Financial Accountant (m/f/d)

Construction projects at our sites, investments in production and operating equipment, plus day-to-day business: each case has to be assessed and documented, and the supporting evidence comes from a wide range of departments. The second focus of your work is VAT, covering preliminary VAT returns, EC Sales Lists, and the particularities of our VAT group. Going forward, we want fixed asset accounting involved in upcoming projects from the very start, so that accounting questions are considered early on. You bring that perspective into the projects and continue to develop the processes behind them.
For our Finance and Accounting department at our Bad Oldesloe site, we are looking for someone to join us as soon as possible, on a permanent basis, part-time (25 to 30 hours per week), as a 

Financial Accountant (m/f/d).

• Ownership of fixed asset accounting, including low-value assets, from assessing whether costs qualify for capitalization through to depreciation.
• Accounting support for construction and investment projects as well as for tooling located at suppliers' sites, including obtaining and following up on the required documentation from the relevant departments.
• Preparation of preliminary VAT returns and EC Sales Lists, including the particularities of our VAT group.
• Reclaiming foreign VAT, including the related correspondence in English.
• Support with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
• Contribution to finance projects, in particular the optimization of our VAT and fixed asset accounting processes.

• Completed commercial vocational training, preferably with additional certification as a Bilanzbuchhalter, Steuerfachwirt, or Steuerfachangestellter (m/f/d).
• Several years of professional experience in financial accounting, particularly in complex fixed asset accounting, ideally in an industrial environment.
• Solid SAP FI skills and confident use of MS Office. You enjoy questioning established routines. Experience in process optimization or with S/4HANA is a plus.
• German at C1 level and English at B2 level, both written and spoken.
• You stay on top of things when input from other departments is slow to arrive, and you bring your topics to a close with persistence and the right amount of tact.
• You keep an eye on where support is needed within the team. You work hand in hand with your colleagues and look for solutions everyone can support through direct conversation.
