- Support key financial processes including the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and help coordinate with external auditors.
- Assist with operational controlling — budget planning, financial forecasting, and liquidity tracking.
- Help build monthly reporting, support ad hoc deep dives, and turn data into clear analysis that informs decisions.
- Spot and help implement opportunities to automate manual finance workflows using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations.
- Help coordinate with tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers, and work alongside teams across the org such as Growth and Engineering.
What you'll need
- Currently studying, on a gap year, or recently graduated in business, finance, economics, or a related field, ideally at a strong university.
- Strong analytical mindset and solid Excel skills.
- A strong interest in AI tools and how they can automate and improve the way work gets done.
- A foundational understanding of accounting principles; familiarity with German accounting practices or IFRS is a plus.
- Strong German and English skills, written and spoken.
- Proactive, self-driven, and pragmatic with an eagerness to learn and take ownership of your work.
Nice to have
- Any prior internship or coursework in finance, accounting, controlling, or consulting.
