Temporary Finance & Admin Assistant Needed in Germany
Budget: €18 – €36 EUR
We are looking for a meticulous finance and administrative assistant for an 8-month period starting in October 2026. The role averages 10–12 hours per week and is set up as Hybrid, so you can work remotely most of the time but should be available for the occasional in-person session in Berlin if needed.
What you’ll handle
• Collect all receipts and keep them orderly for our external accountant
• Prepare the monthly pre-bookkeeping package (coding, digital filing, clear notes)
• Compile the weekly payment run, ready for final approval under our four-eyes policy
• Communicate with the external payroll provider each month and pass on payroll instructions on time
• Keep our brun rate overview in Google Sheets fully up to date
Tool landscape
We work primarily with Google Sheets, online banking portals, and cloud storage. We currently do not use DATEV, SAP, or Lexware internally, so you should be comfortable managing workflows without those systems.
What we are looking for
• Solid, hands-on experience in preparatory bookkeeping
• Proven accuracy and confidentiality
• Confident Google Sheets skills
• Reliability in meeting weekly and monthly deadlines
• Readiness to execute payments after internal approval
• Fluent in German & English
Deliverables & cadence
– Weekly: payment run file plus supporting documents
– Monthly: pre-bookkeeping folder, expense overview, payroll instruction sheet
– End of contract: well-structured archive of all 8 months and a brief handover note
If you enjoy tidy finances, clear processes, and independent work within a small team, I’d like to hear from you.
