  • Prepare and file VAT returns and other tax filings (e.g. EC Sales Lists, OSS)
  • Support year-end close, tax audits, and collaboration with auditors and tax advisors
  • Help optimise and digitise processes within the SAP ERP system
  • Coordinate with other teams (e.g. Procurement, Legal, Controlling)

Requirements

  • A completed commercial apprenticeship plus certification as a Bilanzbuchhalter (IHK) and/or a comparable qualification, e.g. a relevant degree (Bachelor's/Master's in Accounting)
  • At least 3 years of accounting experience in the IT/software/cloud sector; experience in an international setting is a plus
  • Strong knowledge of German commercial law (HGB) and EU VAT law
  • Experience with accruals, reconciliations, VAT, and supporting year-end close and audits
  • Confident with accounting software (SAP Business One) and MS Excel; experience with Google Sheets and other tools is a plus
  • Experience with accounts payable and accounts receivable, as well as working with tax advisors and auditors, is a plus
  • A careful, structured, and self-directed way of working
  • Fluent German and excellent written and spoken English (English is our company language)
  • Eligibility to work in Spain

Benefits

  • A role with real responsibility, where you'll have a direct hand in shaping how we work
  • A fast-paced, international environment in an innovative tech company
  • Flexible hours and the option to work hybrid
  • Modern tools (SAP, Power BI, AI, and more)
  • A friendly, international team with a flat structure and open, honest communication
