Finance Manager Group Consolidation & Reporting

About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE This role leads group consolidation and financial reporting for a multi-entity structure, sitting within a lean Finance team and reporting directly to the Head of Finance. You will own end-to-end consolidation workflows and play a central part in producing accurate, timely group financial statements as the business scales. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design and continuously improve consolidation processes, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations, and capital consolidation in LucaNet, with a focus on scalability.

- Consolidate individual financial statements from group entities and contribute to the preparation of full and partial consolidated financial statements, including plausibility checks and financial analysis. - Support group reporting at both standalone and consolidated levels, creating and commenting on budget-versus-actual analyses and examining complex balance sheet and P&L structures. - Advise group companies on harmonising accounting and tax treatments across the organisation.

- Continuously refine and optimise consolidation and reporting processes to drive operational excellence. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3 or more years of hands-on experience in group accounting and consolidation across multiple entities, covering intercompany reconciliations, interim result eliminations, capital consolidation, and debt consolidation. - Experience preparing and reviewing full or partial consolidated financial statements, including plausibility checks and variance analysis.

- Proficiency with LucaNet or a comparable consolidation platform used in a live consolidation context. - Degree in business administration, accounting, or finance with a focus on HGB and/or IFRS, or an equivalent professional qualification. - A background that spans both accounting/controlling and group consolidation rather than a single discipline. - Experience in a fast-growing or scale-up environment, or a background from an audit or advisory practice, is a strong plus.

- Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics ERP and/or DATEV is advantageous. - Fluent German at C1 level or above (written and spoken) and business-fluent English at C1 level or above. - Structured, analytical, and comfortable working independently in a dynamic setting. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS The annual salary range for this role is EUR 55,000 to EUR 80,000, depending on experience. LOCATION This is a fully on-site position based in Munich, Germany.
