Accounting Specialist

Department: Finance - Accounting & Tax

Reports To: Head of Accounts Payable

Are you ready to move beyond basic transaction processing and step into a role where your financial expertise directly impacts the global health of our company? We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Intermediate Accountant to manage our critical AP/AR cycles. If you thrive on ensuring accuracy, improving processes, and being the go-to financial liaison, this is your chance to shine.

What You Will Do: The Core of the Role

This position serves as a key bridge between internal operations and external financial reporting, ensuring the smooth flow of funds in and out of the company.

• Full-Cycle Ownership (High Volume): Manage the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, including booking approximately 200 approved invoices monthly into the ERP system (Optima), ensuring all details (VAT, cost center, due date) are correctly logged before payment.

• Payment Execution & Reconciliation: Execute payment schedules, including exporting approved payment files, handling manual payments (proformas, foreign currencies), and executing Split Payment procedures for VAT invoices.

• Audit-Ready Books: Maintain and reconcile AP/AR ledger accounts to the highest audit standards at month-end, ensuring ledgers comply with both local GAAP and Group consolidation requirements.

• Expense & Credit Card Management: Take responsibility for the full processing cycle of expenses.

• Compliance and Verification: Proactively analyze bill runs and transactions to identify anomalies, prevent fraud, and ensure robust transaction verification protocols are strictly followed. This includes checking reports to assign costs as taxable or non-taxable and transferring VAT invoices to the VAT register.

• Closing Excellence: Ensure timely and accurate submission of all monthly closing figures and supporting documentation for assigned entities.

Why You'll Thrive Here

This role is designed for growth, offering you autonomy and challenging assignments that broaden your technical and leadership skills.

• Process Improvement: You won't just follow guidelines; you'll analyze existing processes and use your judgment and technical experience to suggest and implement better solutions.

• High Visibility: Work closely with Accounts Payable and GL Team members and interact regularly with internal department heads and external authorities/consultants.

• Immediate Impact: Your work directly impacts the financial quality and accuracy for multiple entities, providing a visible contribution to the team's success.

• Autonomy: While routine tasks receive general guidance, you will be trusted to manage problems of moderate scope, analyzing situations independently.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience: Proven working knowledge and experience within an Accounts Payable and/or Accounts Receivable function, ideally with experience handling high-volume transaction processing.

• Financial Acumen: Ability to analyze situations using prescribed guidelines and build continued knowledge of company processes and customers.

• Communication: Excellent command of English is mandatory. Proficiency in German is a significant plus for interacting with European entities and authorities.

• Mindset: You are proactive, quality-focused, and comfortable building productive working relationships across the business.
