About the role

In this role, you will be employed directly by Serkon but will work as a consultant for the company's clients. As an accounting economist at Serkon, you will play a central role in managing ongoing accounting and reporting within municipal finance. You will work to ensure that bookkeeping and financial reports are handled correctly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The role includes both operational and coordinating tasks, where you keep the daily accounting together and serve as support to the client's CFO or financial manager. You will be involved in the year-end closing work and help the client prepare documentation for monthly, quarterly, and annual closings, which in turn will form the basis for the annual report.

You may work on multiple assignments, even if you only have one assignment at a time. The role requires a good understanding of municipal accounting and investment accounting, as well as a strong sense of responsibility to ensure that the accounting is correct.

Examples of tasks:

- Ongoing bookkeeping – register and manage business transactions, such as incoming and outgoing invoices

- VAT and tax reporting – manage and report VAT, employer contributions, and other taxes

- Year-end closing work – prepare documentation for monthly, quarterly, and annual closings

- Customer and supplier accounts – manage payments and receipts

- Income statement and balance sheet – prepare and analyze financial reports

- Budget and forecasts – participate in financial planning and follow-up

- Financial advice – support management through analysis of financial key figures

- Contact with authorities and auditors – manage communication during, for example, tax audits or annual reports

About you

We are looking for someone with a background in accounting and a strong understanding of financial processes. You are meticulous, structured, and have a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to ensuring that the accounting is correct. Since you will be working on client assignments, it is important that you can quickly understand the organization's processes and how the financial work is structured. You thrive in a role where you take significant personal responsibility while collaborating well with colleagues and clients to create effective financial processes.

Furthermore, you are professional and pedagogical in your communication, and you have the ability to explain financial contexts clearly and understandably. We also see that you are unpretentious and have a solution-oriented attitude, where you can balance independent work with teamwork and advising.

To fit the role, we see that you have:

- University degree in economics or vocational education in accounting

- At least 5 years of experience in accounting within the public or private sector

- Experience in preparing documentation for year-end closing – monthly, quarterly, and annual closings

- Knowledge of investment and asset accounting

- Very good skills in Excel and experience with financial systems (e.g., Visma, Raindance, or Hypergene)

- Good understanding of accounting rules and tax regulations

- Good communication skills in Swedish, both spoken and written

- A valid driver's license and access to a car

It is an advantage if you have experience working as an accounting manager within municipal operations. If you have experience from the private sector, it is important that you have worked independently with the entire process around the annual closing.
