Accountant & Financial Controller @ (T1 VC-backed) Mobility Stealth Startup

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.

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.

Tasks

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.

• Accounting & Process Build-Out: Take ownership of our bookkeeping and accounting infrastructure - build it right, then make it faster.
• Financial Reporting: Prepare monthly and annual financial statements for the parent entity and subsidiaries, including consolidation support.
• Cash & Liquidity: Monitor cashflow daily and feed into liquidity planning to keep the machine running.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams and external partners (tax advisors, auditors, banks) to keep everything tight.
• Digitisation: Lead the charge on automating and improving financial controls and workflows.

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.

Requirements

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience in accounting or finance - you’ve closed books and built reports, not just watched others do it.
• Solid grasp of accounting principles (HGB/IFRS) and financial reporting.
• Experience in a fast-paced environment - start-up, VC, PE, or consulting background is a strong plus.
• Sharp analytical mind and obsessive attention to detail.
• Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
• Fully fluent in German is a must (C2) ; strong English for cross-functional work.

• Prime Location: Work from our central Berlin Mitte office (Rosenthaler Platz).
