Accountant General Ledger & Fixed Asset (m/f/d) fixed-term

As Specialist Accountant, you independently manage an assigned responsibility area – one or several entities, or a defined accounting scope – end-to-end. You understand the business behind the numbers, act as a sparring partner for local Finance and are not afraid to question how things have always been done. Expect real operational accounting work: closing, reconciliations and analysis are the core of the job.

What you will do

• Month-end and year-end closing – Own the close for your entities, including journal entries, accruals, provisions, prepaids and recurring postings
• Fixed assets – Account for additions, disposals and depreciation
• Intercompany and bank – Handle intercompany accounting and reconciliations, bank postings and VAT-related entries
• Reconciliations and analysis – Prepare balance-sheet reconciliations, sanity checks and flux analyses – and explain what moved and why
• Audit trail – Keep every posting audit-ready, with complete and reproducible backup in SAP
• Sparring partner for local Finance – Challenge account assignments, accounting treatments and unnecessary local practices – constructively and with good arguments
• Centralization – Spot tasks that belong in the Shared Service Center and drive their transfer
• Continuous improvement – Find root causes, fix them sustainably and improve our processes and documentation
• Audits and team support – Support audits and be the first point of contact for junior colleagues in your area

• Degree in business administration, finance or accounting, or an equivalent vocational accounting qualification
• 3+ years of experience in General Ledger accounting, including month-end and year-end closing
• Sound practical IFRS knowledge and a good understanding of fixed asset accounting
• Confident, independent use of SAP and strong Excel skills
• Economic understanding and professional skepticism: you do not book what you do not understand
• The ability to look beyond your own task and see how it affects other entities, processes and people
• Clear, confident communication and the ability to disagree respectfully
• Respect for different company and country cultures
• Fluent English
