Do you want to take the next step in your career and step into a role where you can combine your accounting experience with greater responsibility for people, processes, and development? Have you worked broadly within finance and feel ready to lead a team and help shape an evolving finance function? Then this could be the role for you.
About the RoleTogetherwith our partner, we are now seeking an Accounting Manager for Göteborg. This role is perfect for you if you have a solid and broad foundation in accounting and group accounting and want to take the next step in your development as a leader. Perhaps you currently work as an accounting manager, senior accounting economist, or team lead and feel it's time to take on greater overall responsibility for both a team and a function.
Beyond leadership, you will have overall responsibility for ensuring that accounting, financial statements, group reporting, and annual reports maintain the right quality and are delivered on schedule. The role is broad and operationally close, which means you need to have a good understanding of operational accounting and be prepared to work closely with the daily workflow when needed.
A central part of the assignment will also be to develop the finance function's processes and working methods. You will help create clearer procedures, more efficient workflows, and a structure that works even as the business changes and grows. To thrive, you should find change management and process development as interesting as accounting itself and be motivated by the opportunity to build something together with the team.

Lead and develop a smaller accounting team with focus on engagement, collaboration, and clear areas of responsibility
Responsible for work distribution, resource planning, skills development, and the team's collective delivery
Ensure quality and delivery in ongoing accounting, financial statements, group reporting, and annual reports
Take overall responsibility for group accounting and collaboration between different parts of the business
Drive improvement and change initiatives aimed at creating a more efficient and modern finance function
Be an important contact person for auditors and ensure that the correct documentation and supporting materials are in place
What we're looking forAcademic education in economics or equivalent
Several years of broad experience in qualified accounting, financial statements, and annual reports
A clear interest in developing processes, procedures, and digital working methods
Fluent knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
Experience with group accounting
Experience with SAP is highly meritorious
To thrive and succeed in this role, we believe you are a confident and clear person who enjoys leading people through change. You have determination and dare to make decisions, challenge existing methods, and create direction even when the path forward isn't entirely clear. At the same time, you are responsive, unpretentious, and good at leveraging the knowledge and experience that already exists in the team.
