Job description

Kandou is redefining AI infrastructure through innovative interconnect technologies that significantly reduce power consumption while maintaining high bandwidth and ultra-low latency. Our mission is to make AI systems more scalable, efficient, and accessible.

For our Headquarter in Saint-Sulpice, we are actively looking for a Junior/Graduate Accountant.

Role Overview

We are looking for a motivated recent graduate to join the Finance team as a Junior/Graduate Accountant. This is an entry-level role, ideal for someone early in their career who wants hands‑on exposure to day‑to‑day accounting and finance operations. 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, India, and Taiwan), not just the Swiss entity — so exposure to multi‑currency and multi‑entity accounting is part of the job. You will be a key member of a small Finance team, gradually building toward full ownership of core bookkeeping tasks as you grow in the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Support processing of vendor payments and transactions across multiple Kandou entities/countries (e.g., invoice entry, payment runs, matching to purchase orders)
• Assist with posting journal entries and routine general ledger transactions
• 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
• Basic familiarity with accounting principles (debits/credits, journal entries, basic reconciliations)

Required Skills

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers
• Good 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

If you recognize yourself in the description above, and love to be part of a growing Company, are a good team player with an upbeat approach to life, we would love to hear from you. Together We Kandou It!
