Role overview

We are looking for an accountant to join our finance team in Stockholm on a six-month fixed-term contract. You will support accounting and financial reporting for Benifex legal entities during an important period of team transition.

This is a hands-on and technically focused accounting role covering month-end close, financial statements, balance-sheet governance, financial controls and audit support. You will work closely with colleagues across group finance, external accounting agencies and auditors while helping us improve our systems and processes.

This role is best suited to a strong accountant who can become productive quickly, take ownership and navigate a changing environment with confidence.

Responsibilities

• Perform accounting for Benifex legal entities and prepare financial statements under IFRS.

• Deliver month-end close activities in line with the agreed timetable and ensure Group reporting deadlines are met.

• Own monthly balance-sheet reconciliations and substantiation, including reviewing reconciliations prepared by the wider team.

• Coordinate with accounting agencies across Benifex jurisdictions to support accurate and timely reporting.

• Help maintain and improve the internal financial-control framework.

• Document key accounting processes and support the remediation of control gaps and audit findings.

• Contribute to finance-system and process-improvement initiatives, including NetSuite and wider ERP changes.

• Partner with finance and commercial teams to explain results, resolve accounting queries and connect business activity to accounting outcomes.

• Support tax and treasury with activities including transfer-pricing documentation, calculations and invoicing.

• Act as a key contact for external auditors when required.

What we are looking for

• Approximately 3+ years post qualification experience in financial accounting.

• Previous NetSuite experience.

• Strong month-end close and balance-sheet reconciliation experience.

• Experience preparing financial statements and working with IFRS.

• Ability to understand business activities and translate them into appropriate accounting outcomes.

• Comfortable working through complexity, change and competing priorities.

• Full Professional fluency in English and Swedish.

• A formal accounting qualification.

Bonus points for:

• Multi-entity or international accounting experience.

• Experience coordinating external accounting agencies and auditors.

• Exposure to ERP implementation, finance-system change, automation or close-process standardisation.

We want to make the application process as simple and fair as possible. That's why we don't ask for a cover letter for this role. Instead, you'll find a few short questions in the application form. Your answers will help us understand your experience and skills in a more direct and relevant way.

We look forward to receiving and reading your application!
