The ideal candidate sees AI as a way to work smarter and focus on what matters.

This position offers a unique opportunity to take your career to the next level by becoming part of a fast growing software startup with opportunities to grow your profile in areas such as consolidation and group controlling, international GAAP and merger & acquisitions.
