Senior Financial Accountant

Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find a Senior Financial Accountant. You enjoy the point where a clean close, a difficult accounting judgement and a reliable control environment come together.

The partner needs a senior financial accountant to own reporting quality for several entities. You will manage complex close activities, resolve accounting questions and improve reconciliations and documentation while supporting colleagues across the finance organisation.

The finance environment values accuracy, traceability and practical improvement. Work should withstand review, make ownership clear and reduce the recurring manual effort or uncertainty that weakens later reporting and decisions.

How you will work

You will collaborate across entity finance, shared services and business teams while owning defined parts of the financial cycle. The partner expects issues to be investigated to root cause, conclusions to be documented and improvements to remain workable at the next close.

As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. Seniority here means broader judgement and follow through, not distance from delivery.

What you will do

Own complex month end and year end accounting activities.

Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations.

Analyse unusual transactions and document accounting treatment.

Produce statutory and management reporting schedules.

Strengthen controls, close checklists and process documentation.

Support audits and coach less experienced colleagues.

What you will bring

Several years of qualified financial accounting experience.

Strong general ledger and closing knowledge.

Ability to analyse and document accounting judgements.

Experience with reconciliations and internal controls.

Advanced spreadsheet and ERP capability.

Professional English and careful written communication.

Experience that would add value

IFRS and multi entity accounting.

SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics.

Audit background or statutory accounts preparation.

A background that can succeed here

You may come from an accounting team, audit or financial control role. The partner values someone who can investigate independently, know when to escalate and leave behind documentation another finance professional can follow.

What makes the opportunity interesting

You will own meaningful parts of the reporting cycle and have room to improve how the work is done. The role offers technical variety, visible responsibility and a path toward group accounting or finance leadership.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time.

The recruitment conversation

During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap.

How to apply

Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant organisation, service, project or financial process you have helped improve. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
