• Improve and automate accounting processes and systems, so the close gets faster and more reliable

• In-depth knowledge of HGB and German tax law, especially VAT

A Short Note from Your Future Lead

Henrik , Director of Finance
Hello future colleague,

I'm Henrik, Director of Finance at Entrix. I joined two years ago, when we were still around 35 people. Since then, we have grown to more than 130 people across four countries. The pace at which we move is genuinely exciting, and the next two years will be even more so. My background is rather generalist: Management & Technology at TUM and Financial Economics at Oxford.

Finance at Entrix is not a back office. The money our customers earn on the power markets runs through our books before we pay it out to them, across Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland. A lot of this is anything but standard accounting, and that is exactly what makes this role so interesting.
I'm looking for someone who wants to own this part of Finance: set up how we do accounting across the group and make it run smoothly. I love working with people who are ambitious, have a low ego and enjoy building things.

Looking forward to speaking with you!

Best,
Henrik
