Total Compensation Range: €69,380 – €89,760 THE POSITION If you're excited about working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and passionate about Finance, this opportunity is for you! We're looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Accounting & Reporting Manager to join our Finance team in Berlin. You'll take ownership of the group's most complex accounting topics: with a strong focus on monthly reporting, group consolidation,  year-end procedures and audit readiness across our multi-entity European structure, while keeping the bigger picture in view at all times. Your mission: You'll be the go-to expert and sparring partner for demanding accounting and reporting topics, helping us maintain the highest standards in financial accuracy, compliance, and transparency across all entities. With your structured mindset and hands-on approach, you'll own complex processes end-to-end and contribute to a Finance team that runs its processes smoothly and efficiently. In this role, you will: * Take full ownership of the group consolidation process in Lucanet: eliminating intercompany differences, managing eliminations, and ensuring our consolidated financial data is consistent and audit-ready across all entities at all times. * Handle intercompany accounting end-to-end: including reconciliation and clear documentation of intercompany flows across the group's European entities. * Prepare and review complex accrual calculations, provisions and cost accruals, ensuring completeness and accuracy. * Drive AP & AR clean-up projects, identifying aged items, mispostings, and open reonciling items, and working cross-functionally to resolve them. * Support transfer pricing, preparing transfer pricing documentation in collaboration with our external tax advisors. * Be the sparring partner for our external auditors, handling audit queries and coordinating documentation. * Support the monthly reporting cycle by reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, and intercompany positions: catching issues early and ensuring consistency across the group. * Contribute to the preparation of standalone and consolidated financial statements in accordance with German GAAP (HGB). Of course, you will also: * Collaborate with the Finance team to support a smooth and efficient year-end closing process. * Continuously look for ways to improve and automate consolidation, reporting, and documentation workflows. * Contribute to cross-functional initiatives that elevate the quality and scalability of our Finance operations. * Closely collaborate with Billing and FP&A functions to ensure clean and accurate financial data, forming a strong basis for reliable reporting and audit readiness. YOUR PROFILE We know, sometimes, you can't tick every box. We would still love to hear from you if you think you're a good fit! * Experienced & Reliable: You bring 3-4 years of experience in (group) accounting, financial reporting, or audit. Experience at a Big 4 firm is a strong plus. * Expert in Group Accounting & Consolidation: You have solid, hands-on knowledge of HGB (German GAAP), group consolidation, month end close. You're comfortable owning these processes end-to-end in a multi-entity environment. * Detail-Oriented, and Big-Picture Aware: You take pride in getting the details right, but you also understand how individual accounting tasks connect to the broader financial reporting landscape. You use that perspective to prioritise, flag risks early, and add value beyond the immediate task. * Reviewing Mindset: You enjoy working through financial data and outputs with a critical, structured eye: identifying gaps and inconsistencies in a constructive, collaborative way. * Tool-Savvy: You've worked with tools like Lucanet and DATEV and feel confident navigating finance systems to streamline your work. * Communicator & Sparring Partner: You're proactive and confident working with colleagues, external auditors, and tax advisors, and you enjoy being a thought partner, not just an executor. * Language Skills: You're fluent in English and comfortable using it in meetings, reporting, and documentation. German is a strong plus. * Education & Mindset: You hold a degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field and are motivated to grow in a dynamic, international environment. OUR OFFERING * Build something that matters: Hive is redefining commerce operations in a €200B+ market. We already reach tens of millions of consumers a year and power 600+ independent brands, and we're just getting started. * Work with exceptional people: a high-performing, ambitious team, many from McKinsey, Amazon, Shopify, Google, TikTok, and Trade Republic. * Grow with Hive: own impactful projects from day one and grow as we scale. We're a meritocracy: your impact drives your progression, not your past titles. * Time to recharge: 30 vacation days a year, plus a paid 20-day sabbatical every three years. * Competitive compensation: market-competitive salary and an equity incentive plan (EIP) for all full-time team members. * Your setup, your choice: a MacBook (or laptop of your choice) plus accessories like an extra monitor or headphones, and a €46/month productivity budget to spend how you work best (from month 4; €23 for interns and working students from month 3). * Food and fitness: free lunch once per week at the Berlin office + daily 50% subsidy on lunch by ChefCoco, free drinks and snacks, and a €20/month Urban Sports Club subsidy for full-time team members. * Flexibility and connection: flexible working hours, internal training led by Hive experts, regular team events (€30/person/month budget), and company-wide multi-day offsites that bring all of Hive together * Extras: partner discounts on Raus stays, gym platforms, and a corporate benefits portal.
