Senior Accountant / Financial Controller (m/f/d) – HGB & IFRS

Permanent employment / Full-time / Erfurt or Leipzig, Hybrid / Start: ASAP

Do you want to do more than just prepare financial statements, but actively shape accounting processes in an international software company?

As a Senior Accountant / Financial Controller (m/f/d), you will take responsibility for our financial processes and ensure that our financial statements are reliable, transparent, and informative. You will work directly with our Director Finance & Legal and develop our processes step by step.

Cuculus develops software solutions for energy providers worldwide. An international environment with short decision-making paths, a lot of personal responsibility – and the opportunity to truly drive things forward awaits you.

• Financial Statements: You will independently prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with German GAAP (HGB) and IFRS – ensuring the quality and completeness of our financial data.
• Valuations & Accruals: You will value provisions and inventories and ensure period-accurate accruals.
• Taxes: You will prepare tax returns, manage VAT pre-declarations, and assist with tax audits.
• Account Reconciliation & Audits: You will reconcile the general and subsidiary ledgers and work closely with internal and external auditors.
• Ongoing Accounting: You will be responsible for ongoing accounting and ensure the correct recording, checking, and reconciliation of business transactions – from accounts receivable and payable to the general ledger.
• AI & Automation: You will contribute ideas on how to reduce routine work and optimize finance processes – and implement them together with the Director Finance & Legal.

• Accounting Experience: At least five years in accounting with responsibility for financial statements.
• Qualification: Certified Financial Controller (IHK), commercial apprenticeship with a focus on finance and accounting, or equivalent. Experience from a tax consultancy is a plus, but not a requirement.
• HGB & IFRS: Sound knowledge that you apply confidently in practice.
• Systems: Excel is part of your daily work. Sage 100 and Candis are a plus.
• AI Affinity: You already use AI tools in your daily work – or are eager to start.
• German & English: You communicate fluently in German with tax advisors, authorities, and auditors. English is a prerequisite with us – you work in an international environment and communicate confidently there as well.
• Personal Responsibility: You work in a structured and solution-oriented manner, set priorities independently, and maintain an overview even when multiple topics are on your plate simultaneously.
• Further Development: You don't just want to manage existing processes, but actively shape your area of responsibility.

We believe that good work requires responsibility, trust, and the necessary freedom. That's why at Cuculus, you'll have the opportunity to contribute your expertise and actively shape the further development of our finance department.

• Hybrid Working: With regular office presence (2–3 days/week in Erfurt or Leipzig)
• Flexibility: Flexible working hours & Workation option (up to 4 weeks/year)
• Mobility: 50% subsidy for the Deutschlandticket & Bike Leasing
• Security: Company pension plan & capital-forming benefits
• Culture: Short decision-making paths, open feedback culture & genuine trust
• Onboarding: To help you settle in well, you'll receive an onboarding plan and a buddy by your side.

• Impact: Meaningful work – with our software, you indirectly support energy providers worldwide in driving the transformation of the energy market.
