Job description

Financial Accountant – Commodity Trading

End-to-end scope · IFRS · Group companies

Looking for an accounting role where you own the full picture rather than a single process? Our client, a Geneva-based commodity trading group, is looking for a Financial Accountant to take responsibility for the accounts of its group companies, from daily bookings to IFRS financial statements.

Why this role is different

In many large organisations, accountants specialise in one process or one standard. Here, you\'ll handle the entire accounting cycle across several entities. It\'s an ideal opportunity for a technically strong accountant who wants breadth, ownership, and exposure to the fast-paced world of commodity trading.

What you\'ll do

Day-to-day accounting

• Bookkeeping for the group companies, invoice booking and payment requests
• Cash transactions and bank reconciliations
• Follow-up of overdue invoices

Group and trading specifics

• Calculation and booking of intercompany interest
• Monthly intercompany reconciliations and settlements
• Reconciliations with clearing-house accounts

Closing and reporting

• Monthly and year-end closing for all group companies
• Preparation of financial statements under IFRS, Swiss statutory requirements and management reporting
• Analytical review of balance sheet and P&L
• Preparing for and leading the annual audits

What you bring

• A degree in accounting, finance or a related field and a professional qualification (ACCA, CPA, Swiss Certified Expert, French DEC/DSCG) is a strong advantage.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience covering the full accounting cycle, gained in industry, an audit firm or a multinational.
• Solid IFRS knowledge: you can illustrate the standards with concrete cases you have handled.
• Commodity trading experience is a plus, not a prerequisite. Strong technical accounting matters most.
• Advanced Excel and fluent English.
• Sound judgement, rigour, and the ability to see the big picture while drilling into detail.

What\'s on offer

• A group committed to sustainable development
• A multicultural team with a flat hierarchy, where initiative is welcomed
• An easily accessible office and regular team events
