Our story:


Every year millions of people are either filing their taxes in fear or giving up on their tax refund altogether. We're working on fixing that. Our intuitive app enables anyone, regardless of education or background, to file their taxes with newfound confidence. Spread across Berlin and Madrid, Team Taxfix is a compassionate group of solution-finders. We speak our minds openly, and with 450+ professionals from 60+ different nationalities, we're rich in ideas and voices. In five years, we've raised over 300 million euros in funding and helped people reclaim more than two billion euros.

 

Your challenge:  


As our Director Operational Finance within the Finance Team, you will take the finance administration of Taxfix to the next level. Reporting to our CFO and collaborating with our Project Team, the Strategic Finance Team, and numerous stakeholders on the senior leadership team, you'll drive automation in accounting, segment reporting, IFRS conversion, group consolidation, tax, financial compliance and treasury. By building a world class team operating on robust structures, you will play a key role in helping Taxfix attract external investors. 


Your team: 


In Finance, we prioritise automation over hiring. With a lean team of five accountants, we have successfully implemented a group-wide ERP system and passed our first two financial audits since 2020. We strongly believe accounting should be a key enabler for organisational steering. Accurate forecasting, internal controls, and a culture of frugality through expense monitoring and budgets all start with accounting. Therefore, accounting is more than an administrative backbone but rather a business partner at Taxfix. Everybody on the team has an in-depth understanding of our business and can partner with and challenge stakeholders across all seniority levels.

 

Your responsibilities: 

  • Act as a competent contact person for internal teams as well as for external partners such as banks, auditors, tax consultants, and insurance companies on all matters related to the financial administration of Taxfix.
  • Support the documentation of accounting processes according to legal requirements as well as the account assignment and booking of current expenses and income.
  • Assume full responsibility for the preparation of monthly and annual financial statements.
  • Drive the optimization and automation of our accounting systems.
  • Reduce FX and interest costs and mitigate risks.
  • Build a world-class team covering all aspects of accounting, treasury, and tax.
  • Implement IFRS reporting across the entire group.



Your profile: 

  • Minimum five years of work experience in an audit firm (big four is a plus).
  • Exposure to both financial consulting and assurance.
  • Previous work experience in a scale-up environment, preferably with capital markets exposure.
  • You have a comprehensive grasp of IFRS and HGB.
  • Minimum five years of leadership experience.
  • You know how to choose and negotiate with external vendors such as consultants or software providers.
  • You have strong project management skills and are able to interact with stakeholders well beyond the reach of finance; especially auditors and consultants.
  • You have a burning curiosity for the drivers behind the business you work with.
  • You have a flexible mindset that you like to adjust to the environment you're working in.
  • You are fluent in both German and English languages.
