Your mission
We are building a scalable and reliable accounting team across Germany and the US. As Accountant, you take ownership of defined accounting areas and ensure our numbers are accurate, timely, and decision-ready. You will work closely with the Controller and contribute directly to improving and scaling our financial processes.
The Role
This is a hands-on role with clear ownership. You will take responsibility for specific accounting areas and help us continuously improve our processes and procedures. We are looking for someone who works independently, communicates clearly, and reliably drives topics to completion. You will collaborate closely with the broader accounting team, finance team, Controller, and CFO—especially during key phases like monthly close.
Key Responsibilities

Financial Statements: Prepare and support monthly and annual financial statements (HGB & GAAP)
Consolidation & Reporting: Support consolidation and reporting
Monthly Close: Ensure a clean, timely, and reliable monthly close
Transaction Monitoring: Reconcile and monitor transactions across systems (e.g. Shopify, Stripe, PayPal)
Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with tax advisors, auditors, and internal stakeholders
Process Improvement: Improve and scale accounting processes and system setup (e.g. DATEV, ERP)
Your profile
German Accounting: Strong knowledge of German accounting (HGB) with at least five years of experience as an accountant at an accounting firm or fast-growing company
International Standards: Experience with US GAAP
E-Commerce: Experience in e-commerce or high-volume transaction environments preferred
Technical Skills: Comfortable working with payment providers (e.g. Stripe, PayPal), DATEV, and modern ERP setups; fluent with ERP systems and spreadsheets (Excel, G-Sheets)
You also:
Deliver on time and communicate early if something needs attention
Are comfortable working in a fast-paced, demanding and rapidly changing environment
Speak up when something does not look right
Understand your numbers and can explain them clearly
Keep others proactively informed on progress, risks, and blockers
Are reliable, responsive, and easy to work with
Step in when needed beyond your core tasks
Why us?
Shape the Future: You will directly influence our journey as we scale from a startup to an international company.
Innovative Culture: Work with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and designers who embrace contrarian thinking and humility.
Global Impact: Join us in our mission to put 3D-printed shoes on every foot and eliminate waste in the footwear industry.
Growth: We offer a dynamic work environment with flat hierarchies where your voice will be heard.
- Diverse Team: We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture. Your background, age, race, gender, or beliefs don’t matter to us—what counts is your passion and the value you bring to the team.
