Job description

We are looking for a curious and engaged intern to join our Accounts Payable (AP) team at our HQ in Gothenburg this autumn. You will get hands‑on experience in our day‑to‑day AP work, supporting the team across invoice handling, supplier communication, reconciliations, and process improvements - including our upcoming switch to a new invoice scanning system.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

During your internship, you will learn how the invoice flow works end‑to‑end – from receiving and matching to approving, booking, and paying. You will get hands‑on experience with invoice handling and basic account coding, supported by the team, and learn how to manage supplier communication and resolve common invoice and payment question. You will also work with reconciliations and follow‑ups that support month‑end closing, and gain a broad understanding of how the AP function supports a multi‑channel business across retail stores, e‑commerce, and wholesale. On top of that, you will get exposure to process improvement work – including our upcoming change to a new invoice scanning system.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Support the team with reviewing and processing invoices, ensuring accuracy and compliance with company policies.
• Help reconcile vendor accounts to statements and follow up on discrepancies alongside the AP team.
• Assist with structured supplier follow‑ups – confirming invoice details and supporting timely approvals and payments.
• Contribute to basic AP reporting – simple lists, checks, and trend summaries that feed into internal reporting.
• Support preparation work for the rollout of the new invoice scanning system. Collaborate across the finance team to keep the workflow running smoothly during month‑end and beyond.

ARE YOU THE ONE?

• Ongoing studies in finance, accounting, business administration, or a related field (university or YH).
• Basic Excel skills and confidence working in digital tools and systems; experience with ERP or invoice handling tools is a plus, but not required.
• Clear, service‑minded communication when collaborating with colleagues and suppliers.
• Structured and detail‑oriented, with the ability to follow routines and spot inconsistencies.
• Curious mindset, comfortable asking questions, learning from feedback, and growing your skills step‑by‑step.
