Client:

Our client is the Geneva office of an established international group specialising in trust services, corporate administration, and family office solutions for an international client base. The firm supports the ongoing accounting and administration of a broad range of structures, including corporate entities, holding companies, trusts, and private wealth arrangements.

While the work is international and technically complex, the Geneva office remains a close-knit and supportive environment where professionals are carefully trained and developed over time. Junior and mid-level team members work closely with experienced accountants, trust professionals, and senior leadership, benefiting from strong day-to-day guidance and a busy and dynamic environment.

The culture is professional, client-focused, and built around accuracy, collaboration, and long-term development. It offers the stability and structure of a global organisation, combined with the accessibility and team spirit of a local office. Great central Geneva office location.

Position:

This could be an excellent opportunity for a native or bilingual English-speaking accountant looking to develop their career. Whether you have recently started your accounting career and are looking to build on your first or second role, or you already have some relevant experience, this position offers the opportunity to join an established international organisation and gain valuable experience within the fiduciary and trust services sector.

As part of the accounting team, this role is ideal for an early-career accounting professional who is eager to deepen their technical skills within a structured, international environment. This busy role is working closely with the CFO, senior accountants and trust officers. You will receive hands-on support and training in trust accounting as well as corporate accounting, while progressively taking on more autonomy. This position offers strong progression, over time, with responsibilities evolving as your experience develops. The position is for a CDI contract to start as soon as possible.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

• Day-to-day bookkeeping across a portfolio of international client structures
• Processing invoices, payments, and accounting transactions
• Maintaining accurate ledgers and supporting general accounting records
• Assisting with reconciliations and month-end close processes
• Supporting the preparation of financial statements and reporting
• Gaining exposure to multi-entity structures and client reporting requirements
• Liaising internally and supporting communication with clients and external stakeholders where required

Why Apply:

This is an excellent opportunity to build solid experience in both fiduciary and corporate accounting within an international environment. You will gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of structures, strengthen your technical accounting skills, and develop confidence in reporting and month-end processes. You will be joining a supportive team that values learning and development, making this an ideal step for someone looking to grow into a more autonomous and technically strong accounting professional. A collaborative and sociable team environment, with regular team events and social activities.

Profile:

• At least 2–4 years’ experience in accounting, audit, fiduciary/client accounting, or a similar finance role
• Exposure to core accounting tasks such as bookkeeping, reconciliations, invoices, payments, and financial statements
• Accounting experience from fiduciary services, corporate services, trust company or family office is an advantage but not a must
• Knowledge of VAT or reporting is a plus
• Accounting qualification (or studies towards one such as ACCA, CIMA, Brevet fédéral) is an asset but not essential
• Strong interest in developing within an international fiduciary environment
• Detail-oriented, structured, and reliable working style
• Good Excel skills; familiarity with accounting systems is an advantage
• Mother-tongue or fluent in English (C1 minimum) and French (B1 minimum)
