Do you want to develop within the field of finance in a role where you can combine analysis, administration, and customer contact? At HSB, you have the opportunity to grow in a role tailored to your experience – whether you are new to the profession or have several years of experience. Together with competent colleagues, you will become a vital part of delivering high quality and financial security to housing cooperatives.

In this recruitment, you will be employed by Stegra Recruitment and hired as a consultant to HSB Southern Norrland, with good opportunities for permanent placement.

Here, we serve approximately 430 housing cooperatives and other property owners with a comprehensive range of management services. HSB also has approximately 2,000 rental apartments in the area. We are supported by nearly 230 dedicated employees who now need reinforcement from an accountant based either in Sundsvall or Östersund.

By contributing to the organization's success, your efforts will be valued. The opportunities are here at HSB.

About the Role

The role is adapted based on experience and offers the opportunity to gradually take on greater responsibility. As an accountant, the primary task is to support customers with financial and administrative issues. For the more experienced role, this includes budgeting and closing accounts, financial advisory, and overall customer responsibility where you are the primary contact for housing cooperative boards and chairpersons. For a more junior profile, there is an opportunity to start in an assisting role with support from experienced colleagues, where tasks mainly include ongoing bookkeeping, reconciliations, customer and supplier ledgers, invoicing, and loan management. Regardless of entry point, you will have an important role in developing within the finance area and gradually taking on more responsibility as experience and competence grow.

Your Profile

We are looking for both those at the beginning of their career and those with several years of experience in finance. You have post-secondary education in finance or equivalent work experience. As a senior profile, you are confident in ongoing bookkeeping and closing accounts, and enjoy customer contact. It is an advantage if you have previously worked with the housing industry or with financial analysis. As a junior accountant, we believe you are newly graduated in the field, perhaps having completed an extensive internship or started working for a year or so with tasks such as ongoing bookkeeping and reconciliations.

As a person, you are structured, meticulous, and responsible with a good sense of service. You thrive working both independently and with others, have good collaboration and communication skills, and can adapt your message to the recipient. You are comfortable planning and prioritizing your work, enjoy working with numbers, and have analytical abilities. The role suits you if you want to develop within finance and contribute with a professional and customer-oriented approach, whether you are at the beginning of your career or have several years of experience.
