Job description

Finance & Legal · Markranstädt, Saxony, Germany · Full-time · Senior level

A senior accountant in a manufacturing or technology company typically owns the general ledger, monthly and annual closes, and financial statements under German GAAP or IFRS. The role often supports accounts payable and receivable, fixed assets, inventory, and tax filings, and works with auditors and controllers. A strong candidate brings several years of accounting experience, comfort with ERP systems, and care with detail in a growing energy storage business.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools now handle routine bookkeeping, invoice matching, and first pass reconciliations, so the accountant spends less time on data entry. The human work shifts to reviewing exceptions, judging accounting treatment, and explaining numbers to managers. Controls, audit readiness, and clear judgment remain central as automation increases.

How it builds AI experience

Working at an energy storage company gives exposure to AI assisted finance tools used for closing, reporting, and analysis. A candidate can build this by learning ERP automation, data validation, and basic analytics for cost and inventory tracking. That experience carries into any technology or manufacturing finance team.

Worth showing

• German GAAP or IFRS
• Monthly close ownership
• ERP systems
• Audit support
