• You will contribute to account reconciliations, open-item management, and the preparation of monthly and annual financial statements.
• You will help compile documents for payroll accounting, our tax advisors, and other external partners.
• You will follow up on missing receipts and help ensure that our accounting records remain complete, current, and transparent.
• You will prepare basic financial overviews, analyses, and process documentation.

• You will support the documentation and analysis of patent costs and other financial obligations.
• You will help us improve and digitalize our internal finance and approval processes.

What you should bring in:

• You are studying business administration, economics, finance, accounting, controlling, or a comparable subject.
• You are interested in financial accounting and want to understand how the financial processes of an international startup work in practice.
• You work carefully, reliably, and in a well-organized manner and can maintain an overview of numerous documents and individual transactions.
• You have good Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Excel, and can quickly familiarize yourself with new digital applications.

• You have very good German and good English skills.
