This role exists to bring expert German GAAP (HGB) precision in-house, ensuring our financial operations match the speed of our product engineering and AI-assisted workflows. Without you, we cannot build the scalable, automated internal controls needed to support our next phase of international growth.

- Drive process automation projects across our finance tech stack using Excel, Google Sheets, and integrations.
Who this is a fit for- HGB Accounting Expert: 5+ years of financial accounting experience, deeply focused on German Commercial Code and monthly closings.

- Systems Builder: Proven capability to independently design, implement, and monitor complex internal control systems (ICS/IKS).
- Bilingual Communicator: Excellent command of German and professional proficiency in English.
- Agile Operator: Prior startup experience with a bias for outcome-over-ego and high-ownership environments.

What it's like to work hereThe company’s culture is high-ownership, flat, and transparent, guided by core operating principles like "Step Up" and "Do the Work". It is an authentic, outcome-over-ego environment. Additionally, the company embraces AI-assisted workflows to build fast and ship smart. For this finance team, they work in a remote-first, globally distributed context but maintain a collaborative, accountable setup.

- You are uncomfortable with change, fast-paced automation, or working across modern, digital-first finance tools.
