Group Senior Accountant (m/f/d)

Your Next Big Adventure Starts Here!

As a Group Senior Accountant you have the knowledge and skills to lead group accounting activities in accordance with German GAAP and IFRS, including preparation of consolidated financial statements and reports, ensure compliance with local tax regulations with a solid understanding of German tax requirements, and implement and manage accounting systems, and you want to drive real value with them:

• Have you ever led group accounting across multiple jurisdictions while overseeing consolidation under German GAAP and IFRS and managing system migrations such as LucaNet to NetSuite? Join us and dive into the specific challenges that this brings.
• You deliver across group accounting, consolidation, and system implementation. Whether it is overseeing LucaNet and NetSuite operations, implementing Multi-Book and OneWorld in NetSuite, taking ownership of the planned migration of group consolidation from LucaNet to NetSuite, or preparing consolidated financial statements and reports, you feel comfortable solving the puzzle. And if you don’t know how, you are happy to dive right in and learn!
• You design and build scalable and high-impact accounting systems and processes. Your mind naturally maps out how different components connect, and you find satisfaction in delving into the intricacies of system setup, mapping, chart of accounts optimization (with ownership), and process optimization to fine-tune them for accuracy, compliance, and scalability.
• Your curiosity is boundless, and you genuinely love untangling complex problems. You know how to leverage data and analytics to understand financial performance, reporting integrity, and financial planning and analysis. You'll use insights to identify bottlenecks, optimize processes, and ensure robust financial controls across the group.

You bring others on the journey with you:

• You are a master of written communication, producing consolidated financial statements, reports, technical accounting analysis under German GAAP and IFRS, and documenting processes and system mappings with clarity and precision.
• With thorough knowledge of German GAAP and a solid understanding of German tax, combined with fundamental knowledge of NetSuite and basic knowledge of LucaNet for consolidation and migration projects, you have the expertise to lead projects spanning system setup, process mapping, and group consolidation.
• Your judgement and empathy (for both users and peers) ensure that everyone wants to join your projects, while your strong analytical skills and attention to detail allow you to guide complex initiatives with confidence.
• You bring long experience working in tech companies and startups, and at least 7 years of proven experience leading projects.
• You can influence cross-functional teams and work closely with local Senior Accountants to support accounting activities as part of monthly, quarterly, and annual closes, breaking initiatives down into clear roadmaps that systematically deliver value and mitigate risk.
• Your excellent communication skills in English and German, along with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, mean you can drive initiatives independently while bringing others along with you.

About eyeo

Building a Safer, Better Internet

Our mission is to make the 99% safe online.

Today, we are the world’s largest ad-blocking company. As such, we protect the sanity of hundreds of millions of people, mostly on desktop, by blocking nuisance elements online.

Guided by our leadership team’s vision, we’ve made it our mission to build the world’s largest cybersecurity company — one that protects more than a billion people. We’re expanding our protection across the five personal safes: safe sanity, safe privacy, safe hardware, safe money, and safe children (with fine-grained parental controls). Our goal is to protect every device, at all times — creating the personal firewall to rule all firewalls.

We believe that we can do this because we can sustainably monetize bringing safety to the 99% online.

Searching for Re-Founders

Borrowing a term from Reid Hoffman, we are “re-founding” eyeo. For a long time, life at eyeo was very predictable. Today, it is not. We are trying to do things that we have never done before, and our aspirations are sky high.

This means that we are not looking for tell-me-what-to-do employees. We are not looking for people who will happily accept being cogs in a machine. We are looking for leaders. We are looking for “re-founders”. We are looking for people who—through clarity of thought and tenacious force of will—can cut through the chaos and pull us to new heights.

Largely Remote, but Need Not Be

We have over 160 colleagues across the world. We work largely in remote teams spanning EST, BST and CET time zones. If working remotely isn’t for you, we also have our HQ in Berlin, and we have offices in Cologne and Toronto.

Equal Opportunity Statement 

At eyeo, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every employee is empowered to thrive. We believe that the diversity of our backgrounds and experiences enhances our products and services, and we take pride in being a safe space for everyone. 

All qualified applicants will receive equal consideration for employment, regardless of race, color, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, physical ability, or duration of unemployment. We celebrate diversity and are dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.
