Senior Accountant (f/m/d)

As a Senior Accountant (f/m/d), you play a key role in aleno’s growth. You ensure that our financial processes run smoothly, promote transparency, and keep the company on track.

You serve as the financial hub connecting accounting, operations, and strategic financial management.
You’ll spend about 80% of your time on operational tasks related to accounting and day-to-day business—keeping the financial foundations running smoothly and ensuring all processes are in order.
You’ll use the remaining 20% to drive analysis, reporting, and planning—and thus actively contribute to the further development of our financial processes.

This role is ideal if you have a solid foundation in accounting and want to develop your skills in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A).

Operational:

• Independently managing the day-to-day accounting for the subsidiary based in Germany
• Coordinating accounting for the parent company based in Switzerland and at the group level
• Ensuring that all supporting documents, account assignments, and journal entries are accurate and complete
• Serving as the liaison between Finance and Customer Success on billing and payment-related matters
• Responsibility for invoicing and accounts receivable
• Collaboration with and professional guidance of a colleague in accounting
• Support in the implementation of Stripe and ensuring the correct posting of all transactions
• Monitoring and ensuring that all services are properly invoiced
• Assistance with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and coordination with external specialists

Strategic:

• Assistance with monthly banking and investor reporting
• Target-actual analyses and support with monthly performance reports
• Cost analyses and optimization of the cost structure
• Support in the annual budgeting process
• Participation in strategic financial projects

• You have several years of experience in accounting, ideally from a public accounting firm or an in-house finance role.
• You are familiar with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the tax framework in Germany (experience with DATEV is a plus).
• You have in-depth knowledge of accounting systems such as Xero or similar tools and are proficient in their use (experience in financial modeling is a plus).
• You think analytically and entrepreneurially, work with attention to detail, and act as a strong business partner for other teams.
• You enjoy thinking outside the box: you don’t just want to post entries, but also understand, optimize, and further develop processes.
• You are proactive, communicative, and eager to learn; you enjoy taking on responsibility and trying new things.
• You are fluent in German (min. C1) and have a very good command of English.

Not a must, but an added plus:

• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Looker, or Tableau) helps you leverage data effectively for analysis and decision-making.
• You have a solid understanding of SaaS metrics and their drivers and can derive clear recommendations for action from them.
• Experience with HubSpot and Stripe
