Finance Jobs

Finance Manager The Opportunity If you're an accountant in financial services and you only ever see one slice of the finance cycle, this role gives you the whole picture. You'll run the month-end close, own the statutory year end and produce the reporting that local leadership and the parent group use to make decisions. Board papers too. You'll join a small team led by the Head of Finance, which means your work is visible and your judgement carries weight. As you settle in, more ownership comes your way. And you're not inheriting a finished system. Improving how the function works is part of the brief. If you've ever looked at a process and known there's a better way, here you get to build it. The Role Own the month-end close, with bookkeeping under IFRS and German GAAP in SAP Steer the year end, from statutory accounts and supporting files through to the audit Deliver monthly reporting to local leadership and the parent group, including commentary on revenue development Prepare the financial content for board meetings Manage cash and liquidity across bank accounts, cards and petty cash Run billing and collections, and coordinate supplier payments with a shared service team Calculate and invoice intercompany recharges Work closely with group accounting and controlling, external auditors and customers Find better ways of working and put them into practice That breadth is rare. In a large finance department it can take years to touch every one of these areas. Here, it's the job from day one. The Company Our client is a financial services business operating as part of a wider international group. You get the backing and structure of a group, with the pace and closeness of a small local team. Your reporting goes to both local leadership and group, so your work and your profile build on both sides of the business. What You'll Need Hands-on accounting experience gained in financial services Confident working knowledge of both IFRS and German GAAP Business-level German and English How to Apply Interested?

Head of Internal Audit The Opportunity If you've ever inherited an audit function and wished you could have built it your own way, this is your chance. Our client has grown to the point where it needs independent assurance, and there is no function in place yet. You will be the first hire. The methodology, the team, the audit plan and the culture are yours to define, with no legacy approach to unpick. Independence is built in from the start. You will report administratively into governance, risk and compliance, with direct access to the executive team you oversee. Your view reaches the people who need to hear it, unfiltered. The brief is assurance that is practical and commercially minded: a clear picture of the risks that matter most, and real help tightening processes as the group scales. The Role Build and grow your team in step with the business, setting working practices where rigour and collaboration go hand in hand. Design the audit methodology and governance, including the analytics and digital tools that let a lean team cover more ground. Map the group's biggest exposures and set both the annual and multi-year audit plan. Lead reviews end to end, from first scoping conversation to closed actions, across subsidiaries in several countries and central functions. Test how controls, risk processes and governance hold up in practice, and agree lasting fixes with the people who own them. Brief the executive team on significant exposures, giving an independent view and challenging where the evidence calls for it. Work closely with finance, legal, HR, risk and operational heads while keeping your objectivity intact. The Company Our client is a high-growth international technology group with operations across several countries. Its expansion is the reason this role exists: the business has reached a scale where it can no longer do without a dedicated, independent assurance function. For you, that means a business still moving fast, with processes still taking shape. Your recommendations will influence how the group operates as it grows, not simply record how it works today. What You'll Need Senior internal audit leadership experience. A track record of building an audit function from scratch, or substantially reshaping one. Strong technical grounding in control frameworks, ERM and governance standards, applied through a risk-based audit approach. Credibility at board and executive level, with the confidence to challenge constructively. Experience leading and developing an audit team. Fluent German and English. How to Apply Interested?

Head of Tax Accounting The Opportunity If you're already the person everyone calls when deferred tax gets complicated, here's a chance to own the whole agenda. This is a Head of Tax Accounting role with real scope. You won't inherit a finished function and keep it ticking over. You'll decide how tax accounting develops across an international group: the governance, the controls, the processes and the systems behind them. Your judgement will shape how the Group reports its tax position, not just whether this quarter's numbers are right. You'll have an international team to build, a direct line to the executive team and a seat at the table on M&A, joint ventures and restructurings. If your current role has become more about maintaining than building, this is worth a closer look. The Role Lead and develop an international team of tax accounting specialists. Own the Group's current and deferred tax position across the consolidated and entity accounts, delivered to every monthly and annual close. Advise the executive team on complex domestic and international tax matters. Assess the accounting and tax impact of M&A, joint ventures, restructurings and integrations alongside the business. Build a robust tax control environment covering global tax risk, Group-wide policies and supporting processes. Choose and implement the tax technology that makes reporting faster and more reliable. Manage relationships with auditors, external advisers and tax authorities, and work closely with Group Accounting on tax balance sheet issues. The Company Our client is an international industrial group. Tax accounting sits right where tax and finance meet, which means your work feeds directly into the consolidated accounts and into conversations at executive level. The mandate goes beyond reporting. The Group wants someone to modernise how tax accounting works, so you'll have the backing to change processes and introduce new tools rather than fighting for permission. What You'll Need Senior leadership experience in tax accounting, group tax or international financial reporting. A tax adviser qualification. Deep technical knowledge of IFRS, particularly IAS 12. Experience with international tax structures and transfer pricing. Hands-on experience with SAP and consolidation platforms. Business fluency in German and English.

