Your role in the team

  • You don't just report numbers - you question them. You dig into large financial datasets, surface what doesn't add up, and translate raw ERP data into clear, actionable insights. If you're energized by process gaps, reconciliation puzzles, and the satisfaction of clean, reliable data, this role was built for you.
  • Systematically analyze, validate and reconcile large volumes of booking data to identify inconsistencies, outliers, and process gaps.
  • Detect system-side inconsistencies through structured analytical routines.
  • Develop and maintain automated control mechanisms to ensure ongoing data quality.
  • Perform large-scale reconciliations across ERP, BI tools, and other systems.
  • Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities through data-driven checks.
  • Handle ad-hoc analyses for unexplained booking discrepancies or system anomalies.
  • Support the Accounting team in developing reporting solutions - both systematic and ad-hoc.
  • Design and implement (semi-)automated validation scripts and control routines to reduce manual effort.
  • Contribute to identification of process gaps and development of improvement proposals.
  • Unterstützung bei der Implementierung von ERP-Änderungen aus Sicht der Datenqualität.
