Senior Accountant (German language)

Scalivo builds operational and financial teams for European companies. Our teams operate as internal departments of the client, rather than as external service providers.

For one of our key clients (Berlin, Germany), we are strengthening the finance department and are looking for a Senior Accountant who will work directly with the company’s CFO. This is a role with a high level of responsibility and the opportunity to lead a team in the future.

Your Role

Your task is to independently manage the company’s accounting and prepare financial statements (close out reporting periods), streamline reporting processes, and work side-by-side with the CFO. We’re looking for someone who isn’t afraid of working independently, is ready to take on responsibility, and is capable of working in a rapidly changing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Full management of daily accounting operations.
• Working in the Odoo system (or similar ERPs: SAP, NetSuite, DATEV, etc.).
• Preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
• Managing accounts receivable and accounts payable (AP/AR).
• Monitoring cash flow and reconciling bank accounts and balance sheets.
• Ensuring compliance with German and EU accounting requirements.
• Optimizing and documenting accounting processes.
• In the event of team expansion—participating in recruitment and mentoring new accountants (a team of up to 5 people).

Our expectations for the candidate:

• At least 5 years of experience in accounting or finance.
• German — Upper-Intermediate / Advanced (daily working language). Knowledge of English is not required but would be a significant advantage.
• Solid experience working with ERP systems.
• Understanding of month-end closing processes and international reporting standards.
• Experience working with German or international companies.
• High level of self-organization, pragmatism, and reliability.
• Willingness to take on a role that may evolve (from an independent specialist to a Lead Accountant).

What we offer:

• Full-time employment in a stable, growing project.
• 100% remote work.
• Direct collaboration with the CFO in Berlin.
• Competitive salary in euros.
• 24 calendar days of paid vacation per year.
• Paid sick leave.
• A high level of trust and autonomy.
• Transparency and no “false promises”—we value honesty.
