We're looking for an Accounting Lead who takes real ownership of Accounting and Finance Operations, with a clear center of gravity in Quote-to-Cash : how customer contracts turn into invoices, receivables, and recognized revenue in an energy scale-up. Alongside taking our Accounting function to the next level under HGB, this is where you'll leave the biggest mark: turning Q2C from firefighting into a designed, scalable process.

Activities

Quote-to-Cash & Revenue Recognition

• Take Q2C to the next level: own invoicing, AR, and dunning end to end. Don't just run them - redesign them into scalable, partly automated processes together with Business Ops, Sales, and Tech.
• Own Revenue Recognition across our energy products, including PPA, spot, futures, and direct marketing. Write the policy, document it, and defend it with our auditor.
• Shape how billing-relevant customer and contract data is structured across systems.

Accounting

• Own the monthly and annual close under HGB end to end. Your team runs the execution; you set the standard, the cadence, and the quality bar.
• Own tax coordination with our external advisor, VAT, and internal controls.
• Redesign core Accounting processes with a clear focus on automation, and build the documentation that makes us audit-ready: process descriptions, close checklists, controls, and audit trails.
• Define energy-specific accounting principles together with external advisors.
• Lead our first full external audit as the single point of contact for our auditors.

Team leadership

• Take full functional and disciplinary responsibility for your team, including hiring, performance management, coaching, and development.
• Coach the team on structure, prioritization, and project delivery - not just technical accounting.
• Work cross-functionally with Business Ops, Tech, Sales, Treasury/FP&A, our external tax advisor, and auditors.

Requirements

Must-haves

• 6+ years of hands-on Accounting experience with a strong HGB foundation and ownership of the monthly and annual close, including audit experience.
• A proven track record of structurally redesigning Quote-to-Cash - including invoicing, AR, dunning, and revenue recognition - rather than simply running it. You've reshaped a Q2C process at least once and can walk us through what changed, why you changed it, and what the impact was.
• People leadership experience with full ownership : you've led at least two people and were responsible for hiring, performance, and development. You can point to how they grew under your leadership.
• A process design and automation mindset. You're openly opinionated about modern, lean tool stacks.
• Business-fluent English and German at B2+ level - enough to work with HGB, DATEV, tax advisors, and auditors.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in the energy market, for example PPA, spot, futures, or direct marketing.
• Experience with ERP selection or rollout.
• Familiarity with IFRS.
• Hands-on experience with tools in our stack: DATEV, Moss, Airtable, n8n, and Langdock.

About the Company

Willkommen im trawa-Universum! ⚡

Unsere Mission ist es, hochwertigen und bezahlbaren Grünstrom für Unternehmen jeder Größe zugänglich zu machen!

Als Full-Service-Dienstleister für den optimierten Einkauf von Ökostrom unterstützen wir kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen dabei, ihren Strom so zu beschaffen, wie es Großkonzerne können: nachhaltig und gleichzeitig kostengünstig.

Dafür haben wir eine KI-basierte Technologie entwickelt, die den Stromverbrauch unserer Kunden analysiert und Transparenz über die aktuellen Kosten und CO₂-Emissionen schafft.

Die Analyse ermöglicht es uns unseren Kunden das optimale Stromportfolio aus erneuerbaren Energien zusammenzustellen, das wirklich zu ihrem Verbrauchsverhalten passt.

Die Stromprodukte kaufen wir am Markt ein und ermöglichen so auch mittelständischen Unternehmen den Zugang zu erneuerbaren Energien - wie zum Beispiel Solar- und Wind-PPAs.

Unser Ziel ist es, die Energiebeschaffung zu professionalisieren und dem Klimawandel durch Erneuerbare Energien entgegenzuwirken. 🌎⚡

Gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern und Kunden arbeiten wir Tag täglich daran, den CO₂-Fußabdruck deutscher Unternehmen zu verringern. 👣
