What the job involves

• As a Group Senior Accountant you have the knowledge and skills to lead group accounting activities in accordance with German GAAP and IFRS, including preparation of consolidated financial statements and reports, ensure compliance with local tax regulations with a solid understanding of German tax requirements, and implement and manage accounting systems, and you want to drive real value with them:
• You deliver across group accounting, consolidation, and system implementation. Whether it is overseeing LucaNet and NetSuite operations, implementing Multi-Book and OneWorld in NetSuite, taking ownership of the planned migration of group consolidation from LucaNet to NetSuite, or preparing consolidated financial statements and reports, you feel comfortable solving the puzzle. And if you don’t know how, you are happy to dive right in and learn!
• You design and build scalable and high-impact accounting systems and processes.
