terralayr

WHO WE ARE - OUR MISSION terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage. The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match. By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms. WHAT WE ARE HIRING FOR - YOUR ROLE We are looking for an Accountant (m/f/d) to join our Finance team. In this role, you will take ownership of core accounting operations – from invoice processing to bank reconciliation – and play a key part in keeping our monthly and annual close on track.

Ideally some of that time was spent in a tax advisor's office  * Education: Completed vocational training as Steuerfachangestellter (tax clerk) is a plus * Language: Minimum C1-level German and strong written and verbal English are both required * Accounting knowledge: Solid knowledge of HGB (German GAAP); IFRS knowledge is a plus * Tools: Proficiency in DATEV, Excel, and other relevant accounting tools WHY YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY * Our purpose: Join us in building up an asset fleet that has the potential to make a positive impact on society and our planet by addressing the massive deficit in global energy storage. * Focus on innovation: Building our asset fleet following our technology agnostic approach means you will have the opportunity to work with the highest industry standard equipment. * Impact: Your contribution will not only have a positive impact on society; by joining our small and nimble team, your work will make a difference from day one. * Personal development: You will benefit from a learning & development budget of 1,000 EUR per calendar year that you can use for your individual professional development.
