Your Role
As Intern Finance & Controlling (d/f/m) you will be part of our two-person Finance Team, consisting of our Senior Finance & Controlling Manager and our Accountant. As such, you will learn about a wide spectrum of financial topics, supporting you to become a true finance generalist.
The position is available from August 2023.
What exactly will you do?
- Accounting business: With your focus on details and your passion for numbers, you will support us in all daily business tasks. Whether accounts payable or accounts receivable, you will take care and thus ensure an organized and efficient accounting system at LIQID. Exciting further projects are waiting for you and your bright personality. Along the way, you will be accompanied by an experienced team. Jeroen, our Senior Finance & Controlling Manager, will be your supervisor.
- Invoicing & Coordination: We look forward to accompanying you in your first steps into the big wide world of finance and contributing to your learning curve going steeply upwards. Whether it's invoicing, preparing bank transfers or monitoring incoming and outgoing payments - together with your team you will rock our daily business. Furthermore, you will support the coordination with our tax advisor. You can build/read/write reports - whether for our management or for external stakeholders, such as our shareholders or auditors.
- Own strategic projects: You proactively contribute your ideas, analyze new business models, think about initiatives, and thus contribute to the active development of our department. There are more cool projects waiting for you right now: the implementation of a new forecasting/budgeting tool, the change to a new tax advisor, the optimization of our accounting software NetSuite and much more.
What you bring
- Background: You are a matriculated student, at least having finished the first 2 years of your Bachelor program, ideally in a business degree program with a focus on finance, accounting and/or controlling.
- Skills and qualifications: Your interest in financial topics is unstoppable and a #nicetohave is if you have already gained some first work experience, for example through first internships in finance, banking, or consulting. Your PowerPoint slides are impressive? Can you build pivot tables with ease? Excellent! You can and like to communicate fluently in English. Communicating in German is beneficial but not required. Most importantly: you manage to communicate complex financial topics in simple words to non-finance colleagues.
- Mindset: Numbers don't scare you. On the contrary, you really flourish here and work carefully, structured and have great attention to detail. You are not afraid to proactively contribute your ideas, ask questions and work independently. As we deal on a day-to-day basis with highly confidential information, you show the highest level of integrity and have sound judgement on what information can be shared widely.
What we offer
- Diversity: Flat organisational structures and an open culture enable you to become an integral part of our dynamic team of international talents.
- Flextime: We do not make your life complicated. You will find the right balance in flexible working models, working hours and remote work arrangements. 24 days of vacation and 2 additional days off on the 24th and 31st December will ensure that you have plenty of time to relax.
- Respect: You will shape the future of digital wealth management with us in an innovative, multi-award-winning company on upward track, with high market relevance and plenty of room for your ideas.
- Equipment: Macbook, headphones and display are a matter of course.
- Smart Money: As a LIQIDian you will receive attractive conditions for our investment strategies, a monthly lunch bonus and exclusive discounts from various providers.
- Well-being: Regional organic products will keep you fit on-site at the office on Ku'damm – and our health initiatives such as beach volleyball, the Soccer Startup League or our Health Assistance program will keep you fit far beyond.
