mappings, design standardized procure‑to‑pay and expense workflows with clear audit trails, and eliminate duplicate entry and recurring errors through root‑cause fixes and targeted automation.

• Own reporting and advisor coordination: deliver clear, timely financial data within agreed timelines, proactively flag risks and decisions to keep closings, filings, and audits on track, and manage the relationship with external tax advisors.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven ownership of German entity bookkeeping within DATEV Rechnungswesen for a GmbH or similar—covering AR/AP, bank reconciliations, accruals/deferrals—and preparation of accurate VAT returns under HGB and German VAT rules.

• Demonstrated success transitioning from an external bookkeeper to an in‑house setup, including data migration, chart‑of‑accounts/VAT code design, access management, SOP creation, and measurable improvements in close speed and data quality.

• Hands‑on experience integrating spend/expense tools with DATEV, building and validating tax/account mappings, implementing P2P and expense workflows with audit trails, and resolving issues to root cause.

• Strong intercompany and multi‑entity experience: issuing/booking intercompany invoices, performing monthly reconciliations, and producing audit‑ready schedules that support consolidation and group reporting.

• Bonus: Exposure to German payroll accounting processes and collaboration with tax advisors/auditors; comfort with DATEV Unternehmen online and light automation (e.g., rules, API‑based connectors).

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Own Everything: You’re passionate about in‑house accounting, German bookkeeping in DATEV, and building reliable close and compliance processes—and you take full ownership from start to finish.

• Raise the Bar: You’re a natural problem‑solver who streamlines workflows, fixes root causes, and implements pragmatic controls and automations that lift data quality and speed.

• Move Fast: You’re adaptable, thrive in a collaborative and fast‑paced environment, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and continuously improve how the finance engine runs.

Why Almedia?

• Own Our Growth: We offer all Berlin‑based employees equity in Almedia to truly be a part of our success.

• Scale With Almedia: Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one.

• Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.

• Other Benefits: Transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.
