Vacant job

The Culture Administration works to promote a broad art and cultural life for everyone to participate in. We strive for a sustainable and open city that places culture and art at the center.

The Culture Administration employs approximately 800 people, primarily working within libraries, cultural centers, museums, and other cultural activities.

Responsibilities

The Finance Unit is part of the administration's supporting and steering functions and belongs to the Department of Finance, Planning, and Analysis. The department actively works to contribute to more resource-efficient processes.

Within the Finance Unit, there is an accounting group responsible for coordinating the administration's financial reporting. The group consists of four employees. As one of the group's employees has another assignment for a period, we are seeking a substitute Finance Assistant until May 2027.

In the role of Finance Assistant, you will work broadly within the accounting area. Your tasks include, among others, customer invoicing (both internal and external), work with customer accounts receivable, account reconciliations, and cash bookkeeping. You will participate in internal controls and contribute to the work with monthly, interim, and annual financial statements.

Qualifications

For the position of Finance Assistant, you must have at least a high school education with a focus on economics. Furthermore, you should have experience as a Finance Assistant, Finance Administrator, or equivalent, preferably within municipal operations. You also need experience with invoice handling/customer accounts receivable and accounting, as well as good knowledge of the Office package, especially Excel. Experience working in larger financial systems such as Unit4 is considered an asset.

As a person, you have good communication skills and express yourself clearly both verbally and in writing, which is important as the role involves many internal and external contacts. You work carefully and structured with a service-oriented approach. You have an eye for detail and follow up on your work to ensure high quality in what you deliver. Furthermore, you are flexible and easily adapt your working methods when conditions change or new information arises.
