About the position

Perido is looking for an Accountant on behalf of our client – a well-known international company in the automotive industry. You will be part of a dedicated and knowledgeable finance team. Your main focus will be to handle accounting and reporting activities, ensuring high-quality financial data and compliance with global standards.

You’ll work in a forward-thinking organization where continuous improvement and collaboration are key values. The office environment is international, dynamic, and open — offering both professional growth and the opportunity to make a real impact. The position is based in Gothenburg.

Your daily tasks

In this role, you will support the company’s operations with financial accounting and reporting services. The work includes preparing, evaluating, and reporting financial figures, as well as participating and providing input in a wide range of projects. You will be involved in monthly and quarterly closing activities within your area of responsibility, following both Swedish GAAP and IFRS.

You will also play an active role in improving and standardizing existing processes. Collaboration will be a key part of your daily work — you’ll work closely with the Global Accounting Centre in Madrid, local country-specific contacts, stakeholders at headquarters, auditors, and tax advisors. During monthly closings, you will take a leading role to ensure high-quality reporting and compliance within your area.

Daily tasks:

• Prepare and perform various accounting and reporting activities
• Lead monthly closings and ensure accurate, timely reporting
• Collaborate with the Global Accounting Centre, local finance teams, auditors, and tax advisors
• Contribute to projects focusing on process improvement and standardization
• Support the implementation and optimization of finance processes and systems

Your characteristics

You are analytical, structured, and have a strong sense of responsibility. You take pride in delivering high-quality results and enjoy working in a role that requires both precision and collaboration. As a team player, you value open communication and knowledge sharing, contributing to a positive and supportive work environment. At the same time, you are proactive and self-driven, with the ability to simplify complex processes and take the lead when needed — especially during tight deadlines and month-end closings. A high level of integrity, a positive attitude, and strong communication skills are key to success in this position.
Qualifications:

• Degree in Business Administration or equivalent
• Extensive experience working with large international companies is an advantage
• Proficiency in SAP R/3 and Hyperion FM
• Solid understanding of finance processes and systems, with the ability to implement and drive them efficiently and effectively
• Strong desire and drive for change, with the ability to manage complex accounting questions in IFRS and handle differences with local market GAAP
• Analytical mindset with strong computer proficiency and ability to grasp the big picture
• Fluency in Swedish and English, both verbal and written

Meritorious:

• Interest in data analysis, automation, and digitalization
• Experience from process improvement or system implementation projects
