We are looking for a Financial Accountant for our dynamic team in the heart of buzzing Berlin!

The accounting team currently consists of 15 people, including 4 people in the accounts payables team for which we look for support now! The team in Berlin takes care of the financial accounting for the entire Babbel Group. Since many HGB-relevant technical terms are important in accounting, the Accounting team communicates fully in German. However, with colleagues from the other departments of the company, communication is in English, as this is Babbel's corporate language.

You are:

• Self-confident using an ERP system (Workday or others)
• Self-assured using HGB accounting frameworks (e. g. SKR 04)
• Well-experienced in dealing with MS Excel

You have:

• A successfully completed commercial education. A degree as an accountant (“Finanzbuchhalter/in”) or “Steuerfachangestellte/r” is a plus
• Work experience of 2+ years in a financial accounting role (HGB)
• Basic skills of German and EU VAT law - especially about invoice requirements.
• A high level of accuracy and attention to details
• A self-reliant and well structured working method when it comes to delivering results timely
• Business fluent in German and English at least B1 level (spoken and written)

You will:

• You perform invoice verifications and collect approvals through our electronic approval workflow system
• You record invoices for all entities of the Babbel group in our ERP system
• You coordinate open items and prepare payment runs for the invoices due
• You clarify and manage open items in the vendor accounts
• You are jointly responsible for the preparation of timely and accurate monthly financial statements

• Enjoy 30 vacation days and the chance to take a 3-month Sabbatical. Plus family and life situation counseling.
• Decide how, when and from where you want to work with our flexible working hours and remote friendly options as Jobbatical (up to 3 months inside the EU and the UK) or work from our fully equipped office with nap, faith and family rooms.
• Learn and grow with the internal learning opportunities, and use a yearly learning & development budget for external training. Learn languages with Babbel for free with your full access to Babbel.
• Take advantage of your mobility benefits options and a discounted Urban Sports Club membership.
• Be part of our employee communities (such as FLINTA in Tech, DE&I Ambassadors and LGBTQIA group), attend cultural and regular social events.
