To support our finance team, we are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person who wants to gain practical experience in the accounting and financial management of a growing technology company. You will work with real business transactions, learn how our financial processes operate, and help us develop them further.

• You will help compile documents for payroll accounting, our tax advisors, and other external partners.
• You will follow up on missing receipts and help ensure that our accounting records remain complete, current, and transparent.
• You will prepare basic financial overviews, analyses, and process documentation.

Grant Management & International Finance

• You will assist with allocating eligible expenses and ensuring a clear separation between different grant projects.
• You will contribute to the accounting of our US subsidiary as well as intercompany invoicing and the reconciliation of internal transactions.
• You will support the documentation and analysis of patent costs and other financial obligations.

• You have good Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Excel, and can quickly familiarize yourself with new digital applications.
