Why This Annual Statement Accountant Role at THOMAS SABO Stands Out
International Lifestyle Brand — Dynamisches Umfeld: Apply finance and accounting expertise in a genuine international lifestyle and fashion context — where the accounting reflects not just numbers but the commercial dynamics of a brand selling jewellery, watches, and accessories in markets across the world, with all the FX, intercompany, and international tax complexity that global brand operations generate
Full Accounting Scope — HGB, Steuern & Konsolidierung: Bilanzierung nach HGB, national and international Umsatzsteuer, monthly/quarterly/annual financial statements, Intercompany-Abstimmung, and Konsolidierung — a genuinely comprehensive accounting role in a single position at a dynamic Mittelstand international brand headquartered in Bavaria
Prozessoptimierung & Gestaltungsspielraum: The invitation to contribute your own ideas for the further development and optimisation of accounting processes — a genuine creative contribution opportunity in a finance function that is actively looking to improve its processes, not just maintain the status quo
Flexible Gleitzeitregelung & Mobile Arbeiten: Flexible working hours through Gleitzeitregelung with mobile working option — alongside a subsidised canteen, company fitness studio, and a team-oriented culture in a medium-sized company with fast decision-making and a personal working atmosphere
Position Overview — Annual Statement Accountant (m/w/d), THOMAS SABO Lauf an der Pegnitz
This Annual Statement Accountant (m/w/d) at THOMAS SABO’s Headoffice in Lauf an der Pegnitz analyses and clarifies balance sheet matters under HGB and tax law — assesses and processes VAT questions in national and international business contexts — contributes to the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements — supports group-wide consolidation and Intercompany-Abstimmung — participates in tax, balance sheet, and accounting-related projects — contributes ideas for process improvement in the accounting function — acts as internal specialist contact for colleagues across different business areas — and collaborates and exchanges expertise with external tax advisors and auditors — in an innovative international lifestyle brand’s Headoffice accounting team.
Why This Role Matters: As Annual Statement Accountant at THOMAS SABO in Lauf an der Pegnitz, the accounting work you produce is the financial foundation on which one of Germany’s most recognisable international jewellery and lifestyle brands reports its commercial performance, manages its tax position, and demonstrates its financial integrity to auditors, tax authorities, and group management. When your HGB bilanzielle Analyse correctly identifies that a supplier advance payment requires specific balance sheet treatment that differs from how it has been booked in the prior period, your international Umsatzsteuer assessment correctly classifies a complex cross-border service transaction for a THOMAS SABO market in a jurisdiction with different VAT recovery rules, or your process improvement initiative reduces the monthly close cycle by three days because the reconciliation step you redesigned eliminates three rounds of manual data transfer that no one had questioned for five years — you are not processing accounting entries. You are maintaining the financial reporting precision that a dynamic international lifestyle company needs to operate confidently and compliantly in markets across the world. That is the professional consequence and genuine commercial contribution of a well-executed Annual Statement Accountant role at THOMAS SABO.
Key Responsibilities — Deine Mission
Bilanzierung, HGB-Rechnungslegung & Steuerrecht
- Analyse and clarify balance sheet matters (bilanzielle Sachverhalte) under HGB and tax law — applying deep knowledge of German commercial accounting standards (HGB) and tax accounting requirements to correctly classify, measure, and present complex transactions in THOMAS SABO’s financial statements, with the analytical precision and accounting judgment that the brand’s international business activities require
- Assess and process VAT questions (umsatzsteuerliche Fragestellungen) in national and international business contexts — evaluating the VAT treatment of THOMAS SABO’s cross-border transactions, intercompany services, import/export activities, and international sales in the multiple jurisdictions where the brand operates, applying both German and EU VAT law knowledge with practical business acumen
- Apply knowledge of Ertragsteuern, Gewerbesteuer, and Körperschaftsteuer — supporting the comprehensive tax position of THOMAS SABO’s accounting function across both direct and indirect taxation with the awareness of relevant tax provisions and their interaction with HGB accounting that a well-rounded Rechnungswesen professional requires
Abschlüsse, Intercompany-Abstimmung & Konsolidierung
- Contribute to the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements (Monats-, Quartals- und Jahresabschlüsse) — supporting the accounting close cycle with the accuracy, timeliness, and analytical depth that THOMAS SABO’s reporting requirements and management information needs demand across both standalone and consolidated financial statements
- Support group-wide Intercompany-Abstimmung (intercompany reconciliation) — managing the reconciliation of intercompany balances and transactions across THOMAS SABO’s legal entity structure with the systematic accuracy that eliminates differences before consolidation and ensures that group financial statements are free of intercompany elimination errors

- Participate in tax, balance sheet, and accounting-related special projects (Sonderthemen) — contributing accounting, tax, and analytical expertise to project work including new reporting requirements, system implementations, tax planning initiatives, and other accounting-related projects that arise in a dynamic international lifestyle business
- Act as specialist contact (fachlicher Ansprechpartner) for colleagues from various business areas — providing clear, accessible accounting and tax guidance to non-finance colleagues at THOMAS SABO, and collaborating with external tax advisors and auditors (Steuerberater und Wirtschaftsprüfer) with the professional credibility and subject matter depth that external expert relationships require

- Proficient use of MS Office, particularly Excel — and ideally SAP knowledge — for financial analysis, reporting, and accounting system interaction
