About the role
We're looking for a Financial Accountant who's far more than a transactional operator: someone with strong accounting fundamentals and a genuine passion for automation, clean processes, and turning data into actionable insights.
Energy Robotics is scaling fast — Series A closed, blue-chip customers across the energy and industrial sectors, and a finance function that needs to keep pace.
You'll be the operational core of our finance function, working directly with our VP Finance and partnering with Operations, Go-to-Market, and Engineering. If you love environments where you can build, improve, and own — not just execute — you'll thrive here.
This role is available part-time or full-time, with a minimum of 30 hours per week.
Your tasks
* Own accounts payable and receivable end-to-end: invoice verification, posting, payment runs, and reconciliation and drive the implementation of automation tools to streamline workflows
* Maintain accurate general ledger records and lead monthly and annual closing procedures (HGB), coordinating closely with our tax advisor
* Support cost center accounting and contribute to management reporting that gives leadership real commercial visibility
* Identify and drive automation opportunities across the finance stack — you'll have both the mandate and the tools to make it happen
* Manage and continuously improve our finance tech stack (currently DATEV, with ambition to evolve)
* Document, refine and strengthen internal control processes as we scale
* Provide clean, timely financial data to support commercial decision making — ARR movements, deferred revenue, cost analysis
* Oversee contract management including documentation, renewal tracking and compliance
* Manage supplier relationships including onboarding, master data, SLA and pricing oversight
* Own the fixed asset lifecycle, including capitalization and documentation
Your profile
* Several years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally in a B2B SaaS or high-growth tech environment
* Solid HGB knowledge and confident working within German accounting standards
* Proficient in DATEV and confident across digital finance tools — you're not just a user, you're someone who thinks about how the tools should work together
* A systems thinker who identifies process inefficiencies and fixes them rather than working around them
* Commercially curious - you care why the numbers look the way they do, not just that they balance
* A self-starter who's comfortable with ambiguity and takes ownership
* Genuinely passionate about automation, scalability and removing manual work from finance
* Business fluent in German with solid working English skills
Helpful additional qualifications
* Experience with Spendesk, Payhawk, or similar spend management tools
* Familiarity with SaaS revenue recognition concepts (deferred revenue, ARR, NRR)
* Exposure to ERP selection or implementation in a scaling business
* Experience working cross-functionally in a product or engineering-led company
