Your main tasks include ongoing management of supplier invoices, ensuring timely payments, and maintaining continuous contact with both suppliers and employees. You will follow up and manage any discrepancies and work towards various deadlines to maintain a stable and secure financial process. Additionally, you will be responsible for ongoing bookkeeping, accounts payable, and some customer invoicing for one of the smaller municipal-owned companies.

The position also includes account reconciliations, both within the municipality's accounts payable and in the municipal company's accounting. You will be an important part of the interim and year-end closing work and will work closely with your colleagues.
