Group Accounting Specialist

We are now looking for a new team member willing to take on exciting challenges in an organization committed to deliver quality and efficiency in financial reporting.

Who are we?
Group Accounting & Consolidation is a function within Group Reporting Tax & Control with responsibility for governance of the Volvo Group consolidation process, development, and implementation of accounting policies (IFRS) for the Volvo Group and the external financial reporting including related processes. This responsibility includes ownership of accounting instructions, timetables, and structures in financial systems.

What do we offer?
We offer you an interesting challenge in a global and fast paced environment. You will work with all kinds of interesting and complex accounting issues. Your team is responsible for the accounting of Financial Instruments for the Volvo Group, and several other areas including calculating the cash flow, currency exposure and currency effect for the Volvo Group.

You will contribute to the group’s external reports, presented in English and Swedish, and secure that Volvo Group’s accounting policies are updated and properly applied. You will also contribute with your accounting expertise to ongoing projects in different areas. You are curious and don’t hesitate to embrace complex questions to gain an overall understanding. You are not afraid to take decisions, but you have a feeling for when anchoring is needed.

Within Group Accounting you will be part of a global and diverse team of skilled and high-performance professionals who work with passion and trust each other in an open and positive atmosphere with a lot of discussions and laughs. Even though everyone has their own area of expertise we are willing to give each other a helping hand when needed.

Core responsibilities:
  • Actively participate in the financial reporting process, including closing, make postings in the consolidations system, monthly analysis, and preparation of input to external reports.
  • Cooperation with stakeholders in different parts of the Group to analyze and ensure proper accounting treatment of business transactions.
  • Contribute in setting and maintaining Group accounting policies and develop user-friendly accounting instructions.
  • Communication with external auditors.
  • Ad-Hoc analysis.
  • Participate in projects such as digitalization of the Volvo group processes.
Who are you:
You have an academic degree in accounting with 2-3 years of accounting experience. Experience from multi-cultural and global finance operations is a plus. Since the Volvo Group’s external reports are presented in both English and Swedish you need to be fluent in both languages, verbal and written.
You are positive, flexible, driven and you have a solution-oriented mindset. It is important that you are structured and well-organized and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You have a genuine interest in accounting combined with analytical skills and are looking to develop your skills in these areas.
