I'm working with a growing international business in the Karlsruhe area that is strengthening its Accounting function and looking for experienced Accountants who combine strong German accounting knowledge with a genuinely digital and data-driven approach.
This isn't a traditional bookkeeping position. We're looking for someone who is hands-on in DATEV and DUO with a proven track record using it, confident working with accounting data and comfortable operating across multiple entities and systems.
What you'll be doing
- Own day-to-day financial accounting across German entities
- Work hands-on with DATEV and DATEV Unternehmen online (DUO)
- Handle AP, AR, bank accounting, open items and account reconciliations
- Support monthly, quarterly and annual closing activities under HGB
- Perform intercompany reconciliations, recharges and cross-company accounting
- Work with LucaNet for reporting and consolidation activities
- Prepare, upload, validate and reconcile financial data from different source systems
- Analyse accounting data and identify inconsistencies before they become problems
- Support VAT-related accounting activities and documentation
- Work closely with internal Finance stakeholders, auditors and tax advisers
- Improve and digitalise accounting workflows, interfaces and controls
- Help develop more efficient processes around invoices, payments, expenses and financial reporting
What we're looking for:
The most important thing is genuine hands-on experience. You'll be expected to explain what you've personally done in DATEV/DUO and how you've worked with accounting data.
Must-have:
- Several years of hands-on German financial accounting experience
- Strong practical DATEV experience
- Experience with DATEV Unternehmen online (DUO)
- Experience with LucaNet, particularly consolidation/reporting
- Strong understanding of HGB and German accounting
- Experience with intercompany accounting/reconciliation
- Very good Excel skills, including Pivot Tables
- Ability to analyse, reconcile and validate large sets of accounting data
- Fluent/native-level German and strong professional English
- High level of accuracy, ownership and independence
Particularly valuable:
- Experience working across multiple legal entities or within a group/holding structure
- SKR03 / SKR04
- Power Query and/or Power BI
- Digital invoice and document workflows
- Experience improving or automating Finance processes
- Experience with international accounting environments
Must live in or within close distance to Karlsruhe for on-site presence.
The environment:
You'll join an international, growing organisation where Finance is becoming increasingly digital.
The business operates across multiple entities and systems, so this role suits someone who enjoys the intersection between Accounting, systems and data rather than somebody who simply wants to process transactions.
