• Ensure compliance with Swedish accounting standards, including K2 and K3, as well as relevant VAT, tax and reporting requirements.

• Coordinate the Swedish audit process, preparing documentation and acting as the main contact for auditors and external advisers.

• Strengthen internal controls and standardise accounting processes across the group, identifying risks or discrepancies early.

• Improve and automate financial processes using Fortnox, digital tools and AI, while supporting the introduction of future finance systems.You'll thrive in this role if you
