Role Description

As a Senior General Ledger Accountant at Camunda, you will own the close and reporting for our German parent entity, including HGB statutory financial statements, and take responsibility for additional entities (for example Singapore). You will:

• Own month-end close for the German and one additional entity end to end, including complex journal entries, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets accounting, balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis.
• Prepare the HGB statutory financial statements for the German entity, including providing inputs for the notes (Anhang), maintaining supporting schedules such as the asset register, and ensuring the HGB package is complete, consistent, and audit-ready.
• Support both IFRS and local statutory audits by preparing audit request documentation, providing clear, complete evidence, participating in walkthroughs, and resolving auditor questions.
• Run the group close cadence by maintaining the close calendar, improving checklists and guardrails, and keeping dependencies and handoffs clear across entities.
• Act as an escalation point for complex GL topics and non-standard transactions, partnering with stakeholders to resolve issues and documenting accounting conclusions in a way others can reuse.
• Strengthen controls and documentation by improving reconciliations, close narratives, and accounting procedures so the team can move faster without losing accuracy.
• Own accounting-related administration for key tools in your scope, including permissions, workflows, and first-line issue resolution.
• Partner across teams to simplify processes and reduce recurring friction, including testing improvements, supporting automations, and keeping procedures easy to follow in a remote setup.

• Professional fluency in German and English (written and spoken).
• Practical experience preparing IFRS reporting packages and supporting IFRS audit requests, with a strong control mindset and audit readiness.
• Strong systems proficiency: daily ERP work (NetSuite preferred) and close tooling (FloQast preferred).

Requirements

• Prior experience with Zip administration or other procurement and spend tools, including workflow troubleshooting and stakeholder support.
• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency accounting in a high-growth or international environment, including intercompany topics.
• Experience working in or with European entities and their local compliance requirements.
• A track record of process improvement or automation projects in Accounting.
