Company mission
To be the operational brain of your D2C company, so that you can focus on other aspects of your business.
Role
Who you are
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- 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)
- 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
Our take
Streamlining commerce operations requires the participation of various departments, which can complicate the purchase-to-delivery cycle and lead to delays. Hive’s platform helps to streamline commerce operations through a network of operations providers.
Hive’s Warehouse Management System works in tandem with its Transport Management System to organise and economise the operations of eCommerce businesses. Importantly, its network of solutions means that users can give their customers an accurate delivery date from the moment of purchase online. This leads to a better experience that can help foster loyalty and support repeat purchases.
This is an attractive proposition, especially as eCommerce begins to take over from the high street and consumer expectations continue to rise. Investors have recognised this potential in Hive, which intends to use its latest funding round to accelerate growth and product development, with the ultimate aim to reach consistent profitability soon.
