Vacant job

We are recruiting on behalf of our client for a structured and independent accounting manager for a group of companies with multiple operations. The group consists of approximately 10 active companies, several of which are smaller and have limited ongoing activity. The combined turnover of the operations is approximately 30 million SEK. This is a broad and exciting role for you who want to work closely with owners and management, gain insight into various businesses, and contribute to structure, control, and order in the ongoing financial work.

The client operates several different businesses, including car sales and workshops, real estate, gyms, and beverage operations with alcoholic drinks. This implies a varied role where you work close to the operations, while the main focus lies on ongoing bookkeeping, accounting, reconciliations, and creating order in the financial flows.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the accounting manager, you will have operational responsibility for the ongoing accounting in several companies. This role suits you if you thrive working independently, creating structure, and maintaining good control over bookkeeping, reconciliations, payments, payroll, and financial flows.

The main focus is on the car business, which is by far the largest part of the group in terms of turnover. There, you will be present approximately 2–3 days per week and work closely with the operations regarding daily financial flows, reconciliations, payments, customer flows, supplier flows, and monthly closing.

The remaining time is primarily focused on a few clear main flows, such as real estate-related accounting, gym operations, and the beverage business.

This is a role for you who want responsibility and variety, but without personnel or budget responsibility. The position is being filled because the business is growing, and the group now wants to move the financial work from an external provider to in-house management. You will enter a stage where the right person has the opportunity to contribute with structure, control, and improvements in the financial work, while an experienced external person is available as a sounding board during the transition.

Ongoing accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll

• Responsible for ongoing accounting and bookkeeping for the active companies
• Handle customer and supplier ledgers, payment flows, bank and account reconciliations, and ongoing follow-up

• Work with financial flows related to real estate operations, such as rent invoicing and follow-up
• Handle accounting related to the beverage business and familiarize yourself with relevant tax issues, such as excise duty on spirits
• Prepare relevant materials for the annual report and, if necessary, compile the annual report with the support of an external person
