In this role you'll own the statutory accounting of the Swiss holding structure under the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), technical and varied work spanning OR-driven reporting, VAT and tax, and the accounting behind M&A and IP-related transactions. US GAAP exposure is a genuine plus, but Swiss OR expertise is what this role is built on.

You'll work closely with an international team across LATAM and the US, in a hands-on role for someone who genuinely loves accounting and wants to help shape the function.

• Own statutory accounting for the Swiss holding entities under Swiss OR
• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual closings for the Swiss entities
• Prepare statutory financial statements and group reporting packages, bridging to US GAAP where required
• Manage Swiss VAT, corporate tax, and withholding tax obligations, including related returns and filings
• Coordinate external and internal audits, and strengthen internal controls in line with SOX requirements
• Act as a genuine finance partner to teams in Switzerland and across the wider organization in LATAM and the US

What you bring

Must haves:

• Deep, hands-on expertise in Swiss OR
• Swiss Certified Public Accountant or Treuhand (Swiss Certified Fiduciary) qualification
• Native or fluent German, and fluent English
• Comfortable representing a Swiss domicile with external auditors and authorities
• Several years of relevant accounting experience in local international structure

Strong Advantage:

• Experience from a treuhand, audit, or holding company background
• Proficiency with SAP S/4HANA
• US GAAP knowledge

As a Person

You're proud to be an accountant, still close to the detail of the postings, not just the oversight. You're structured but not rigid, comfortable proposing improvements and pushing back constructively when something doesn't add up.

You enjoy dialogue, value honest feedback, and like being part of a team that solves problems together.

We know strong candidates don't always tick every box.

If most of this describes you, we encourage you to apply, regardless of gender, age, nationality, or career path.

Please note that due to holidays no feedback will be given before 10th of August.
