Accountant & Financial Controller @ (T1 VC-backed) Mobility Stealth Startup
<p>We’re a stealth, Tier-1 VC-backed mobility start-up that’s rewriting how vehicle inspection centers are built and operated. With a proven expansion blueprint and a clear M&A strategy, we’ll triple revenue next year. Our founders - serial entrepreneurs who’ve raised >USD 80m from top-tier US investors and just closed another strong Seed round - are pushing hard into new geographies.</p>
<p>Now we need top 0.1% builders. People who bring rigour, ownership, and urgency to every number on the page. If that sounds like you - read on.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p>You’ll own the financial backbone of a fast-scaling, ops-heavy company. Every month you close, every report you produce, and every process you build will directly support our 3x revenue trajectory. Full ownership from day one.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Accounting & Process Build-Out:</strong> Take ownership of our bookkeeping and accounting infrastructure - build it right, then make it faster.</li>
<li><strong>Financial Reporting:</strong> Prepare monthly and annual financial statements for the parent entity and subsidiaries, including consolidation support.</li>
<li><strong>Cash & Liquidity:</strong> Monitor cashflow daily and feed into liquidity planning to keep the machine running.</li>
<li><strong>Cross-functional Collaboration:</strong> Work closely with internal teams and external partners (tax advisors, auditors, banks) to keep everything tight.</li>
<li><strong>Digitisation:</strong> Lead the charge on automating and improving financial controls and workflows.</li>
</ul>
<p>No two months will look the same. One week you’re closing the books, the next you’re stress-testing our runway assumptions or structuring a new subsidiary. You’ll operate with direct access to decisions - no waiting for approvals.</p>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>2–3 years of hands-on experience in accounting or finance - you’ve closed books and built reports, not just watched others do it.</li>
<li>Solid grasp of accounting principles (HGB/IFRS) and financial reporting.</li>
<li>Experience in a fast-paced environment - start-up, VC, PE, or consulting background is a strong plus.</li>
<li>Sharp analytical mind and obsessive attention to detail.</li>
<li>Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.</li>
<li>Fully fluent in <strong>German is a must (C2)</strong>; strong English for cross-functional work.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<p><strong>Our Offer:</strong> Small HQ team, high intensity, and big outcomes. You’ll move fast and work directly with founders who trust you to deliver.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Huge End-to-End Ownership:</strong> Shape the financial foundation of a fast-scaling platform from its earliest days.</li>
<li><strong>Accelerated Career Growth:</strong> First-hand exposure to scaling a high-growth, ops-heavy start-up - a solid launchpad for future CFO or founding roles. Flat hierarchies, direct decision paths.</li>
<li><strong>Prime Location:</strong> Work from our central Berlin Mitte office (Rosenthaler Platz).</li>
<li><strong>High-Intensity Start-up Experience:</strong> Our non-remote culture runs from 8:30am. Bias for action in a revenue-driven start-up with substantial traction and profitability at the core.</li>
<li><strong>Top-Notch Product:</strong> NPS scores >90 (B2B and B2C) and Google ratings consistently between 4.8 and 5.0 stars.</li>
<li><strong>Direct Work w/ Founders:</strong> No middle management, no waiting for approval.</li>
<li><strong>Strong Compensation:</strong> Competitive base + VSOP equity package.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Hiring Process</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Intro Chat:</strong> 30-minute call with Sebastian (Chief of Staff) to align on goals and context.</li>
<li><strong>Case Study:</strong> Take-home case to assess role fit.</li>
<li><strong>Founder Chat:</strong> 30-min interview with the CEO to align on mission.</li>
<li><strong>Team Lunch:</strong> Culture fit over a meal with the team.</li>
