About the role
We are looking for a highly capable Finance Personnel to take ownership of the day-to-day finance administration, support the monthly closing process, and perform operational checks and controls on the core business process.
This is a hands-on role for someone with a strong finance foundation, a sharp eye for detail, and the confidence to work independently. We are intentionally looking for a candidate with a somewhat more senior profile than a traditional finance administrator, so this person can take ownership, maintain structure, and act proactively with limited supervision.
You will be responsible for managing the finance administration end-to-end while also being actively involved in the day-to-day checks of the core business process. You will help ensure that operational activities are accurately reflected in the financial administration, that discrepancies are identified quickly, and that month-end closing is well supported.
This role combines accounting, operational control, reconciliations, and process ownership. It is ideal for someone who is hands-on, structured, and comfortable operating in an international environment.
