Chief Accountant

Your profile We are looking for someone who has an academic degree in economics or equivalent, as well as 5–8 years of experience in qualified accounting. You may have several years of previous professional experience as an accounting manager, but you may also have worked for several years at an auditing firm. It is also important that you have good written and oral skills in English, as much of the ongoing communication within our international group takes place in this language. You should have a good understanding of business systems.

You can analyze the workflow and question results with a pragmatic approach. You enjoy leading others and helping colleagues to perform and develop in their work. You are comfortable working with operational accounting issues but also have the ability to see and prioritize your own and your team's work from a helicopter perspective. Driving change motivates you, and you always strive to increase efficiency as much as possible. Furthermore, you are flexible and understand the importance of seeing the potential in your colleagues. You are self-driven in all accounting processes, from start to finish, and have good analytical abilities. It is a merit if you have experience in qualified accounting work within an international group. At FläktGroup, you will get the opportunity to work in an international group with strong local roots. FläktGroup was formed 100 years ago, and although we are now present all over the world, we still have our largest unit in Jönköping. Here, the entire development chain is present; from idea to finished product. Our modern and unique manufacturing is entirely customer-order driven, which places high demands regarding flexibility and efficiency.
