About the Role

This role sits at the heart of the finance function, owning end-to-end group consolidation and financial reporting across multiple group entities. Working closely with the Head of Finance, you'll drive accuracy, scalability, and continuous improvement in consolidation workflows — making a direct impact on the quality of financial insight across the organisation.

What You'll Do

• Design and optimise consolidation processes in LucaNet, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations, and capital consolidation, with a focus on scalability and efficiency.

• Consolidate individual financial statements from group companies and contribute to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, including plausibility checks and financial analysis.

• Support group reporting at both standalone and consolidated levels, creating and commenting on budget-vs-actual (Soll-/Ist) variance analyses.

• Analyse complex balance sheet and P&L structures within a group accounting context.

• Advise group entities on harmonising accounting and tax treatments across the organisation.

• Continuously refine and enhance consolidation and reporting processes to drive operational excellence.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in group accounting and consolidation, with direct involvement in consolidating financial statements across multiple group entities.

• Demonstrated expertise in intercompany reconciliations, interim result eliminations, capital consolidation, and debt consolidation.

• Degree in business administration, accounting, or finance with a focus on HGB/IFRS reporting standards, or an equivalent professional qualification.

• Proven proficiency with LucaNet or a comparable consolidation software platform.

• Experience across both accounting/controlling and group consolidation — not just one or the other.

• Experience preparing and reviewing consolidated financial statements, including variance analysis and plausibility checks.

• Fluent German (C1+) and business-fluent English (C1) — both written and spoken.

• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics ERP and/or DATEV is a plus.
