Key Responsibilities — Ihre Aufgaben
Selbstständige Buchführung der Tochtergesellschaften
- Independently and self-responsibly book all accounting transactions for assigned Limbach Gruppe subsidiary companies — managing the full bookkeeping scope for each assigned subsidiary including Kreditorenbuchhaltung (supplier invoice processing, payment run preparation, supplier account reconciliation), Debitorenbuchhaltung (customer invoice processing, payment allocation, dunning management), Sachkontenbuchhaltung (general ledger postings, accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reclassifications), Anlagevermögen (fixed asset additions, disposals, depreciation runs, year-end asset verification), and Zahlungsverkehr (payment file preparation, bank statement import and allocation), maintaining the bookkeeping accuracy and timeliness standards that HGB Abschluss preparation requires
- Prepare and timely submit Umsatzsteuervoranmeldungen (USt-VA) and Zusammenfassende Meldungen (ZM) for assigned subsidiary companies — applying current German Umsatzsteuerrecht knowledge to correctly classify each transaction’s VAT treatment, accurately calculate Vorsteuer and Umsatzsteuer balances, prepare the monthly or quarterly USt-VA in DATEV or SAP, and submit within the applicable statutory deadlines to the Finanzamt, including the accurate preparation of ZM for intra-EU supplies of goods and services subject to European cross-border VAT reporting requirements
- Maintain Anlagevermögen (fixed asset accounting) for assigned subsidiaries — processing all fixed asset movements (Zugänge, Abgänge, Umbuchungen, Abschreibungskorrekturen) in the fixed asset subledger, reconciling fixed asset totals to the general ledger, conducting annual fixed asset physical inventory verification, and producing the fixed asset schedules required for HGB Jahresabschluss disclosure
HGB Monats-, Quartals- und Jahresabschlüsse
- Independently prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements (Monats-, Quartals- und Jahresabschlüsse) for assigned subsidiary companies in accordance with HGB — applying comprehensive HGB accounting knowledge to execute all period-end closing procedures including accruals (Abgrenzungen), provisions (Rückstellungen) calculation and review, deferred tax assessment, revenue recognition verification, inventory valuation confirmation, and the complete set of HGB balance sheet and profit-and-loss account preparation steps that produce accurate, compliant, and auditor-ready financial statements within the group reporting deadlines that the monthly consolidation process requires
- Perform Intercompany reconciliation (Intercompany-Abstimmung) and balance reconciliation (Saldenabstimmung) within the Group context in preparation for consolidation — systematically matching and clearing all intercompany balances, transactions, and unrealized profits between Limbach Gruppe subsidiary companies prior to the Group consolidation process, identifying and resolving Intercompany discrepancies with counterpart accounting teams efficiently to meet consolidation deadlines, and ensuring that the consolidated Group financial statements are free of Intercompany elimination errors that create consolidation complications and audit queries
- Work closely with Group Accounting (Konzernrechnungslegung) and Controlling on monthly reporting — providing the accurately closed subsidiary financial data, variance explanations, and accounting input that the Group’s monthly reporting process requires, attending and actively contributing to monthly reporting review meetings, and proactively communicating accounting issues, unusual transactions, or estimate uncertainties that the Controlling team needs to understand for accurate management reporting
Digitalisierung, Integrationsprojekte & Stakeholder-Kommunikation
- Actively contribute to the organization and further optimization of the largely already-digitized bookkeeping processes — applying accounting process knowledge and practical digitalization experience to identify specific automation opportunities, workflow improvements, and system configuration enhancements in DATEV or SAP that reduce manual bookkeeping effort, improve data quality, and increase process reliability within the Group’s finance function, participating constructively in process improvement projects alongside colleagues from IT, finance, and operations
- Accompany integration projects for newly acquired companies — contributing the bookkeeping, accounting standards, and system integration expertise that is needed to successfully bring newly acquired Limbach Gruppe subsidiaries into the Group’s accounting framework, helping to establish the chart of accounts mapping, intercompany account structures, reporting templates, and bookkeeping procedures that each new acquisition requires to operate within the Group’s accounting and reporting standards from day one
- Serve as the first point of contact and competent reference for internal departments, Betriebsprüfer, Wirtschaftsprüfer, and Steuerberater — managing enquiries from other business units on accounting matters with the combination of technical accounting competence and service-oriented communication that builds confidence in the finance function’s quality and reliability, and preparing the documentation, reconciliations, and explanations that external auditors, tax auditors, and tax advisors require with the accuracy and completeness that minimizes audit duration and audit adjustment risk

- Multiple years of practical bookkeeping experience with demonstrated independent HGB Abschluss preparation — verifiable through employment references and a professional track record that shows real Jahresabschluss production responsibility rather than only supporting roles
- Very good DATEV or SAP knowledge — production-level proficiency in at least one of these platforms for all bookkeeping, financial statement, and VAT reporting functions | Very good MS Office knowledge, particularly Excel and Word
