Description

WE HELP THE WORLD RUN BETTER

At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we’ll bring out the best in you. We’re builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what’s next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You’ll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What’s in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

WHAT YOU BRING:

We’re looking for someone who’s not just good with numbers — but curious about what they mean and how they shape business decisions.

  • Strong analytical mindset — comfortable with data and eager to turn insights into action.
  • General understanding of IFRS, especially IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) — or a strong willingness to learn.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
  • Proactive and self-driven — able to set priorities and move forward without a detailed roadmap.
  • Passion for continuous learning and understanding end-to-end processes.
  • University degree in accounting, auditing, finance, or a related field.
  • CPA or equivalent is a plus but not required.
  • Experience with revenue recognition in cloud, software, or services is a bonus.
  • Fluent in English; German is a plus.
  • Intermediate Excel skills; Advanced Excel is a plus (no VBA required).

Work experience:

  • Strong preference for at least 3 years of experience in financial accounting at a publicly listed company or an auditing firm.
  • Prior experience in a financial reporting function is preferred—but if you’re a fast learner with a passion for analytics and finance, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
  • Research and advise on revenue recognition for new cloud, software, and services models.
  • Collaborate with Sales, Legal, Development, Pricing, and Finance to structure deals that meet accounting and reporting requirements.
  • Partner with internal SOX teams and external auditors to manage revenue risks—especially in Commit-to-Consume models.
  • Own and execute specific SOX controls and Non-IFRS policies.
  • Use system data (ISP, CRM, BW, etc.) to identify and analyze issues that impact revenue recognition and disclosures.
  • Perform analytics to support policy decisions and uncover insights that drive smarter financial reporting
