WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE

JOE & THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high-energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.

We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do:

• Inclusion
• Growth

For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new, you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.

From your first day, you’ll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through our Moneyball career path, our internal system that tracks your performance and fast-tracks you toward promotion, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!).

If you love fast-paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.

JOB SUMMARY

We're looking for a Lead Technical & Group Accounting Specialist to join our team in Copenhagen. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for our IFRS reporting, technical accounting, and group consolidation activities. You'll serve as a key resource for complex accounting judgements, support group accounting and consolidation process improvements, and help establish best-in-class reporting standards across the group. Reporting to the VP, External Reporting, Controlling and Tax, you'll be part of the Financial Controlling team, delivering high-quality financial reporting, technical accounting expertise, and strong financial governance across an international business. This role is ideal for a former Big 4 auditor with in-house experience who thrives on complexity, is energized by building and improving processes, and wants to work in a fast-paced, international environment at a pivotal moment in the company's growth. The position is a full-time role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own and maintain the Group Accounting Policy Manual under IFRS, ensuring policies are current, documented, and consistently applied across entities.
• Prepare technical accounting position papers and memos on complex or judgement-intensive topics (e.g. IFRS 16 - Leases, IFRS 2 - Share-based payments, IAS 36 - Impairment testing, IFRS 15 - Revenue).
• Serve as the primary internal resource for technical IFRS queries from regional controllers, FP&A, and business stakeholders.
• Support the preparation and review of consolidated financial statements under IFRS for internal and external purposes.
• Own intercompany processes, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Assist in going concern assessments and non-GAAP measure definitions.
• Coordinate with external auditors on audit queries, technical memos, and supporting documentation.
• Support the design and documentation of financial reporting controls as part of the company's ICFR.
• Drive continuous improvement in the group close and reporting process, leveraging tools including D365 F&O, Trullion, Konsolidator, and FloQast.

WHO YOU ARE

• 8+ years of experience in technical accounting, group reporting, or audit, with a strong IFRS foundation.
• Hands-on experience with group consolidation processes and multi-entity reporting.
• State authorized public accountant, CPA, chartered accountant, ACCA, or equivalent professional qualification; Big Four background strongly preferred.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Deep working knowledge of core IFRS standards including IFRS 16, IFRS 15, IFRS 2, IAS 36, IAS 38, IAS 32, and IFRS 3, with proven experience preparing or reviewing technical accounting memos and position papers.
• Strong analytical mindset with exceptional attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience supporting an IPO or capital markets transaction, familiarity with SOX/ICFR frameworks, and exposure to D365 F&O, Konsolidator, FloQast, or similar tools are all a plus - as is proficiency in Danish or another Nordic language.

OUR BENEFITS

We offer a benefits package that includes a paid pension plan, health insurance, parental leave, and additional vacation. Besides that, we provide some JOE-ified benefits:

• Our global headquarters is conveniently located in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, where over 200 friendly faces come together!
• Fantastic office facilities, including a fully staffed JOE & THE JUICE bar, where we serve delicious breakfast, daily lunch, refreshing juices, and top-notch barista coffee.
• At JOE, we embrace a flat hierarchy that values every opinion, creating a welcoming space for your ideas and suggestions to thrive.
• Lively monthly social calendar filled with fun activities like running club, wine tasting, creative evenings, and Friday bars - there's always something exciting happening!
