Visiting Finance Analyst - #2675930

About The Role

This is a hands-on finance role sitting within the Finance team of a fast-growing Series A/B EdTech startup. You'll work directly alongside senior leadership to help build a modern, AI-enhanced finance function from the ground up — with real ownership from day one.

What You'll Do

• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes and coordinate with external auditors.
• Contribute to accurate financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
• Assist with operational controlling, including budget planning, forecasting, and liquidity tracking.
• Build monthly reports, run ad hoc deep dives, and translate data into clear, decision-ready analysis.
• Identify and implement automation opportunities using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations.
• Prepare decision briefs and support cross-functional initiatives across teams such as Growth and Engineering.
• Coordinate with external tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a degree in business, finance, economics, or a related field.
• Professional working proficiency in both German and English, written and spoken.
• Foundational knowledge of accounting principles, with familiarity with German accounting standards (HGB) or IFRS as a plus.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to turn messy data into clear, actionable insights.
• Prior experience supporting close processes, budgeting, forecasting, or audit coordination — through internships, coursework, or projects.
• Genuine interest in AI and automation; experience with BI tools or low-code platforms is a bonus.
• Proactive, self-driven, and comfortable working closely with leadership in a fast-paced environment.
• Background in or exposure to high-growth startups or tech companies is a plus.
