(Senior) Group Accountant – M&A Integration / Beteiligungsbuchhalter (m/f/d)

As a (Senior) Group Accountant – M&A Integration, you will take ownership of the operational execution of post-merger integrations (PMI) across a growing portfolio of entities.

While the M&A team focuses on acquisitions and a dedicated function defines the PMI blueprint, your role is to bring this blueprint to life — ensuring that newly acquired entities are smoothly integrated into the Group’s accounting, financial processes, and system landscape.

You will act as the central operational point of contact for local finance teams, coordinating day-to-day activities, aligning processes, and ensuring that accounting, intercompany structures, and financial flows run reliably and efficiently.

Your success will be measured by how effectively you translate structure into execution — enabling a fast, clean, and scalable integration that supports an efficient group close.
