About Us

4 Friends Investment (4FI) and nxl RE GmbH form a German real estate investment and management group with a portfolio spanning Germany, Poland, Spain, and Luxembourg. Our accounting team manages property, fund, and entity-level financial administration across the group using Microsoft Dynamics 365 with the RELion module as our core accounting system. We're looking for a Group Accountant to join our growing finance team and take ownership of accounting across both our German operating entities (PropCos) and their holding structures (SPVs), while supporting investor and group-level reporting.

The Role

As Group Accountant, you will be responsible for the full accounting cycle across both SPV/holding-level entities and the underlying PropCos in your portfolio, from invoice coding and payment processing to intercompany reconciliations, VAT treatment, month-end close, and investor/group reporting under IFRS. You'll work closely with property management, fund controlling, and external tax advisors, and play a key role in keeping our RELion/D365 bookkeeping accurate, timely, and audit-ready.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-cycle accounting across both SPV/holding entities and operating PropCos for an assigned portfolio of German entities (accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliation, intercompany accounts)
• Invoice coding and booking in RELion/D365, including vendor, service period, account coding, VAT treatment, and payment preparation
• Preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual account statements per property/entity
• VAT return preparation and coordination with tax advisors (UStVA, § 15a UStG adjustments where relevant)
• Support during monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statement close (HGB)
• Contribute to investor and group-level reporting, including HGB-to-IFRS bridging and preparation of IFRS reporting packages
• Reconciliation of intercompany loans and balances between SPVs and their underlying PropCos
• Point of contact for property managers, tax advisors, auditors, and investors on day-to-day accounting queries
• Support with payment run preparation and approval workflows
• Contribute to process improvements and standardization across the group's growing entity roster

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in property/real estate accounting or general accounting within real estate, fund, or asset management structures
• Solid knowledge of German GAAP (HGB) and working knowledge of IFRS, particularly for investor and group-level reporting
• Exposure to VAT/UStG rules for real estate is a strong plus
• Hands-on experience with an ERP/property accounting system (RELion, D365 Business Central) preferred
• Strong Excel skills
• Fluent German (required) and professional working-level English
• Structured, detail-oriented working style, comfortable managing multiple entities and deadlines in parallel
• Completed commercial training (e.g., Buchhalter/in, Steuerfachangestellte/r, Immobilienkaufmann/-frau) or equivalent; further qualification (Bilanzbuchhalter/in) a plus

What We Offer

• Part of a pan-European real estate group (Germany, Poland, Spain, Luxembourg), with this role focused on our German entities
• Direct collaboration with an experienced Head of Accounting and a close-knit, hands-on team
• Modern accounting infrastructure (D365/RELion) and room to help shape processes as the portfolio grows
• Flexible working arrangements (hybrid or remote)
• 30 days of vacation per year
