The posting

Imagine this. You step into a key finance role at one of the busiest points of the year, helping ensure our German accounts are accurate, reconciled, audit-ready, and closed properly. As our Temporary Accounting & Controlling Specialist on a 6-month fixed-term contract, your main focus will be supporting the year-end closing process, bringing solid country-level accounting experience and the ability to get hands-on with reconciliations, account clean-ups, audit documentation, and financial analysis.

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone who already understands what a year-end close involves in Germany and can quickly take ownership of tasks with limited supervision. You will work closely with our Finance team, helping clear outstanding items, prepare supporting documentation, investigate discrepancies, and ensure IFRS and HGB adjustments are correctly reflected.

At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

What You'll Do

- Support the German year-end closing process and help ensure accounts are complete, accurate, and ready for audit

- Perform balance sheet and general ledger account reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and follow outstanding items through to resolution

- Review and clear open or aged account balances and support account clean-up activities ahead of year-end close

- Prepare year-end closing documentation, account specifications, schedules, and supporting analysis

- Support the preparation and booking of IFRS adjustments as part of the Group reporting process

- Support HGB adjustments and German statutory year-end accounting requirements

- Prepare documentation and supporting evidence requested by external auditors and respond to accounting-related audit queries

- Work closely with the Finance team to identify missing information, unusual balances, incorrect postings, and other issues that could impact the year-end close

- Perform financial analysis and provide clear explanations of account movements and variances when required

- Work directly in Microsoft Dynamics, ensuring transactions, adjustments, reconciliations, and supporting information are correctly reflected in the system

- Support ad hoc accounting and controlling activities during the year-end period where additional capacity or analysis is required

Requirements

What You'll Need

- Mid-level professional experience in accounting, controlling, or a similar finance role

- Solid hands-on experience with country-level accounting and year-end closing processes

- Good understanding of German accounting requirements and HGB

- Working knowledge of IFRS and experience supporting or preparing IFRS adjustments

- Strong experience with balance sheet reconciliations, general ledger accounting, account analysis, and clearing outstanding balances

- Previous experience supporting external audits and preparing audit documentation

- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics is required

- Ability to independently investigate accounting discrepancies and take them through to resolution

- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data and account-level analysis

- Professional working proficiency in English

- German language skills are highly desirable

- Previous experience working in a fast-paced, international organization is a plus

Who You Are

You know your way around a year-end close and do not need every step mapped out for you. You are comfortable opening an account, spotting something that does not look right, digging into the transactions, and figuring out what needs to happen next.

You are structured, analytical, and detail-oriented, but you also understand that year-end is about getting things done. You communicate clearly, keep documentation organized, and know when to escalate an issue. You enjoy working collaboratively while being comfortable taking ownership of your own accounting topics and driving them through to completion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
