The team’s mission is to support the company’s growth from a start-up to a large corporation, especially as we transition into becoming a group company with legal entities abroad.

Being part of a growing start-up means you will be expected to drive and enhance our internal capabilities as needed and to be part of a dynamic environment. The basis is within the financial controlling area, but expect to support within the business controlling area as well, working closely with the organization.

Areas of Responsibilities:

• Ensuring compliance with K3 (and potentially IFRS in the future) accounting standards and relevant legislation.

• Monitor that all the procedures for the month-end closing are followed.

• Review month and reconciliations closely working with the accounting team and the business controllers.

• Working closely with the business to ensure that accounting policies are implemented properly.

• Managing the audit process and liaising with external personnel as required.

• Streamlining and improving accounting systems and operations.

• Reviewing and validating data for both fixed and variable costs of business activities.

• Driving the implementation of an ERP system and ensuring that it holds data that is recorded correctly in a timely manner.

• Analyzing revenue, cost, etc., of all areas of financial control.

• Ensure accurate project accounting and revenue and cost recognition.

• Report results and goal achievement.

• Ensure that there are well-functioning financial information systems in place.

• Clarify economic events, causes, and consequences.

• Develop and present structured analyses.

• Investigate whether and how a product or service is profitable.

• Provide advice and support to management.

We are looking for you!

We believe that you have at least 3-5 years of experience as a Financial Controller or in a similar role, and are able to work independently bringing knowledge to the company. You have a problem-solving mindset, as well as an analytical point of view where you are able to provide innovative solutions. Since we’re still a relatively small company, it is important that you have a proven ability to work in cross-functional teams and collaborate with colleagues outside of the financial team. As a part of this it is also important that you have excellent communication skills and are used to presenting complex financial information for non-financial stakeholders in a structured and clear way. You thrive in a dynamic environment where you contribute to adding structure rather than relying on established routines.

Besides working with around 120 talented and humble people, from many different nationalities, in a fun and creative environment, we also have many other great benefits!

• Lots of team and office events, parental pay, salary exchange, great health benefits, order your own computer, place your own pension—to name a few
