Revenue Accountant

Accounting & Finance · Berlin, Germany

Own the revenue & AR engine of a scaling energy-tech company, where clean accounting directly enables growth, trust, and Series-B-readiness.

trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. Our business sits at the intersection of energy flows, complex B2B contracts, and fast-moving markets, which makes our revenue anything but standard: energy products, variable pricing, and multiple billing cadences, each with its own recognition logic and data source.

As our Revenue Accountant, you will own the processes that turn this complexity into clean, auditable numbers. You'll work closely with our Tech and Data team on 15-minute interval energy data, hundreds of contract variants, and data flowing from CRM, energy warehouse, and finance tooling into a single revenue truth. A lot of what you'll need doesn't exist yet, you'll help build it from the ground up.

This is a role for someone who wants real ownership in a small, fast-growing team, and who is looking for a company they can grow with as we scale toward Series B and beyond.
