[Hiring] Accounting Associate @ElbeFruit GmbH

Role Description

Are you the kind of person who actually enjoys getting the little things right? Do you find it oddly satisfying when your bank reconciliation lands on the exact amount? Have you ever color-coded a spreadsheet just because it felt right? If you’re quietly nodding to all of this — we think you’re going to feel right at home with us.

At Norig, accounting isn’t a behind-the-scenes grind. It’s the lifeblood of clarity, structure, and smart business decisions. We’re looking for an Accounting Associate who isn’t just here to tick boxes, but to help build the systems that help us scale.

This role is perfect for someone early in their career who wants to learn fast, contribute meaningfully, and grow into a future finance leader. You’ll work closely with the Finance & Admin Lead, roll up your sleeves on day-to-day operations, and build the kind of habits and skills that will shape your career for years. This isn’t just a data-entry gig — it’s a front-row seat to how great financial teams are built.

Tasks

• Maintain accurate day-to-day financial transactions — entries, updates, and reconciliations. Knowledge of Journal entries is a must.
• Exposure with vendor payments.
• Assist in monthly and annual close processes (and make sure we hit those deadlines).
• Support preparation of tax reporting like VAT — accuracy is key!
• Reconcile bank statements and vendor accounts like a pro.
• Help manage payables and receivables, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
• Keep records clean, clear, and compliant with IFRS.
• Work with tools like Business Central Dynamic 365, QuickBooks, Excel, and others to keep everything on track.
• Communicate with vendors, internal teams, and auditors as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (prefering CA Inter or any other equivalent professional certification).
• Minimum 4-5 years of accounting experience (internships count if you were hands-on!).
• Good working knowledge of Google sheets (Excel - Pivot tables, VLOOKUP’s — you know the drill).
• Mandatory to have experience with accounting software Business Central Dynamic 365.
• Solid understanding of VAT and bank reconciliations.
• Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and not afraid to ask questions.
• Strong communication skills (you’ll be talking to people, not just numbers).

Requirements

• Experience juggling multiple entity accounts or intercompany transactions (Nice to Have).
• Exposure to compliance filings or year-end audits (Nice to Have).
• A curiosity about automation or improving how things work (Nice to Have).
• A spreadsheet you’ve made just for fun (yes, we mean that literally) (Nice to Have).
• Ambitions to grow into an Accountant & Senior Accountant role (Nice to Have).

Benefits

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses.
• Learn directly from experienced finance leadership.
• Exposure to real-world accounting challenges and opportunities.
• Remote work flexibility (yes, we believe in work-life balance).
• A team that takes accounting seriously — but not too seriously.
