JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Are you a skilled economist with strong communication skills and a passion for delivering high-quality support? Are you looking for a challenging assignment where you also have accounting responsibility? We are now seeking an economist with accounting responsibility for our accounting unit in the Social Administration Center.

We are a development-oriented unit that works with both accounting and state compensation. Within the accounting unit, our mission is to create an efficient, qualitative, and customer-focused unit that works closely with both the finance and administrative departments. We perform accounting for and provide support and quality assurance to the four social administrations of Hisingen, Nordost, Sydväst, and Centrum. Your colleagues are accounting economists, administrators, and case officers. The unit also includes two business controllers.

As an economist with accounting responsibility, you have a central role in driving and developing the accounting work for one of our customer administrations. You are the spider in the web, both for your colleagues and as a contact person for the administration regarding issues related to year-end closing and accounting. Your responsibilities include reconciling balance accounts and year-end closing work. You will ensure that we adhere to good accounting practices and that the quality of the accounting is high. Together with your colleagues, you are also expected to drive and develop working methods to meet customer needs.

With us, you will have the opportunity to work independently with significant personal responsibility but also in a strong collaborative team where we support each other and the unit as a whole. You are expected to be involved and contribute to both your own and the group's development.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a degree at the university level focused on accounting/economics. You also need to have experience working with qualified accounting/economic work. In addition, you should have good IT skills, especially in Excel, as you will use the system daily.

If you have previous experience working with the Agresso and Nekksus Hypergene systems, we consider this an advantage. We also prefer candidates with previous experience in the public sector.

As a person, we are looking for someone who can overview their own area of responsibility and relate the unit's needs to the needs of customer administrations. You are skilled at collaborating on overarching issues, and those you collaborate with feel involved in the joint work. You are good at analyzing challenges and can draw logical conclusions based on the information available to you. To succeed in this role, you also need to have good communication skills and be able to adapt your language in both speech and writing according to the audience. You are collaborative and solve challenges together with others, which is reflected in your results. Finally, you also need to be structured. You set clear goals and plan activities and projects in good time. You use your time effectively and work systematically, organized, and methodically. You ensure that work is completed and follow up on the results.

Does this sound like you? Then you are warmly welcome to apply!
