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.
