## Description

## Job Overview

As a Senior Accountant at Helsing, you will be the backbone of our financial reporting, taking full ownership of the trial balance, complex reconciliations, and the month-end close cycle. You will be a hands-on technical expert who ensures the integrity of our financial data, maintains a pristine balance sheet, and ensures compliance with all relevant accounting standards.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own and drive the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, ensuring all deadlines are met and financial statements are accurate.

- Prepare and post complex, high-value general ledger entries, including subjective accruals, deferred revenue, prepayments, and intercompany transactions.

- Perform and review critical balance sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies independently.

- Manage intercompany accounting, including transfer pricing adjustments, loan agreements, and multi-currency reconciliations.

- Assist in the preparation of consolidated statutory financial statements and regulatory filings in accordance with local GAAP and IFRS.

- Act as the lead coordinator for the annual external audit, managing the preparation of the PBC list and resolving complex audit queries.

- Continuously evaluate and optimise GL processes, chart of accounts, and financial systems to drive efficiency and automate manual tasks.

- Ensure strict adherence to internal controls, SOX compliance, and financial policies across the organisation.

## Requirements

- Qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) with at least 5–7 years of post-qualification experience, with a proven track record in a complex, multi-entity GL environment.

- Exceptionally organised, hands-on professional who can manage the entire close process independently with minimal oversight.

- Deep and comprehensive understanding of accounting principles (local GAAP and IFRS) and statutory reporting requirements.

- Extensive experience utilising enterprise-level ERP systems and advanced financial modelling in Excel.

- Meticulous eye for detail, ensuring the balance sheet is fully supported, reconciled, and clean at all times.

- Excellent time-management skills, with a demonstrated ability to prioritise tasks under pressure during tight close cycles.

## Nice to Have

- Experience participating in ERP migrations, system upgrades, or the implementation of specialised modules.

- Familiarity with Robotic Process Automation tools or basic scripting to automate repetitive month-end tasks.

- Experience working in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment with exposure to foreign exchange accounting and intercompany transactions.

- A track record of identifying inefficiencies in financial workflows and successfully driving process-improvement initiatives.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options.

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation.

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance.

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support.

- Social: regularly company events and monthly social allowances.
