• Taking a central role in preparing the group annual report, including reconciliations and working with external auditors
• Working with colleagues and advisors on tax and transfer pricing documentation
• Ensuring compliance with Danish GAAP (ÅRL), local GAAP, and IFRS
• Developing and maintaining robust internal controls and driving process improvements

What we hope to see you bring

We are looking for a finance professional with international experience, ideally from group-level consolidation.

Here is what we hope you bring:

• You have around 7 + years of experience from a corporate environment, working in finance or controlling
• Ideally, you also have audit experience, from a Big Four firm or elsewhere
• You have worked with internal controls and compliance
• You have good knowledge of international tax, transfer pricing, and Danish GAAP (ÅRL)
• You are strong in MS Office, and knowing SAP or OneStream is a plus
• You enjoy using AI tools in your daily work, for example for analysis, reporting, or automating processes
• You like improving processes and finding smarter ways of working
• You are happy to roll up your sleeves and dive into the details, while still keeping the bigger picture in mind
• You are curious and not afraid to challenge how things are done today
• You stay calm and keep an eye for detail, even when things get busy
• You have a degree in finance, such as a Bachelor's or HD
• You communicate well in English, and Danish is a plus

Personal attributes
