Position Overview
As Group Accountant, you independently account for business transactions (recognition, measurement, booking) and help prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements under HGB and IFRS. You are the contact for internal and external auditors and group companies on closing, accounting and IFRS questions, including on-site visits.
