Senior Accountant – Finance Operations (m/f/d)

About this role

About us EggAI is a fast-growing, 100% remote AI consulting and development startup based in Munich. We build agentic AI solutions for enterprise clients. We are growing in several European markets at the same time, are actively building our internal structures — and are looking for someone to help shape this growth phase. Your role You are our go-to person for day-to-day accounting. You make sure every receipt, invoice and expense ends up in the right place — cost center, account, country — and you prepare everything so that our external tax advisor can book without back-and-forth.

You work across several European countries, with employees and freelancers, and with local payroll providers. We don’t have fully established processes yet, so you won’t just follow a playbook: you spot gaps, think the process through and set it up yourself. You work closely with our Head of Finance, who owns controlling, forecasting and reporting, and with our external tax advisor, who handles ongoing bookkeeping, annual financial statements and German payroll.

You ideally bring your own experience from a tax advisory firm or a similar environment. Your responsibilities ● Preparatory bookkeeping: Pre-code receipts and prepare them for ongoing bookkeeping by our tax advisor ● Receipt and invoice management: Collect receipts and incoming invoices, review them, and consistently follow up on open items ● Correct allocation: Make sure expenses are assigned to the correct cost center and the correct account in the chart of accounts ● Travel expenses across Europe: Manage per diems (meal allowances), mileage allowances and comparable expense rules across countries for our teams in Europe ● Employees & freelancers across Europe: Know the Europe-wide controlling and accounting topics that apply to employees and freelancers — or get up to speed on them quickly ● International payroll interface: Manage local payroll providers and salary payments ● Cash flow: Think along on cash flow structures & reporting, and keep them up to date ● Process setup: Independently think through and set up finance processes and structures in an international, growing environment What you bring Must have ● 4+ years of professional experience in finance & accounting ● German at a fluent professional level (C1/C2), including German accounting and tax terminology; English at least B1, as our team is diverse and English is often the working language ● Very good DATEV skills and solid understanding of the chart of accounts and correct account assignment ● Flexibility with tools: you quickly find your way around other systems such as Odoo ● You have owned finance and accounting topics end-to-end, without day-to-day guidance ● You are comfortable in gray areas and make good decisions even without complete information Nice to have ● Completed commercial vocational training or a degree with a focus on finance, accounting or controlling ● Understanding of how a balance sheet should be structured to be meaningful for investors — ideally through your own experience in a tax advisory firm or similar environment ● Exposure to controlling topics such as cost centers, forecasts or project margins ● Motivated, proactive and creative personality with a hands-on mentality — you want to shape things, not just administer them Why EggAI? ● 100% remote work in an international, highly motivated team ● Flat structures and direct access to the Head of Finance and the founders — short paths, fast decisions ● Freedom to shape: you help build the finance infrastructure of an AI scale-up from the ground up ● Insight into one of the most dynamic growth fields in tech and into building a company across Europe Sounds like you?
