Accountant

Hey you,

Meet Estrid - one of Europe's fastest-growing DTC consumer brands, building a category-defining subscription business in beauty and personal care. With approximately SEK 1 billion in annual revenue and operations across Sweden and the UK, we are a group of dreamers and doers on a mission to create one of the world's greatest consumer brands.

In these past years, we've done more than most thought possible and established ourselves as an outlier consumer case. But to be honest, we see this as only the beginning - and we would like you to join us in building the rest.

About the role

Your Purpose and Impact

As our Accountant for Accounts Payable, you make sure every supplier liability is recorded accurately, approved efficiently, and paid on time. You'll report to the Head of Accounting and sit right at the heart of Finance, where clean numbers and on-time payments protect our vendor relationships, our cost accuracy, and our financial control across every market we operate in.

But this isn't only an operational role. AP is where a lot of repetitive, manual work still lives - and that's exactly the opportunity. You'll use AI tools, prompts, and lightweight automation to strip out the manual steps, raise the quality of our accounting work, and help shape how a modern finance team actually operates. Along the way you'll work closely with Supply Chain, our Marketing teams, and our external VAT advisory partner.

This is a role for someone who likes precision and likes to question why a process looks the way it does.

Some of the things you'll do:

Accounts Payable Operations

Own the day-to-day flow of supplier invoices, coding them with the right cost account and VAT classification, sending them to approval early, proactively chasing overdue approvals, and releasing payment only once the entity, documentation, and accounts all check out. You'll reconcile and allocate outgoing bank payments in Business Central to the right vendors and invoices.

Cash-Flow Preparation

Keep a structured, always-current view of upcoming payables, approved and not, feed weekly input into our internal cash-flow forecasting model, and flag risks to upcoming outflows before they turn into surprises.

VAT & Month-End Close

Reconcile the VAT basis on coded invoices and payments, partner with our external VAT advisor to keep data filing-ready, and own the reconciliations of AP liability, supplier control accounts, and outgoing bank postings in Business Central, so your accounts are accurate and closing-ready every single month.

AI & Process Development

Build, test, and refine AI prompts and lightweight agents for recurring finance tasks like invoice coding, categorisation, and reconciliation checks. You'll use Claude in your daily work and share what's working with the rest of the team, map the manual steps across AP and adjacent processes, and help implement automation together with the Head of Accounting - always applying critical judgement and validating AI output against source documents and accounting principles before anything gets posted.

What we are looking for

You don't need to tick every box - but here's what will set you up to thrive:

• Accurate and detail-oriented, with strong ownership of your deadlines and reconciliations

• Structured and disciplined with approval and reconciliation routines

• A proactive communicator, especially when approvals or payments start to slip

• Comfortable prioritising high-impact work independently when things get busy

• Curious and hands-on with AI - you like experimenting with Claude, prompts, and small agents to make work better

• Process-minded - you see repetitive work as something to simplify or automate, not just grind through

• Critically minded toward AI output - you never accept a suggestion blindly, and always validate against source data and accounting rules

Bonus points if you also bring:

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Business Central

• A solid grasp of VAT handling and month-end close routines

• Experience working alongside external advisors or auditors

• A track record of actually improving a finance process, not just running it

Environment you thrive in

The Estrid culture isn't just something we put on our careers page - it's how we actually operate. Speed. Stay Hungry. High Standards. Keep It Simple. If those four words make you lean in rather than roll your eyes, you'll fit right in.

What you'll get

A real seat at a finance team that takes both rigour and reinvention seriously. You'll own a core part of how Estrid manages its money, with the backing of a Head of Accounting who actually wants you to automate the boring parts and grow into more. For the right person, this is a genuine path from internship into a permanent role - and a rare chance to learn modern, AI-first finance from day one.

A few practical details:

• Team: Finance, reporting to the Head of Accounting

• Employment type: Paid internship, with the possibility of transitioning into a permanent position for the right candidate

• Scope: 50-100% - open to discussion based on your availability and fit

• Location: Our office in Stockholm City. We're a team of around 60 full-time employees, one third with international backgrounds, and our corporate language is English.
