trawa is a hyper-growth energy-tech company backed by Balderton Capital, Speedinvest, and Headline. The company enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. You will help build an in-house accounting function from the ground up as trawa brings bookkeeping in-house.
In this hands-on role, you will own accounts payable operations, including processing and posting incoming invoices from Moss into DATEV with correct VAT treatment, handling expenses and credit card bookings, maintaining vendor master data, and preparing payment runs. You will support month-end close activities including bank reconciliation, accruals preparation, and year-end support working with auditors. You will ensure documentation is GoBD-compliant and audit-ready, and partner with Operations, Procurement, and budget owners to resolve invoice and cost questions.
Beyond day-to-day accounting, you will identify manual steps in your processes and automate them, and contribute to the company's ERP rollout. This is a role for someone who wants to own their area and build processes from scratch, not just maintain existing ones.
You will join a Finance team of approximately ten people across Accounting, Billing, Collections, FP&A, Treasury, and Strategic Finance. You will work closely with colleagues in these areas and see how your bookings flow into cash and planning. Cross-functional collaboration with Business Operations, Energy, and other departments is expected.
The company offers flexible working, 30 vacation days, L&D budget, competitive compensation, VSOPs (share package), meal vouchers, Urban Sports membership, and vibrant office culture. There is a clear growth path within the career framework toward Senior Accountant or specialization in revenue accounting or finance systems.
