(Senior) Accounting Manager (f/m/x)

Kurz zusammengefasst

The role is a (Senior) Accounting Manager at SPARETECH, a fast‑growing start‑up that provides an AI‑driven MRO platform for industrial manufacturers. The company operates a German GmbH and a US Inc., and the manager will bring the accounting function in‑house, covering both entities and supporting the firm's global expansion. Day‑to‑day you will handle the full accounting cycle: bookkeeping, month‑end close, and preparation of annual financial statements for the German and US entities. You will own revenue recognition, purchase‑to‑pay, order‑to‑cash, balance‑sheet postings and asset tracking, and you will design and run a consolidation process that links the two entities. Selecting and rolling out a scalable global accounting and consolidation tool, building on the current DATEV (Germany) and NetSuite (US) setup, is also part of the remit, as is close collaboration with tax advisors, auditors and the VP of Finance. The must‑have profile includes three to eight years of accounting experience, preferably in a start‑up, with solid knowledge of German GAAP (HGB) and experience in SaaS revenue recognition. A university degree in accounting, finance or business is required, and fluency in both German and English is essential. Nice‑to‑have attributes are experience at a Big 4 or mid‑tier audit firm, professional qualifications such as ACCA or CPA, familiarity with US GAAP, DATEV, NetSuite or other accounting software implementations, and a proactive attitude toward automation using AI tools. The position is fully remote within Germany, with optional office use in Stuttgart, Munich or other Design Offices locations, and offers a permanent contract, 30 days of vacation, a VSOP participation plan, modern hardware, a training budget, and a range of corporate benefits.
