Junior Accountant, Accounts Payable

As Junior Accountant (Accounts Payable), you will keep vendors paid correctly and on time across German and US entities, building a solid foundation in end-to-end Procure-to-Pay. This is your opportunity to own AP for a fast-growing, multi-entity company and build real expertise in German VAT, invoice compliance, and vendor operations from day one.

What you'll do

• Review incoming vendor invoices, code them to the right GL account and cost center, apply German VAT treatment, and match them to purchase orders.
• Review employee expense reports, travel bookings, and corporate card transactions for correct coding, documentation, and policy compliance.
• Support vendor onboarding, check for duplicates before creating a new vendor, and handle setup and changes of vendor bank details.
• Prepare payment runs, resolve payment queries, and reconcile vendor and AP accounts by matching payments to invoices and clearing open items.
• Support AP close activities, including reviewing the AP subledger and aging, clearing the intake queue to cut-off, and preparing account reconciliations.

What you'll need

• 2+ years of hands-on Accounts Payable experience, where you've processed and coded incoming invoices yourself.
• A German apprenticeship such as Steuerfachangestellte, or a business administration degree with a finance or accounting focus.
• Fluent (C1+) in German and English, comfortable reviewing German invoices and handling vendor correspondence in German.
• Working understanding of German VAT on incoming invoices.
• Careful with detail at volume: you handle a high transaction count without losing your eye for detail and notice when something doesn't add up.

Nice to have

• Experience with NetSuite, Airbase, or a comparable P2P system.
• Exposure to a multi-entity environment.
• Experience with purchase order matching and vendor master data cleanup.
