As a Senior General Ledger Accountant at Camunda, you will join us for a 6-month full-time engagement and own the close and reporting for our German parent entity, including HGB statutory financial statements, and take responsibility for additional entities (for example Singapore). Beyond your own books, you will help keep the group close running smoothly by maintaining the close calendar and guardrails in FloQast, supporting consistent accounting practices across entities, and being a trusted escalation point for complex GL topics. You will turn multi-entity, multi-currency activity into clear, reliable financial statements that leaders can act on, while strengthening controls, audit evidence, and documentation as we scale. You will partner closely with AP, Payroll, FP&A, Tax, and cross-functional stakeholders, and you will improve how we work by making processes clearer, reducing manual effort, and keeping documentation audit-ready.
