YOUR CHALLENGE

As our Senior Accountant, Operational Finance, you'll be at the core of how Taxfix keeps its financial engine running accurately and at pace — and you'll help shape what that engine looks like next. This is a broad, hands-on accounting role that spans revenue booking and reconciliation, payment operations, collections partner governance, and month-end close across two entities and multiple markets.

You'll work closely with our existing Revenue & Close Lead, acting as a strong day-to-day partner and backup across shared processes, while owning your own domains end-to-end. You'll bring accounting rigour to everything you touch — clean audit trails, solid controls, and close-ready documentation — while actively contributing to the team's automation agenda using AI tooling and workflow design. We're an AI-first team, and we mean it — you'll have real space to explore, build, and implement. Reporting to our Senior Manager, Finance Platforms and Transformation, you'll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Customer Success, Legal, and Data to keep our operational finance function scalable, reliable, and genuinely future-proof.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Book and reconcile revenue monthly across entities, ensuring accuracy, correct period allocation, and audit-ready controls.

• Own payment service provider settlement reconciliation across entities — matching settlement files to the ERP, resolving discrepancies, and maintaining clean records.

• Monitor AR aging and payment failure resolution, with clear escalation paths documented and followed.

• Oversee the automated dunning flow via our billing partner — monitor performance, flag exceptions, and drive continuous improvement.

• Manage the relationship with our external debt collection agency — SLAs, KPIs, performance reviews, and handover quality.

• Own write-off inputs and bad debt reporting, ensuring recommendations are accurate, timely, and well-supported.

• Deliver all owned close inputs on time every month and resolve reconciliation breaks between the billing platform, payment service provider, and ERP within agreed SLAs.

• Actively identify manual and error-prone processes and build solutions — workflows, exception monitoring, runbooks, and SOPs.

• Contribute to AI-driven initiatives in Finance Operations — exploring and implementing tools and agents that automate or enhance operational workflows.

• Act as a strong day-to-day partner and backup to the Revenue & Close Lead, and maintain structured relationships with external partners and internal teams including Product, CS, Legal, and Data.

YOUR PROFILE

• Solid accounting background with hands-on experience in revenue booking, reconciliation, and month-end close — you understand debits, credits, and why controls matter.

• 4–6 years of experience in operational finance, accounting, or AR in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.

• Direct experience with a payment service provider, billing platform, and ERP in an operational finance context — NetSuite experience strongly preferred.

• Strong working knowledge of IFRS; familiarity with HGB is a plus.

• Experience managing external partners against SLAs and KPIs — you can hold a vendor accountable and run a structured performance review.

• Able to independently build and maintain operational reports using SQL and a BI tool such as Looker.

• Genuinely excited about AI and its potential in finance — whether already experimenting with tools, automation, or agent building, or actively learning and bringing that curiosity to work every day.

• Natural documenter — audit trails, SOPs, and runbooks come instinctively; you leave things cleaner than you found them.

• Thrives in a flat, collaborative environment — doesn't need hierarchy to know when to lead, and naturally supports the people around them.

• Communicates clearly in English; German is a plus.
