About the Role
A fast-growing, Series A/B EdTech company based in Berlin is looking for a Visiting Finance Analyst to join its Finance team on a full-time, on-site basis. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting directly alongside senior leadership — giving you a front-row seat to building a modern finance function from the ground up.
This role is ideal for a student, gap-year candidate, or recent graduate in business, finance, or economics who wants real exposure to financial close, reporting, forecasting, and AI-driven process automation in a high-growth tech environment. No visa sponsorship is available for this position.

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, run ad hoc deep-dives, and translate data into clear, decision-ready analysis.
-
Prepare decision briefs and support cross-functional initiatives with teams such as Growth and Engineering.
