Job description

Do you enjoy owning the full accounting process for your own companies, from reconciliations to closing, and want to use those skills to accelerate the transition to renewable energy?

Welcome to Alight! We're an entrepreneurial Solar and BESS IPP (Independent Power Producer) with a clear mission: to kick carbon off the grid by helping businesses switch to solar and batteries from day one.

As a Financial Accountant, you will take operational responsibility for a portfolio of around 10‑20 companies within the group, with full accounting ownership for each. Working closely with the AP/AR function, Treasury and other support functions, you will be the primary point of contact for your companies while owning the numbers behind them, with the flexibility to also support on other activities across the group as needed.

This role is based at our HQ in central Stockholm, with the flexibility of a hybrid setup.

Your impact

• Owning the books for a defined portfolio of entities, in accordance with local GAAP.
• Running ongoing accounting for your companies: accruals, depreciation, VAT returns, reconciliations, and monthly and annual closing work.
• Handling accounting for assets, project tagging and transaction traceability.
• Acting as the primary contact for your companies, staying on top of everything happening within them.
• Working closely with AP/AR, Treasury and other support functions, while retaining overall responsibility for your entities' figures.
• Supporting accounts payable/receivable across the group as needed, including invoices, payments and collections.
• Providing backup across shared functions.
• Contributing to process improvement across the accounting function.

We're looking for you

You are an early-career talent with clear drive and a willingness to take ownership of your own companies. You're structured and meticulous, with a strong sense of order in reconciliation work, and you're proactive: you see what needs to be done and take the initiative to improve processes and ways of working.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 2‑4 years of experience from audit and/or qualified accounting; an audit background as a stepping stone into the role is welcome.
• Experience with AP/AR flows (high invoice volumes, project accounting, supplier ledgers) and hands‑on reconciliation work is an advantage.
• Academic background in accounting or auditing (bachelor's or master's) is a strong plus.
• Experience from an accounting firm or audit practice is a clear advantage.
• Interest in driving improvement across the function, including making use of AI tools.
• Fluent in Swedish and English.
• Based in or able to work primarily from our Stockholm office, on a hybrid basis.
