Record to Report Manager leading finance transformation in a hybrid environment. Stabilizing accounting processes and ensuring audit readiness for multi-entity finance operations.
Responsibilities
Own the Close (GL leadership): Stabilize and continuously improve month-end and year-end close across entities.
Intercompany Excellence: Design and run group-wide intercompany processes. Ensure IC mismatches are surfaced early, resolved fast, and do not derail the close.
Audit readiness & internal controls: Own audit preparedness by strengthening documentation, evidence, and controls.
The IFRS Pivot: Lead the operational transition from "Local GAAP first" reporting to an IFRS-first model, ensuring teams perform primary bookings in IFRS while managing local adjustments for tax and statutory needs.
Systems Transformation: Act as a champion for our group-wide migration from legacy systems (DATEV, Sage) to NetSuite, ensuring teams are trained, motivated, and supported through the transition.
Change Leadership: Transform the mindset of the DACH and French accounting teams, fostering an environment where innovation and technical proficiency are celebrated rather than avoided.
Process Standardization: Define and implement standardized group-wide processes for the Chart of Accounts, General Ledger, period-end closing, and intercompany eliminations.
Operational Excellence: Ensure accurate and compliant financial reporting to support group-wide decision-making and meet all regulatory requirements.
Collaboration: Partner closely with the Finance Systems, IFRS & Consolidation team to align operational bookings with corporate reporting and audit standards.
Requirements
Core accounting leader: You have deep, practical ownership of the General Ledger, close, and balance sheet in a multi-entity environment. You’re comfortable going into the detail to solve problems and coach others.
Change-oriented leader: not a “caretaker” accountant, someone who enjoys moving people and processes from Point A to Point B.
Tech-savvy: comfortable leveraging finance systems; NetSuite experience is a strong plus, but the adoption mindset matters most.
Strong technical foundation: Deep understanding of IFRS and HGB (German GAAP), with the ability to translate complex principles into operational reality across international entities.
Resilient & empathetic: able to navigate resistance, create clarity, and build momentum in demanding environments.
International mindset: confident leading across cultures, especially in DACH and France.
Languages: Fluency in German (min. C1) and English, as these serve as the company languages.
