Audit Manager – Group Consolidation & IFRS

Entyre Group is one of the fastest-growing health tech scale-ups in Europe and the United States. We are based in Zurich, Berlin, and Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., and other locations and employ over 500 people, and are redefining outpatient care: tech-enabled, fast, effective, and truly human-centered.

We combine high-quality care with operational excellence, clear processes, and a modern, technology-driven organization.

We believe that everyone deserves to live a self-determined, dignified life at home, even when in need of care. Family caregivers provide incredible support every day and deserve professional backing, reliable structures, and genuine appreciation.

Position Overview

The Audit Manager – Group Consolidation & IFRS is one of the most critical seats in our Finance organization. As Entyre scales across Europe and the United States, we need a finance leader who can build the reporting backbone that supports a global, multi-currency, multi-GAAP business — and stand up to Big 4 scrutiny. You will own the group consolidation across all entities, lead our conversion to IFRS, and act as the primary counterpart to our Big 4 auditors.

This is not a “close the books and tick a box” role. You will design the policies, processes, and systems that turn local GAAP reporting from Germany (HGB), Switzerland, and the U.S. into a clean, audit-ready, IFRS-compliant group picture — and you will defend every number in front of senior auditors, investors, and lenders.

You will work directly with the CFO, partner with local finance leads across jurisdictions, and play a central role in the financial infrastructure that supports the next phase of growth — including preparing our reporting, controls, and documentation to keep a U.S. IPO open as a strategic option by 2028. This role reports directly to the CFO. You will build and lead a team of 4–6 people across Berlin, Zurich, and Boston over the next 24 months.

What You’ll Do

Group consolidation & external audit 

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual group consolidation across all Entyre entities in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States — including currency translation (EUR, CHF, USD), intercompany eliminations, and reconciliations.

• Lead the IFRS conversion project end-to-end: gap analysis vs. current local GAAP (HGB, US GAAP, Swiss GAAP FER), drafting of conversion adjustments, opening balance sheet, and design of the IFRS group accounting manual.

• Act as the primary point of contact for our Big 4 audit: scoping discussions, PBC management, technical position memos, and resolution of audit findings.

• Author technical accounting memos for complex topics, including equity instruments, venture debt, warrants, share-based payments, business combinations, and revenue recognition (IFRS 15).

• Build and maintain group accounting policies and ensure consistent application across all local entities and finance teams.

Team & operating model 

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing international Group Accounting team, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.

• Define and implement the target operating model for Group Accounting, scalable, with clear ownership across entities.

• Partner with local finance leads in each jurisdiction to align reporting, resolve discrepancies, and uplift local quality.

Controls, governance & compliance 

• Implement a group-wide internal control framework (SOX readiness).

• Own financial governance and compliance across all entities.

Systems, data & transformation 

• Improve our consolidation tooling and close cycle - shorten the timeline, reduce manual work, and increase data integrity.

• Define the finance systems and data strategy - ensure data quality and a single source of truth across the group.

• Lead finance transformation and process scaling; drive change management across international teams.

• Develop KPI and management reporting structures.

Stakeholder management & strategic finance 

• Support investor and lender reporting, due diligence requests, and ad hoc CFO projects (financing rounds, M&A, banking covenants).

• Manage external advisors (audit, legal, IPO).

• Act as a sparring partner to the CFO on performance and key strategic decisions.

IPO readiness 

• Build the reporting maturity, internal controls, and documentation required to keep a U.S. IPO open as a strategic option by 2028 — including an auditable multi-year IFRS track record, robust technical accounting positions, and a close and consolidation process that can withstand SEC and NYSE / Nasdaq scrutiny.

Must-Have Skills & Experience

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience, including a strong Big 4 audit foundation (Senior / Manager level) followed ideally by in-house group accounting or consolidation experience.

• Professional qualification: Wirtschaftsprüfer (WP), Steuerberater, CPA, ACCA, or equivalent.

• Deep technical IFRS expertise — including IFRS 2 (share-based payments / stock options), IFRS 3 (business combinations), IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IFRS 16, IAS 36 (impairment / CGUs), and IAS 38 (intangibles) — and demonstrated ability to write defensible technical memos.

• Hands-on experience leading group consolidation across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions.

• Proven ability to lead a Big 4 audit from the company side — managing scope, timeline, deliverables, and difficult technical conversations.

• Strong working knowledge of HGB; familiarity with US GAAP and Swiss GAAP FER is a strong plus.

• Advanced Excel; experience with consolidation tools (LucaNet, Tagetik, OneStream, or similar) and NetSuite as our ERP system.

• Leadership experience in building and scaling international finance teams.

• Strong background in internal controls, governance, and SOX.

• High ownership mentality, strong attention to detail, and the ability to operate under tight deadlines in a fast-moving environment.

• Fluent in English (working language). German is strongly preferred.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in healthcare, multi-site services, or another regulated industry.

• Experience in a private equity- or venture-backed company, including support for financing rounds, venture debt, and lender reporting.

• Strong mindset for IFRS notes and Management Report drafting.

• Exposure to M&A accounting (purchase price allocation, goodwill, business combinations).

• Project management experience leading a finance transformation or IFRS first-time adoption.

• Exposure to U.S. IPO readiness or pre-IPO reporting environments — for example, S-1 preparation, SOX readiness, PCAOB-standard audit support, or transition to SEC reporting on NYSE / Nasdaq.

How We Operate - Non-Negotiable:

"Insanely Great" for Families - Delivered Now:
Forget just 'satisfaction'. We deliver support that makes caregivers feel loved and seen. Understand their pain, anticipate their needs, and solve them – fast.
The standard is "Insanely Great," period. Anything less slows us down and fails our families.

Speed is King - Ruthless Focus is the Key:
Velocity comes from focus. Kill distractions. We concentrate all firepower on the #1 critical objective until it's done. Then we attack the next one.
Decide what not to do and cut it ruthlessly. Being a mile wide and an inch deep is failure. Move the needle now.

Raise the Bar: Crush Mediocrity:
Mediocrity is poison. It kills speed, morale, and companies. We hunt it down and eliminate it. Good enough is never good enough.
Demand A-Player performance from yourself and everyone around you. Own your shit. Deliver excellence, fast. No excuses, no passengers.

The Speed Algorithm: Question. Delete. Simplify. Accelerate.
This is how we build momentum: Question every requirement – who asked? why? Delete ruthlessly – parts, processes, bureaucracy. If you don't add 10% back later, you didn't cut enough. Simplify what's left. Then, accelerate cycle time like hell.
Challenge everything. "It can't be done" means "You haven't figured it out yet. Go do it." Break bottlenecks, find shortcuts, remove friction.

Act Like Owners - Bold Bets, Fast Action:
This is your company. Own the mission, own the results. Don't wait for permission – take initiative.
Make bold bets that can leapfrog progress for our families. Act decisively. Move fast. If you stumble, learn faster and go again. Bias for action is everything.

Additional note: We value direct, transparent, and fast-paced communication. Feedback is typically candid, straightforward, and focused on outcomes. People who thrive here are comfortable with high standards, constructive challenge, and open debate in pursuit of the best results.

The Bottom Line:
We are building something vital, and we are doing it at lightning speed. This requires intensity, focus, and a relentless drive to execute. If reading this makes you want to jump up and build faster, welcome to Entyre. If not, get out of the way.
