Are you excited to contribute your skills in a fast-paced and creative environment? If so, then you want to join us, and we want you!
As the Head of Accounting, you’ll hold comprehensive responsibility for the work within the finance department. You’ll oversee a talented finance team, manage statutory accounting, and ensure timely internal and external reporting. You’ll be part of the executive management team, playing an important role in decision-making and strategic planning. The role is based in Helsingborg and includes occasional travel to our offices in Wroclaw and Palma, enhancing collaboration with our international teams, external accounting firms, legal contracts, and banks.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We are looking for a proactive and driven accounting professional who is ready to take the next step in their career. You might have experience leading a smaller team or shown leadership in project-based roles and are eager to take on greater responsibilities. This role is not just strategic; it also requires hands-on work to ensure smooth daily operations and high-quality financial practices. The ideal candidate is always looking for ways to optimize workflows, leverage AI tools, and implement innovative solutions. You should be able to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.
Even if you don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. At Sembo, we value potential and the right attitude just as much as qualifications.
