Accountant for Swedish Life Saving Society Gothenburg

Popis:

Every year, thousands of children learn to swim through the Swedish Life Saving Society Gothenburg's activities. Behind every swimming school, lifesaving course, and initiative to increase water safety competence are people who make the organization function. Now we're looking for an accountant who wants to take a comprehensive approach to our finances and combine their accounting expertise with a genuine commitment to society. About the role This is a broad and operational position where you manage finances in an organization with many operational branches and different revenue streams. You'll be the person who ensures our finances work today, while also providing insights and information for tomorrow's decisions. In this role, you work hands-on in your daily responsibilities and ensure that the accounting process functions smoothly, from ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, and tax filings to monthly closing, budgeting, financial monitoring, and reporting to the board. You also manage contracts, insurance, capital management according to board guidelines, and grant reporting related to parts of our operations. As the sole accountant, you'll also be the organization's natural go-to person for financial questions.
