About the role
Revenue Accountant
Accounting & Finance · Berlin, Germany
Our Mission For You
Own the revenue & AR engine of a scaling energy-tech company, where clean accounting directly enables growth, trust, and Series-B-readiness.
trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. Our business sits at the intersection of energy flows, complex B2B contracts, and fast-moving markets, which makes our revenue anything but standard: energy products, variable pricing, and multiple billing cadences, each with its own recognition logic and data source.
As our Revenue Accountant, you will own the processes that turn this complexity into clean, auditable numbers. You'll work closely with our Tech and Data team on 15-minute interval energy data, hundreds of contract variants, and data flowing from CRM, energy warehouse, and finance tooling into a single revenue truth. A lot of what you'll need doesn't exist yet, you'll help build it from the ground up.
This is a role for someone who wants real ownership in a small, fast-growing team, and who is looking for a company they can grow with as we scale toward Series B and beyond.
What You'll Own
Revenue Recognition & Contract Accounting
Apply and maintain revenue recognition policies (HGB today, IFRS 15 on the horizon) across trawa's customer and contract types
Translate commercial terms (variable pricing, multi-element arrangements, energy-specific structures) into the right accounting treatment
Own and reconcile deferred revenue and energy accrual schedules
Customer Billing & Accounts Receivable
Co-own a defined scope of the invoicing process end-to-end, from creation through reconciliation
Drive AR reconciliations and aging; own dunning and collections
Month-End Close, Reporting & Audit Readiness
Own revenue-related close activities: journal entries, account reconciliations, variance commentary
Maintain audit-ready workpapers and documentation for all revenue and AR positions
Proactively flag policy gaps and propose fixes, before the auditor does
IT & Finance Transformation
Contribute to our Billing Tool Rollout and ERP selection as the revenue voice
Help replace manual workflows with automations, you don't just flag inefficiencies, you fix them
Your First 90 Days
Month 1 - Learn the Landscape: Build an understanding of trawa's business model, revenue processes, and accounting workflows, while taking ownership of recurring tasks such as invoice tracking, reconciliations, and AR reviews.
Month 2 - Take Ownership: Independently manage key revenue accounting activities, contribute to the month-end close, and identify opportunities to improve billing, reconciliation, or revenue recognition processes.
Month 3 - Build and Improve: Own assigned close activities end-to-end, deliver audit-ready documentation, and drive one structural improvement to revenue reporting or process automation.
Who You Are
3-5 years in accounting, with meaningful exposure to complex revenue accounting, AR, or billing, ideally in a B2B SaaS, energy, or tech-enabled business
Solid accounting fundamentals with hands-on experience in IFRS 15 or HGB revenue recognition in a contract-heavy environment, comfortable with deferred revenue and month-end close
Ownership mindset: you don't wait to be told what's broken, you find it, fix it, and document it
Analytical and data-curious: comfortable with large datasets, spotting anomalies, forming a hypothesis and testing it against the data before escalating
Structured and detail-oriented: your reconciliations are clean, your documentation holds up under audit scrutiny
Proficient in Excel / Google Sheets
Business fluent in German and English
Nice to Have
AI-first mindset: hands-on with tools like Langdock, Claude, ChatGPT, or n8n, you've built workflows, not just used chat. Bonus if you've built your own automations.
SQL or Python basics (or willingness to learn quickly) to query billing and energy data directly
Experience with DATEV, Moss, Airtable, or ERP implementations
Exposure to energy billing, commodity contracts, or variable pricing structures
Experience supporting or preparing for an external audit
Don't worry if you don't match every box, we value drive and learning speed over perfect CVs
