At Makersite, we're pioneering the future of sustainable product development and digital collaboration. As a leading platform for product lifecycle management (PLM), we empower companies to make smarter, more sustainable decisions across their entire supply chain. Our cutting-edge software enables teams to design, prototype, and manufacture with transparency, efficiency, and responsibility—reducing environmental impact while optimizing performance.

Who we're looking for:
As part of our growing team, you will play a key role in shaping the future of sustainable product development. We’re looking for innovative, driven Accountants who are passionate about technology and sustainability to join us in building tools that enable companies to make smarter, more responsible decisions. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented professionals, contribute to cutting-edge projects, and help drive the digital transformation of industries worldwide. If you're ready to make an impact and contribute to meaningful change, we want to hear from you!
This role is a fixed, permanent position. All successful applicants will need to reside in Germany with legal working permits or residence permits.
The role:
You’ll own our day-to-day accounting end to end — not a slice of a process, and no shared service centre behind you. You’ll run the function together with our Finance Manager. We work in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with an interface to DATEV (including VAT filings), plus Payhawk for spend management. Hours: 20–25 per week. Our preference is a half day every day (e.g. 8am–12pm or 9am–1pm); other patterns from 3 days/week are negotiable. Partial remote work possible.
What You’ll do:
- Accounts payable: invoice intake, review, posting, payment runs
- Accounts receivable: customer invoicing, incoming payments, overdue follow-up
- Bank postings and account reconciliation
- Payroll journal entries in collaboration with our People team
- Liaison with our external tax advisor (Steuerberater), including input for monthly VAT filings
- Documenting and improving our accounting processes
- Scope may grow over time, e.g. into fixed-asset accounting
- Solid experience in German (HGB) financial accounting (AP, AR, banks, payroll journals)
- Confident with DATEV
- German at C1/native level — this is the working language of the role
- Solid English is enough, mainly written, for internal communication.
- Good Excel skills
- A self-starter who isn’t afraid to ask questions
Nice to have: Business Central, Payhawk or similar tools, Steuerfachangestellte/r or Bilanzbuchhalter (IHK) qualification, audit support experience. Industry background doesn’t matter to us. Manufacturing, retail, services or tax practice — solid accounting is what counts.
What We Offer:
- Competitive Salary – We reward your skills and experience with a compensation package that reflects your value.
- 30 Days Paid Time Off – Take the time you need to recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance. (Pro-rated)
- Remote-First Flexibility – Work from anywhere in Germany, with the option to collaborate in person at our offices in Stuttgart, Berlin (role dependent).
- Generous Learning & Development Budget – We invest in your growth, providing ample resources for personal and professional development.
- Choose Your Ideal Work Equipment – Whether you prefer Apple or Microsoft, we’ll equip you with the tools you need to excel.
The Experience:
- Purpose-Driven Work – Build something meaningful. Here, you’re not just creating another app; you’re contributing to a transformative vision that you can be proud of.
- Great Colleagues – Join a team that’s open, transparent, and international. We value inclusivity and foster a culture of collaboration and mutual respect.
- Work-Life Balance – As a remote-first company, we trust you to do your best work, your way. You have the flexibility to work when it suits you, ensuring a healthy balance between personal and professional life.
- Pride in Impact – We're already making a significant difference with global, well-known customers who share our vision. Be part of something that matters.
- Stability with Ambition – With realistic growth plans, we’re committed to changing the way things are made—without sacrificing our ambitious goals for innovation and impact.
