Requirements

  • Be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) with at least 5–7 years of post-qualification professional experience and a proven record in a complex, multi-entity general ledger environment.
  • Be able to manage the entire closing process independently with minimal supervision.
  • Have comprehensive knowledge of accounting principles (HGB and IFRS) and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Have extensive experience with enterprise-wide ERP systems such as SAP, NetSuite, or Workday, and preparing advanced financial models in Excel.
  • Maintain accurate, fully supported, and reconciled balance-sheet accounts.
  • Have time-management ability and a proven ability to prioritize tasks under pressure during tight closing cycles.

Responsibilities

  • Own and manage month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing processes, ensuring deadlines are met and financial statements are accurate.
  • Prepare and post complex, material general ledger entries, including subjective accruals, deferred revenue, prepayments, and intercompany transactions.
  • Perform and review critical balance-sheet reconciliations and independently investigate and resolve discrepancies.
  • Manage intercompany accounting, including transfer-pricing adjustments, loan agreements, and multi-currency reconciliations.
  • Support preparation of consolidated annual financial statements and regulatory filings under local accounting standards (HGB) and IFRS.
  • Continuously assess and optimize general ledger processes, the chart of accounts, and financial systems to improve efficiency and automate manual tasks.
  • Ensure strict compliance with internal controls, SOX requirements, and company financial policies.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with ERP migrations, system upgrades, or implementation of specialized modules such as fixed-asset management, inventory tracking, or automated reconciliation tools.
  • Familiarity with robotic process automation tools or basic scripting languages such as VBA or Python to automate repetitive month-end tasks.
  • Experience in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment and knowledge of foreign-currency accounting and intercompany transactions.
  • A record of identifying inefficiencies in financial workflows and successfully implementing process-improvement initiatives, such as shortening the month-end close cycle.
