This is a global role: you will support transactions, postings, and reconciliations across Kandou's multiple legal entities and countries (including Switzerland, the US, UK, Germany, , and Taiwan), not just the Swiss entity — so exposure to multi‑currency and multi‑entity accounting is part of the job.

• Help prepare monthly bank, vendor, and account reconciliations, flagging and following up on discrepancies
• Support the AP/AR cycle, including invoice coding, approvals tracking, and vendor queries
• Assist with the monthly close process under supervision (accruals, prepayments, basic schedules)
• Help maintain accurate, organized supporting documentation for audit and compliance purposes
• Support ad hoc finance projects and administrative tasks as assigned by the team
• Supporting the team in the implementation of AI across finance operations

Required Education

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field

Required Experience

• No prior professional experience required; internships or academic projects in accounting/finance are a plus
• familiarity with accounting principles (debits/credits, journal entries, basic reconciliations)

Required Skills

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers
• working knowledge of Excel
• Eagerness to learn accounting systems and tools (e.g., Microsoft Business Central or similar ERP — training will be provided)
• Eagerness to support AI implementation in finance (e.g., agents or AI-assisted workflows)
• Organized, able to manage multiple small tasks and deadlines
• Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable asking questions and escalating issues
• Team player with a proactive, can‑do attitude

What We Offer

• Direct mentorship from experienced accounting and finance professionals
• Hands‑on exposure to the full transaction‑to‑reporting cycle at a fast‑growing, global semiconductor company
• Hybrid working model
