Jobbeschreibung

Visting Finance Analyst

Knowunity is building the future of learning, and our Finance function needs to scale just as fast. We're looking for a Visiting Finance Analyst to work directly alongside our Director Finance & People and closely with the founders. You'll be a hands‑on contributor across everything from financial close and reporting to process automation and cross‑functional projects, learning the craft of finance in a high‑growth startup from the people building it. Think of this as a front‑row seat within Finance: real ownership of your workstreams, direct access to leadership, and the chance to see how a modern finance function is built from the ground up.

Your Impact

• Support the Director: Act as a right hand for the Director — help prepare decision briefs, support cross‑functional initiatives, and keep projects moving so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Finance Operations & Accounting: Support key financial processes including the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and help coordinate with external auditors. Contribute to accurate, reliable financial reporting across jurisdictions.
• Controlling & Financial Planning: Assist with operational controlling — budget planning, financial forecasting, and liquidity tracking. Help build monthly reporting, support ad‑hoc deep dives, and turn data into clear analysis that informs decisions.
• AI & Automation: Spot and help implement opportunities to automate manual finance workflows using AI tools, low‑code platforms, and smart integrations. Be part of the shift from static reporting to dynamic, AI‑enhanced financial intelligence.
• Cross‑Functional Bridge: Help coordinate with tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers, and work alongside teams across the org such as Growth and Engineering.

Your Background

• Education: Currently studying, on a gap year, or recently graduated in business, finance, economics, or a related field, ideally at a strong university.
• Some Exposure: Any prior internship or coursework in finance, accounting, controlling, or consulting is a plus — but curiosity and drive matter most.
• Analytical Chops: Strong analytical mindset and solid Excel skills. You enjoy turning messy data into clear answers.
• Tech‑Forward Mindset: A strong interest in AI tools and how they can automate and improve the way work gets done. Familiarity with BI or low‑code tools is a bonus.
• Accounting Basics: A foundational understanding of accounting principles; familiarity with German accounting practices or IFRS is a plus.
• Languages: Strong German and English skills, written and spoken.
• Mindset: Proactive, self‑driven, and pragmatic. You're eager to learn, take ownership of your work, and get energized by working closely with leadership.

What We Offer

• Real ownership from day one - direct access to founders and leadership, flat hierarchy.
• Elite team and true ownership: You’ll work alongside 60 exceptional young people who match your ambition within a flat hierarchy - direct access to founders and leadership without bureaucratic middle layers.
• Benefits: 28 days annual leave, mental health support via Nilo, Urban Sports Club, team and company events
