Das ist der Job

This is not a maintenance role.

Darum lohnt es sich

With a strong recurring revenue base and a client list that includes some of the most recognisable names in European manufacturing and industrial distribution, the business is at an inflection point.

They are professionalising their finance function ahead of a planned expansion into new markets, and are looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to own the German entity accounting and help build the processes that underpin that next chapter.

The Munich office is young, flat, and entrepreneurial - high trust, low bureaucracy, and a genuine appetite for improvement over the status quo. The Role Reporting directly to the CFO, this is an individual contributor role at the heart of the European finance function.

The business is mid-way through an ERP implementation, has improvements to be made across dunning, and has a busy audit cycle. They want someone with the initiative to own those problems and drive them forward - not someone who waits to be told what to do.
