We are a fast-scaling telecom startup reinventing how people connect — powered by cutting-edge software, eSIM technology, and a global MVNO network. Backed by top-tier investors, we’re rapidly expanding our footprint across Europe.
We’re now looking for a hands-on Accounting & Financial Controlling Manager to join our small but mighty team. You’ll take full ownership of our finance operations in Germany — and play a key role as we scale across additional EU markets.
What You’ll Do- Run the full accounting process for our German entity using DATEV
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements (HGB; IFRS over time)
- Manage payment flows, dunning, and liquidity planning
- Support budget planning, forecasting, and cost analysis
- Coordinate with our US finance team (QuickBooks, US GAAP) and consolidate financial data
- Liaise with tax advisors, auditors, and the tax office (including VAT filings)
- Build and improve internal finance processes and controls from the ground up
- 5–8 years of experience in accounting or controlling, ideally in a fast-moving or international environment
- Deep knowledge of German GAAP (HGB), VAT, and financial reporting
- Experience with DATEV (Unternehmen Online, Rechnungswesen) or similar tools
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills
- Relevant qualification (e.g. certified accountant, tax specialist, or degree in Business/Finance/Accounting)
- Full professional fluency in both German and English
Nice to have:
- Experience in telecom, tech, startups, or international structures
- Familiarity with IFRS, QuickBooks, and/or US GAAP
- Competitive salary: €50,000–80,000/year, depending on experience
- Remote-first setup with flexible hours
- High-impact role with real ownership and autonomy
- Join an ambitious startup backed by top investors
- Flat hierarchies and direct collaboration with the founders
- A chance to shape the finance function in a company that’s just getting started
