Job description

Utility is entering an exciting new chapter.

After being part of the Svea Solar Group, we are now an independent company with secured financing of up to EUR 185 million. Our ambition is to expand our operating portfolio of solar PV assets and Battery Energy Storage Systems to more than 2 GW over the next five years, roughly equivalent to the capacity of two large nuclear reactors.

For our Finance team, that means growth, new legal entities and plenty of opportunities to build and improve how we work.

Just to clarify: As Utility became their very own company just recently, their jobs are currently posted through the former owner Svea Solar.

The role and the team

We asked your future Senior Accountant colleague what makes her enjoy the role, and the answer is simple: the people.

Utility consists of 35 colleagues, and the team is a big part of why she enjoys coming to work. There is trust and a strong sense of collaboration. You own your work, while having colleagues around you who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.

As a standalone company, you also have the flexibility to build reports and annual reports in the way that works best for the business, while having a real opportunity to influence processes.

Today, the team works with around 30 legal entities, with many transactions, intercompany flows and reconciliations.

Some days are about getting the basics right across many companies. Others are about solving problems, improving processes or finding smarter ways to work.

As your future colleague puts it: “The challenge isn’t the complexity of the accounting. It’s the volume.” We’re also on the brink of introducing AI into our finance processes, and you’ll have the opportunity to play an important part in that journey. By automating some of the more repetitive, high-volume tasks, AI will hopefully help free up your time to focus on more complex and value-adding accounting work.

Responsibilities

• Overall responsible, together with another colleague, for bookkeeping for assigned business units within Svea Solar Utility.
• Ensure accurate and timely monthly and year-end close.
• Monthly Group reporting and quarterly consolidated reporting.
• Ensure correct balance sheet accounts through detailed reconciliations.
• P&L analysis and accruals.
• VAT reconciliations, filings and periodic EU reporting.
• Participate in completing annual reports and audits.
• Act as bank access administrator, monitoring liquidity and bank accounts and managing payment executions.
• Be part of various projects to identify improvements in processes and systems, for example exploring how AI can improve efficiency.
• Other ad-hoc projects that might arise in a fast-paced finance department.

Requirements

• Proven track record in a senior accounting role.
• Experience working with Swedish GAAP K3.
• Thorough understanding of financial regulations, accounting principles and reporting standards.
• Experience developing and implementing new routines and processes.
• Proficient in business communication in both English and Swedish.

Valuable experience, but not required:

• Experience working in a balance-sheet-heavy business.
• Experience with consolidation and operating in a multi-legal-entity environment with many intercompany flows.
• Experience working in Cognos.

Personal qualities

• Own It: Takes initiative to drive improvements and moves processes forward with a solution-oriented mindset.
• Accuracy: Works systematically and delivers high-quality work across a high volume of accounting tasks, while staying organised and meeting deadlines.
• Create Good Vibes & Do It Together: Contributes to a positive team environment by bringing energy, supporting colleagues and sharing knowledge. Gives both positive and constructive feedback in a respectful and encouraging way.

What We Offer You

• Make a big impact in a growing company. We’re still a relatively lean organisation, which means your ideas, decisions and initiatives can have a real impact on how we grow and work.
• Be part of the energy transition at scale. Contribute to a cleaner energy future through large-scale solar parks and innovative energy solutions.
• Stable benefits, and the best benefit of all: the people. 30 days of vacation, occupational pension, healthcare allowance, parking, the option to work from home up to two days a week, regular after works and, most importantly, an engaged and inclusive team.

About Us
