Job Summary

We’re seeking a highly motivated and experienced Manager to play a pivotal role in the accounting and finance transformation of Axon’s German subsidiaries. This unique opportunity allows you to shape the financial landscape of our growing operations in Germany, including manufacturing, supply chain, and intercompany flows across legal entities.

The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in both US GAAP and HGB, with a proven track record in complex transition and post‑merger integration projects—particularly those focused on ERP systems and local statutory reporting. You will be instrumental in ensuring accuracy and efficiency of our month‑end close processes and support global accounting and financial reporting. Experience in manufacturing finance is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting and Finance

• Support growth strategy and global delivery model, contributing to the setup of manufacturing in German production facilities, including inventory accounting and cost‑centre structures.
• Execute the month‑end close process according to US GAAP, delivering timely and accurate financial close, including processing journal entries, reconciliations, and reviewing customer contracts for accounting assessments.
• Develop and execute monthly analytics to compare budget vs. actuals, analyse close results, and drive working‑capital improvement initiatives.
• Prepare local GAAP financial statements, including notes, disclosures, and management reports.
• Support the implementation and execution of robust SOX controls and adequate process and control documentation.
• Establish and monitor inventory accounting and control procedures, including physical inventory counts, inventory valuation, and movement tracking across facilities in Germany.
• Help build collaborative relationships with local authorities such as customs, fiscal, and statistics offices, and support all authority and financial statement audits.
• Support tax reporting in close collaboration with Axon’s global tax team, implementing secure execution of the global transfer‑pricing policy.

Transformation

• Execute strategy to in‑source critical accounting activities currently delivered through external accounting firms.
• Spearhead the creation of statutory ledger reporting in Axon’s global ERP (Microsoft D365) for Axon Germany, including CoA mapping, US GAAP to statutory reconciliations, and tax reporting.
• Spearhead ERP transition of recently acquired Dedrone GmbH from Oracle NetSuite to Microsoft D365.
• Support the execution of mergers between German entities, focusing on process and system integration, balance transfers, and driving synergies.
• Support global improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and controllership in finance and accounting processes, e.g., implementation of BlackLine and Workiva.

Preferred Experience

• 10 years of overall accounting experience within a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment—preferably in public or large pre‑IPO companies.
• Bachelor’s or higher degree in accounting or finance or a related field.
• Experience in post‑merger integration projects or larger transformation initiatives.
• Experience in SOX control documentation/execution.
• Advanced Excel skills and ability to work with large volumes of transactional data.
• Experience with Salesforce, Oracle NetSuite, or Microsoft D365 is a plus.
• Strong organizational and verbal/written communication skills, critical‑thinking capability, networking and stakeholder management, teamwork.
• Excellent time‑ and self‑management skills, ability to prioritize and multitask to meet deadlines.
