Financial Accountant / Cma

About Andercore

Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials for energy, infrastructure, and construction in wholesale and beyond.

We trade with global suppliers and distribute to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade and distribution end-to-end: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, and embedded financing. For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier; for our partners, it is the most convenient and safe way to do business across borders. Behind it, our software and agentic AI do the heavy lifting that used to take an asset-intensive supply chain with four or five intermediaries and weeks of manual coordination.

Where we are today:

• Strong triple-digit-million euro turnover

• Seven European markets live

• 80+ people across Berlin (HQ), offices in London, Mumbai, and Shanghai

$40M Series B just closed, $75M raised to date from Atomico, Project A, and Inven Capital, institutional financing from international banks.

We are building the world's first and last industrial-grade AI operating system for materials, redefining how global trade works in one of the largest and most essential industries on earth.

About the Role
We are looking for a Financial Accountant / CMA who takes full ownership of our accounting backbone in Germany while helping us build a highly automated, AI-driven finance function.

This is not a traditional accounting role. You will operate at the intersection of accounting, systems, and automation. Your goal is not just to keep the books clean, but to systematically eliminate manual work and build a finance setup that scales with the business.

You will work closely with leadership, external accountants, and operators across the company to turn finance into a real leverage function.

What you will do

• Own day-to-day preparatory bookkeeping and ensure accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness of all financial data

• Take full responsibility for general ledger reconciliations, including accruals, fixed assets, and AR/AP positions

• Support and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual closing process under HGB

• Prepare internal financial reporting and ensure consistency across all finance outputs

• Act as the key interface to our external accounting firm and ensure high-quality, timely deliverables

• Work closely with internal stakeholders and leadership on accounting, tax, and finance-related topics

• Identify inefficiencies in current processes and actively redesign workflows

• Drive automation across accounting processes - from data capture to reconciliation and reporting

• Leverage AI tools to reduce manual effort, improve data quality, and accelerate closing cycles

The AI-first finance mandate - Your role is not to scale work , it is to eliminate it.
You will:

• Use AI and modern tooling as your “junior team” to handle repetitive tasks

• Build workflows where data flows automatically from source to reporting

• Reduce dependency on manual bookings, reconciliations, and Excel-based processes

• Continuously question why something is manual and replace it with scalable solutions

• Help define how a lean, high-output finance function operates at scale

This role offers a unique opportunity to actively shape and build an AI-powered finance function from the ground up.

Who you are

• You bring solid experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or finance

• You have completed commercial training or a degree with a focus on accounting or finance

• Ideally, you hold a certification such as Bilanzbuchhalter or CMA (Certified Management Accountant) or a comparable qualification

• You have strong knowledge of German GAAP (HGB)

• You are highly confident in Excel and comfortable working with structured data

• You are curious about automation and motivated to work with AI tools in your daily workflows

• You are fluent in German and English and communicate clearly across functions

• You work in a structured, reliable way and keep control even under pressure

• You are comfortable working with financial systems such as DATEV and DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUO); experience with expense tools and Salesforce is a plus

• You are hands-on, pragmatic, and take ownership instead of waiting for instructions

What good looks like
After 3 months:

• Clean, fully reconciled books with clear ownership of all key accounts

• Strong collaboration with external accountants

• First automation wins implemented in daily workflows

After 6 months:

• Faster and more predictable monthly close

• Noticeable reduction of manual work through automation and AI usage

• Finance processes that are structured, scalable, and less dependent on individual effort

Why this role matters
We are scaling fast across markets, products, and transactions. Finance must scale faster - not by adding headcount, but by increasing leverage.
This role is critical to:

• Ensure clean and reliable financials

• Build a scalable finance backbone

• Unlock efficiency through automation and AI

• Enable the business to grow without friction

If you want to go beyond traditional accounting and help build a modern, AI-powered finance function, this is the role.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or any other characteristic. We believe that diversity drives innovation, creativity, and collective strength.
