Job description
About the Role
A fast-growing, AI-powered EdTech startup based in Berlin is looking for a Visiting Finance Analyst to join the Finance team on a full-time, on-site basis. This is a rare opportunity for an early-career finance professional or student to work directly alongside the Director of Finance & People and company founders — with real ownership, genuine exposure to leadership, and a front-row seat to building a modern finance function from the ground up.
If you're curious, proactive, and excited about the intersection of finance and AI-driven automation, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
Act as a right hand to the Director of Finance, preparing decision briefs, supporting cross-functional initiatives, and keeping projects on track.
Support monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes and coordinate with external auditors.
Contribute to accurate, reliable financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
Assist with operational controlling, including budget planning, financial forecasting, and liquidity tracking.
Build monthly reports, conduct ad hoc deep dives, and translate data into clear, decision-ready analysis.
Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual workflows using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations.
Help transition the finance function from static reporting to dynamic, AI-enhanced financial intelligence.
Coordinate with tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers, and collaborate cross-functionally with teams such as Growth and Engineering.
What We're Looking For
Required:
Currently studying, on a gap year, or recently graduated in business, finance, economics, or a related field.
Strong analytical mindset with solid Excel skills — able to turn messy data into clear, actionable answers.
Keen interest in AI tools and automation.
Foundational understanding of accounting principles.
Strong written and spoken German and English (both required).
Proactive, self-driven, and pragmatic — comfortable taking ownership and working closely with leadership.
Nice to Have:
Prior internship or coursework in finance, accounting, controlling, or consulting.
Familiarity with BI or low-code platforms.
Knowledge of German accounting practices (HGB) or IFRS.
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation details to be discussed during the hiring process.
Direct mentorship from senior leadership and founders.
Significant ownership and responsibility from day one.
Opportunity to work at a high-growth startup operating across 30+ countries.
Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
This is a fully on-site role based in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be available to work in Berlin. No remote or hybrid arrangement is offered for this position.
