About the Role
About the Role
As Senior Accountant, you take on the technical and organizational lead of the accounting function and act as the central interface between Accounting, Controlling and external partners. You work hands-on across all areas of accounting, drive process optimization, and actively apply your technical expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Strategic Core Expectation
In addition to operational responsibility, this role works directly with the CFO and serves as a sparring partner in financial strategy topics, especially related to accounting optimization and continuous improvement. We are therefore looking for someone with a strong managerial mindset — proactive, execution-oriented and confident in getting things done — rather than a reserved senior accountant profile focused only on transactional activities.
