About the role

We're looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant to join our Finance team in Berlin and take ownership of core accounting processes across our growing entity footprint.

The ultimate outcome of this role is to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and compliance of Taktile's financial records. From daily bookkeeping through to month- and year-end close, while helping build a scalable accounting function that supports our international growth.

This is a senior individual contributor role reporting directly to our Director Finance. You'll work side by side with our Senior Accounting Manager as her primary deputy across the full accounting scope, with the opportunity to grow into an Accounting Manager role over time.

At Taktile, you'll sit at the pulse of finance innovation. We have an open mindset toward AI and a strong appetite for bringing finance operations to the next level, and we look for people who want to take real ownership and move topics forward. The bar is high; so is the room to make an impact.

What you'll do

Own month-end & year-end close

• Drive a reliable, on-time month-end and year-end close across multiple entities, in partnership with our Senior Accounting Manager

• Prepare and review journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations to ensure the integrity of our books

• Be a day-to-day counterpart for our external auditors and tax advisors throughout the close and year-end audit cycles

Run core accounting operations

Support our multi-entity setup

• Coordinate accounting across our German, UK, Romanian and future entities, including the relationship with our outsourced UK and Romanian accounting partner

• Act as a reliable back-up across the full accounting scope, stepping in seamlessly to keep operations running

• Over time, take the lead in bringing accounting in-house for the UK and future entities as we scale

Drive innovation & strategic projects

• Get involved in the kind of strategic finance projects that come with scaling a high-growth company, for example, ERP implementation, US GAAP / IFRS conversions, or new entity setups

• Champion the use of AI and modern tooling in finance, identifying where agents, automation, and smarter workflows can replace manual effort and free the team to focus on higher-value topics

• Drive continuous process improvements to make our close faster, our books cleaner, and our team more scalable

What you'll need

• ~5 years of professional accounting experience, ideally in a fast-growing or international environment

• Strong, hands-on knowledge of US GAAP and/or IFRS

• Experience working across multiple entities or jurisdictions

• High attention to detail and a structured, hands-on, self-driven working style

• Eagerness to use AI and modern tooling to challenge how finance gets done

• Fluency in English
