Description du poste

Join the MIKUTA team as our Junior Accountant (m/f/d)! Play a crucial role in supporting smooth financial operations and keeping our accounting processes organised and efficient. If you have a strong background in finance or accounting and thrive in dynamic environments, we’d love to hear from you!

Founded in Berlin by Jacqueline Mikuta and Klemens Weiss, MIKUTA began in 2017 with a jewelry line and expanded into women's ready-to-wear in 2019. Today, MIKUTA is an independent fashion brand known for effortless design, premium feel, and a distinct point of view.

Our Team is spread across Europe, with a Studio Office in Berlin and a production Office in northern Portugal.

ABOUT THE JOB

We’re looking for a Junior Accountant to join our Finance team. You’ll handle day-to-day accounting across our Portuguese and German entities, from processing invoices to supporting VAT returns and month-end close. It’s a hands‑on role in a small, international team. You’ll own real work in our systems from day one, and we’ll actively welcome your ideas for improving how we do things.

Key Responsibilities:

Invoice processing & payables

• Receive, verify and process vendor invoices and employee expense claims accurately and on time
• Match incoming invoices to purchase orders or approvals, and flag discrepancies promptly
• Allocate costs to the correct accounts, cost centres and VAT categories in line with company policy
• Coordinate payment runs and keep an organised, audit-ready filing system

Accounts receivable & revenue recording

• Support the issuing of client invoices by checking amounts, VAT treatment and payment terms
• Monitor receivables and help follow up on outstanding balances, keeping communication courteous and professional

General ledger & compliance

• Post journal entries and help with monthly and quarterly closing
• Support VAT returns in Portugal (IVA / OSS) and/or Germany (Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung / OSS), depending on your base location
• Help prepare statutory reporting and audit documentation, making sure records are complete and accurate
• Spot allocation errors or process gaps and propose corrective actions

Continuous improvement & learning

• Suggest improvements to processes, templates and workflows that make the work more accurate and efficient
• Keep up to date with relevant accounting standards (SNC/PGAAP and HGB basics) and the local tax rules that apply to your work

ABOUT YOU

• A degree in Accounting or Management (Contabilidade / Gestão), completed or nearly completed, with a solid grounding in Portuguese GAAP
• Solid knowledge of Portuguese IVA and OSS, since Portugal is the main workload
• Hands‑on experience with DATEV, or at least with a similar German‑style ERP built on chart‑of‑accounts logic. You’ll post and reconcile entries yourself, not just read reports.
• Fluent Portuguese and English for day-to-day work with the team
• Organised and detail‑oriented, comfortable asking questions and flagging issues early
• Nice to have: German, especially enough to read invoices, vendor emails and basic accounting terms

WHAT WE OFFER

• Permanent contract with opportunities to grow and learn
• €1,000 MIKUTA gift card per year
• 25% Friends & Family discount
• Regular team events & company offsites
• 27 Days of Annual Holiday plus additional time off between Christmas and New Year.
• Flexible hybrid Work: Work from home 1–2 days per week.
• 1–2 weeks per year Extended Remote Work Opportunities upon request.
• Meal/food allowance card worth around 211€ (net) per month
• Individual benefits via Coverflex worth €170(net) per month, usable for:
  • Public transport support
  • Gym membership
  • Meal/food allowance cards
  • Education allowance
  • And much more
