Senior Accountant

About the role

Verda is expanding into new countries, and we're looking for two Senior Accountants to own the day-to-day accounting of our subsidiaries.

This is a hands-on role. You'll run the books on your own, coordinate with local advisors, and help build solid financial processes as we grow and bring our processes into line across the group. You'll be the finance point of contact for your subsidiaries. You'll work closely with our finance and accounting team and be the link between each subsidiary and its local accounting, tax and payroll providers.

Your responsibilities Own day-to-day accounting for your subsidiaries from start to finish: bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations and general ledger maintenance

Manage local outsourced providers (accounting firm, payroll provider, local auditors) so statutory reporting is accurate and on time

Review your subsidiaries' monthly figures during month-end close under Finnish GAAP and group reporting requirements, with a focus on accruals, capex and intercompany transactions

Make sure each subsidiary meets its local statutory, tax (VAT, corporate tax and withholding where it applies) and regulatory filing requirements, with support from local advisors

Monitor cash flow so your subsidiaries always have enough funds

Find ways to streamline and improve local accounting processes and controls

Help set up and grow new subsidiaries: learn the local compliance requirements from advisors, set up the chart of accounts, roll out our AP approval tool and connect local bank accounts for outgoing payments

Your key competencies 5-7 years of accounting experience, ideally at a Finnish international startup or scaleup

Strong knowledge of Finnish accounting standards (FAS) and statutory reporting, plus at least a basic understanding of VAT and corporate income tax

Proven experience managing external service providers

Comfort working independently in a fast-moving environment

Fluent Finnish and English, writ