Senior Tax Manager (M&A) The Opportunity If your tax work currently ends with a memo someone else acts on, this role puts you on the other side of the table. You'll own the tax side of every deal, from the first structuring conversation to long after closing. You design the structure, negotiate the tax positions yourself, then stay with the portfolio to keep it compliant and efficient. Your after-tax modelling feeds straight into deal valuations, which means your work shapes investment decisions rather than sitting in an appendix. The Role You'll advise on buy-side and sell-side transactions involving layered, cross-border structures. Day to day, that means: Designing tax-efficient structures that also protect investor reputation Reviewing external due diligence reports and challenging findings that don't hold up Securing robust tax positions in purchase agreements and side documentation, and finding workable solutions when parties disagree Modelling after-tax returns and feeding them into deal valuations Briefing accounting teams and investors' advisers once deals close Managing compliance and documentation across investment vehicles, including transfer pricing Spotting tax risks early and coordinating mitigation with group functions and outside counsel Leading restructurings and keeping every stakeholder aligned Tracking legislative change and what it means for the portfolio You'll work directly with investors, finance colleagues and external advisers, so your recommendations reach the people making the decisions. The Company Our client is an international investment organisation with a portfolio spanning multiple jurisdictions. Tax is built into how it invests, not treated as a compliance step at the end. That gives you two things that are rarely found together: the pace and variety of live transactions, and the continuity of seeing the structures you designed perform over time. What You'll Need Four to seven years' tax experience gained in advisory, in-house or with the tax authorities Solid knowledge of German and international tax law Confidence building financial models, including after-tax return analysis Fluent German and English How to Apply Interested?

CAPEX Controller The Opportunity If you've spent years reporting on investment decisions other people make, this is your chance to shape them. An international manufacturing group needs a CAPEX Controller to lead investment planning across all of its companies. You'll be the person senior management relies on before committing capital, which means your analysis directly decides where the group puts its money. You'll also own the financial side of a major SAP S/4HANA programme. Transformations on this scale don't come along often. Controlling the budget and shaping planning and reporting in the new system is experience that will set your CV apart for years. And because the group is developing its investment policies and processes, you won't just follow a framework. You'll help build it. The Role Consolidate investment planning across the group, including budgets, forecasts and medium-term plans Assess investment requests and business cases using ROI, NPV and payback analysis Analyse variances against plan and recommend what happens next Write the decision papers senior management uses to approve investments Develop group-wide investment policies and processes Manage and monitor the S/4HANA programme budget, and help shape planning and reporting in the new SAP environment You'll work closely with finance, IT and international teams, with occasional travel.

Senior Manager - Tax Reporting & Compliance The Opportunity If you want real ownership of a technical tax area without stepping into a director-level remit, this is worth reading. Deferred taxes are the central focus of this role, and they're yours: the calculation, the review and the documentation. You'll be the person the business relies on to get those numbers right, with the authority to shape how it's done. You'll report directly to the Head of Tax Reporting and Compliance. That means short decision lines, a direct line to the person setting the function's direction, and a genuine say in how processes develop. The work also gives you breadth. Alongside deferred taxes, you'll lead on national compliance and contribute to international reporting, so your experience keeps growing while your focus stays sharp. And because the team actively uses and develops its tax technology, you'll have room to improve how the work gets done rather than inherit a fixed way of working. The Role Own the calculation, review and documentation of deferred taxes Prepare and review tax figures for financial reporting, including contributions to international reporting processes Manage national tax compliance, making sure filings are accurate, complete and on time Use and further develop the team's tax technology tools to improve efficiency and data quality Work closely with the Head of Tax Reporting and Compliance on technical questions and process development Act as a key contact for finance, accounting and external advisers on reporting and compliance matters This is a hands-on senior role. You'll stay close to the technical detail, which suits someone who enjoys being the expert in the room as much as improving the process around them. What You'll Need Substantial experience in tax reporting and tax compliance, gained in industry or professional services Strong technical knowledge of deferred taxes and their treatment in financial statements Confidence working with tax technology tools and data-driven reporting processes Fluent German and strong English How to Apply Not actively looking? That's fine. Get in touch with the MAM Gruppe team for a confidential conversation about this role. Your CV doesn't need to be up to date. Send what you have, or just give us a call.
