More information: digitalvirgo.com

Alchimie GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Virgo Group. Based in Düsseldorf, our company provides content distribution, media aggregation and streaming services in partnership with German telecom operators.

The role

As part of the planned retirement of our current accountant, we are looking for a Finance Manager / Senior Accountant to take ownership of the finance and accounting activities of our German operations.

Reporting directly to the local CEO, you will be the stand-alone finance professional for two small German legal entities, while working closely with Digital Virgo’s Group Finance teams.

This is a hands-on position: you will manage day-to-day accounting yourself, ensure monthly and year-end closings, oversee local tax compliance and contribute to financial analysis and Group reporting.

You will also play a key role in the upcoming migration to the Group ERP, Workday.

A transition period with the current accountant will be organised before his retirement in early 2027.

Your main responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day accounting: general ledger, AP/AR, bank accounting and customer invoicing.
• Own the monthly closing process, including accruals, provisions, reconciliations and other closing entries.
• Prepare the accounts and supporting documentation for the annual statutory closing.
• Manage recurring tax compliance, including VAT declarations, with support from external tax advisers when needed.
• Prepare financial information and reporting for Digital Virgo Group and manage intercompany accounting.
• Ensure appropriate accounting of Group profit-sharing arrangements and compliance with transfer-pricing policies.
• Analyse revenue, costs and margins, investigate variances and identify errors or improvement opportunities.
• Support budgeting, forecasting and ad-hoc financial analysis.
• Act as the local Finance key contact for the Workday implementation, from process mapping and data preparation through testing and go-live.

Qualifications

You are a hands-on, experienced accounting professional who can independently manage the accounts of small German entities through monthly and year-end closing.

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years of relevant accounting experience, ideally in a German SME, German subsidiary of an international group, or accounting/tax advisory firm.
• Strong practical knowledge of German accounting (HGB) and experience preparing monthly and year-end closings, including accruals, provisions and balance-sheet reconciliations.
• Practical knowledge of German VAT and recurring tax compliance; you do not need to be a tax expert, as external advisers can provide support on complex or one-off matters.
• Ability and willingness to manage day-to-day bookkeeping yourself. This is a stand-alone Finance position with no accounting team reporting to you.
• Good understanding of P&L and margin analysis, with the ability to investigate variances and identify accounting errors or business improvement opportunities.
• Comfortable working with ERP and finance systems and strong Excel skills. Experience with Workday or an ERP implementation/migration is a plus.
• Fluent German and good professional English, enabling you to work directly with Digital Virgo's international Finance teams.
• Autonomous, rigorous and pragmatic, with the confidence to raise issues and interact directly with the local CEO and Group Finance.

Additional Information

What we offer

A broad and autonomous Finance role within a small local organisation, combined with the exposure and projects of an international Group.

You will join at an important time for our German operations, with a second legal entity being established and the upcoming Workday implementation.

Compensation: €55,000–€65,000 gross/year, depending on experience.

Remote working : TBD (hybrid mode)

Location: Düsseldorf, Germany.
