About the Job

Requirements

  • Be a tax advisor or auditor and have initial experience as a team lead.
  • Have at least four years of experience in audit or accounting advisory at KPMG, EY, Deloitte, PwC, Rödl, or Ebner Stolz, including responsibility for group engagements with substantial consolidation work.
  • Have practical expertise in HGB consolidation, including capital consolidation, eliminations, and purchase price allocation following an acquisition.
  • Work accurately and document work so that another person can understand it without follow-up questions; demonstrate Excel skills beyond pivot tables.
  • Use artificial intelligence as a routine tool for reconciliation, research, documentation, and increasing personal output.
  • Take responsibility for financial figures rather than limiting involvement to issuing audit opinions, and maintain high standards.
  • SQL, Python, or another capability demonstrating that analyses are not repeatedly built manually.
  • Experience with bank reporting or covenant reporting.

Responsibilities

  • Take responsibility for group financial statements under HGB across all entities, including capital and debt consolidation, intercompany profit elimination, and expense and revenue consolidation.
  • Integrate each acquisition into the consolidation group, from the opening balance sheet and purchase price allocation through ongoing inclusion, using a process that can support future acquisitions without a special run.
  • Document consolidation logic transparently and clearly.
  • Oversee ongoing accounting across all entities and take responsibility for monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
  • Identify recurring manual work for automation, including posting, reconciliation, and close preparation, and build solutions with the automation team.
  • Manage interfaces with DATEV, external auditors, and external advisors to reduce queries and provide timely answers.
  • Own reporting to financing partners, including covenants, metrics, and reporting obligations, and deliver it accurately enough to avoid follow-up questions.
  • Prepare financial information for stakeholders with differing interests and assess what conclusions the figures do and do not support.
  • Serve as the internal point of contact for accounting questions, resolving matters that would otherwise be referred to external advisors.

Desired Qualifications

  • SQL, Python, or another capability demonstrating that analyses are not repeatedly built manually.
  • Experience with bank reporting or covenant reporting.
