About the Job

Requirements

  • Several years of preparing and taking responsibility for financial statements for medium-sized corporations and partnerships, in a tax or audit firm or a company's accounting department.
  • Experience presenting results directly to clients or company management.
  • Strong knowledge of HGB accounting for medium-sized businesses, including inventory valuation, work in progress, provisions, and shareholder accounts.
  • Ability to interpret a company's financial figures and translate them into an actionable direction for an owner.
  • Command of planning and forecasting mechanics, including scenarios, liquidity, and contribution margins, and ability to establish these in a company without existing planning processes.
  • Ability and willingness to use artificial intelligence for plausibility checks, analysis of account movements, planning logic, and drafting, and to automate repetitive analyses.
  • Ability to build trust with business owners and support conclusions with reliable analysis.
  • Interest in developing junior colleagues and learning from experienced business practitioners.

Responsibilities

  • Take over and independently manage an existing client portfolio, including ongoing accounting, monthly and annual financial statements, and serving as the contact for owners and managing directors.
  • Own the commercial-law financial statements for assigned clients as a standalone deliverable for the business owner; prepare the commercial-law component while the tax team handles the tax component and filings.
  • Improve the automation level of client work and reduce manual effort.
  • Lead client business-analysis or quarterly performance discussions and translate financial figures into actionable guidance for business decisions.
  • Build planning and management services on ongoing accounting, including forecasting, liquidity planning, cost and performance accounting, and contribution-margin analysis.
  • Identify when clients need other services, including tax structuring, financing, succession, or valuation, and actively connect them with the relevant teams.
  • Provide functional leadership to three or four associates through work reviews, mentoring, escalation decisions, and performance discussions in coordination with the Senior Manager.
  • Develop associates so they can lead client discussions themselves.
  • Participate in hiring at the Associate level and help set the team's working standards.
  • Develop the client portfolio through independent acquisition or cross-selling, and build a distinct area of expertise.

Desired Qualifications

  • Candidates with alternative backgrounds but their own financial-statement responsibility and client-advisory experience are invited to apply, including experienced balance-sheet accountants who already lead client discussions, controllers from established mid-sized companies with substantial accounting experience, and tax advisers whose work is primarily accounting.
  • Candidates pursuing the auditor examination may receive support.
