About the Job
As a Specialist in our Record to Report team, you will be at the heart of our financial operations, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our financial data. Your core responsibilities will revolve around pure accountancy and reporting, focusing on reconciliations, inter-account bookings, and comprehensive annual reporting.
This role is integral to our financial stability, requiring a deep understanding of financial transactions across the entire company, from sales entities to factories, and a solid grasp of financial statements and balance sheet accounts. You will be instrumental in stabilizing processes after transitions from other locations, with significant emphasis on creating detailed documentation (SOPs) and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
For the first year, success will be defined by your ability to ensure process stability. Beyond that, there is ample opportunity for involvement in project work and growth into Subject Matter Expert (SME) roles in areas such as continuous improvement, financial reporting, finance data warehousing, or fixed assets.
Key Responsibilities Include:
What You Know
To thrive in this role, you should possess a strong foundation in accounting principles and practical experience in a financial environment. Ideally, you hold a university degree in finance or accounting, though extensive practical experience is also highly valued. You'll bring a minimum of 2-3 years of accounting experience, preferably in Record to Report (R2R), or 3-5 years for other exciting roles.
Your strengths include a solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping, financial statement components, and fixed assets. You have proven experience in financial reporting, including annual requirements. Familiarity with ERP systems is essential, and while not mandatory, Komal Optima experience is a plus; you'll quickly master our internal systems. Fluency in English is a must for seamless communication. Experience in process transitions and creating robust documentation is a fantastic bonus.
Who You Are
We're seeking a proactive and adaptable individual who integrates seamlessly into a collaborative environment. You're communicative, never afraid to ask questions for clarity, and maintain open lines of communication. You are accountable, quick to learn from mistakes, and committed to accuracy and continuous improvement. You possess excellent organizational skills, managing tasks efficiently and upholding high standards of documentation. As a true team player, you thrive in an inclusive "one team" culture, contributing to common goals and supporting colleagues. You're curious and adaptive, eager to learn new systems and processes, and quick to contribute to efficient workflows.
What’s in it for you?
We care about diversity, inclusion, and equity in our recruitment processes. We also believe behavioral traits can provide important insights into a candidate's fit to a role. To help us achieve this, we apply Pymetrics assessments, and upon application, you will be invited to play the assessment games.
If you are ready to make a significant impact in a dynamic and supportive environment, we encourage you to apply. We are looking to finalize recruitment by the end of July for a September 1st start date.
We are looking forward to your application, please submit it online. Applications sent directly via email will be deleted and disregarded due to GDPR.
