Finance Jobs in Germany: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You need a finance job in Germany and you want names, not vague market talk. Here is a dated snapshot of the live feed, plus a plan you can run this week.

What the feed shows on 14 October 2026#

On 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed showed 81 open Finance jobs in Germany. Of those, 77 went up in the last 30 days, and 72 in the last 7 days.

That ratio is the whole story. Almost everything here is fresh, because most of these listings went live in the past week, so a role you like today can be gone by Friday. Move fast.

Who is hiring right now#

Ten employers carry most of the open listings, and some of them are recruiters or staffing firms placing people at other companies. Smava GmbH shows 6 listings, MY Humancapital GmbH shows 6, Delivery Hero shows 4, and ARCHIMED shows 3.

• Smava GmbH: 6 open listings
• MY Humancapital GmbH: 6 open listings
• Delivery Hero: 4 open listings
• ARCHIMED: 3 open listings
• Infosys Consulting - Europe: 2 open listings
• FFG FINANZCHECK Finanzportale GmbH: 2 open listings
• Skdse: 2 open listings
• cbs Corporate Business Solutions GmbH: 2 open listings
• bachert&partner: 2 open listings
• Enpal: 2 open listings

Two names carry real volume, and that's where the odds are. Smava GmbH and MY Humancapital GmbH each have 6 open seats, so one tailored application there can cover several roles at once.

Recruiters are in the mix too. MY Humancapital GmbH and bachert&partner look like placement firms rather than end employers, so treat them as a second channel, because one application can turn into several introductions.

The roles being filled#

The listings cover accounting, controlling, finance business partnering, investment, consulting, and finance sales. A sample of what is open right now:

• "(Senior) Accounting Manager | Buchhalter (m/w/d)" at THE VERSE Ventures GmbH
• "Teamleiter (m/w/d) im Finanzvertrieb (German Speaking)" at Peter Stenmans
• "Investment Director (Diagnostics) - Lyon, France" at ARCHIMED
• "Finance Business Partner - Membership & Consumer Finance (m/w/d)" at visionm GmbH
• "Senior SAP Finance Consultant" at teamative
• "(Senior) Accountant / Buchhalter (m/w/d)" at Bitcap
• "Head of Accounting (m/f/d) - Frankfurt am Main (hybrid)" at Matrix42
• "[Munich] Investment & Strategy Analyst" at Dedale Intelligence

Notice the range. Accounting and Buchhalter roles are common, and senior titles like Head of Accounting, Investment Director, and Teamleiter show up often, so mid-career people have the most to pick from here. Consulting shows up through Infosys Consulting - Europe and cbs Corporate Business Solutions GmbH.

Where the jobs are#

Berlin dominates with 36 of the 81 listings. Munich follows with 16, then Frankfurt with 6, Hamburg with 3, and Stuttgart with 3.

If you live in Berlin, this is your market. Munich is the clear second hub, and it shows up again in cross-city roles, like the bachert&partner restructuring listing that names Stuttgart, München, Frankfurt am Main, and Köln.

Frankfurt is smaller than you'd expect for a finance centre. That's a data point from this feed, not a verdict on the whole city, so check the finance listings for Germany for anything new since 14 October. Worth a look.

What the mix says about the market#

Four groups show up in this slice, and the balance tells you where to aim.

Big tech and scale-ups: Delivery Hero and Enpal. These employers want people who can move fast across teams, with reporting and tools that change often, so show you can handle messy data and tight deadlines.

Startups and venture-backed firms: THE VERSE Ventures GmbH, visionm GmbH, Dedale Intelligence. Titles here are broad, and a "Finance Business Partner" at a startup can own a whole process end to end.

Consulting and agencies: Infosys Consulting - Europe, cbs Corporate Business Solutions GmbH, teamative, MY Humancapital GmbH. These firms sell finance expertise to clients, so travel and project work are normal, and you'll be staffed on different accounts.

Public and regulated players: not a big share of this slice, but the German-language titles and the run of Buchhalter roles suggest steady demand in traditional firms and regulated businesses. Quiet demand.

The job-type split is blunt: 80 full-time, 1 freelance. Freelance finance work is barely present in this snapshot, so if you contract, you'll find almost nothing here. That's the catch.

Entry-level is thin. Only 1 of 81 listings has an entry-level looking title, the "(Junior) Consultant Restructuring and Turnaround Management (m/w/d)" role at bachert&partner, so if you're early career you should widen the search beyond this slice and lean on internships and trainee schemes. Apply anyway.

One honest note: no listing in this slice shows a salary. Budget for negotiation, and ask about the range early.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct when you can. If a listing sits at Delivery Hero or Enpal, hit their careers page as well as the job board, because direct applications often get read faster.

Mirror the listing keywords. German titles matter, so if the ad says "Buchhalter (m/w/d)", use that word in your CV, and if it says "SAP Finance", name the SAP modules you actually know.

For country context, the JobRise Hiring Report: Germany shows 1,846 open listings across all categories, with 1,642 posted in the last 30 days. Finance is one slice of that total.

Before you send anything, run your CV through the free ATS resume checker. Many employers filter with software first, and a clean CV gets further.

A 7-step plan#

• Pick 10 target listings from the 81, at least 4 in Berlin and 2 in Munich.
• Rewrite your CV headline to match the title you want, for example "Senior Accountant / Buchhalter".
• Add the exact German and English keywords from each ad, such as Buchhaltung, Jahresabschluss, SAP FI/CO, Controlling.
• Apply direct on the employer site first, then on the board, and note the date.
• Message one recruiter at MY Humancapital GmbH or bachert&partner with a short note and your CV.
• Track every application in a simple sheet: company, title, date, contact, next step.
• Follow up after 7 days with a two-line email that restates the role and your fit.

Worked example: rewriting a CV bullet

Old bullet: "Responsible for accounting tasks in the finance department."

New bullet: "Owned monthly Buchhaltung and Jahresabschluss preparation for a 40-person entity, closing the books in 5 working days using SAP FI/CO."

The second version names the task in German, gives a number, and names the tool. It reads like the ad.

Worked example: a short application message

"Sehr geehrte Frau/Herr [Name], I am applying for the (Senior) Accounting Manager role. I have 6 years in Buchhaltung and Jahresabschluss, working daily in SAP FI/CO, and I can start with one month notice. My CV is attached. Best regards, [Name]."

Short, specific, and it repeats the ad's own words.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

They are a snapshot taken on 14 October 2026 from the JobRise live jobs feed, counting open listings rather than surveying the market. Listings change daily, so check the feed for the latest.

Should I apply to recruiters or only to companies?

Do both. Recruiters like MY Humancapital GmbH and bachert&partner can put you in front of several employers, but direct applications to firms like Delivery Hero or Enpal keep you in control.

Is freelance finance work realistic in Germany right now?

In this slice, no. The feed shows 80 full-time listings and 1 freelance, so widen the search beyond this finance slice and talk to agencies directly.

What if I am junior and only one listing fits?

Look past titles. Apply to roles where you meet most requirements, add internships or working-student experience, and widen the city filter since Berlin and Munich hold most of the openings.

Why do the listings show no salary?

None of the 81 listings in this slice include a salary figure. Ask for the range in the first call, and check official sources for current tax and minimum wage rules before you negotiate.
