Financial Accountant

Do you want a broad accounting role with significant responsibility and excellent development opportunities?

If you are an experienced accounting professional who enjoys taking ownership, working independently, and being part of a collaborative team, this could be exactly the opportunity you have been looking for.

At Gubra, we are experiencing continued growth and development. As our business expands, so do the opportunities for our employees to develop professionally and take on increasing responsibility. We are therefore looking for a Financial Accountant to join our Finance team and contribute to maintaining a high level of quality, compliance, and operational excellence across our group companies.

In this role, you will become part of our finance function where teamwork, trust, and continuous improvement are highly valued.

A broad accounting role with responsibility across multiple areas

As Financial Accountant, you will be responsible for a variety of accounting and controlling activities spanning day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations, month-end closing activities, reporting support, and audit preparation.

You will have ownership of your own areas while working closely with your colleagues in Finance. We take pride in supporting one another and working together to ensure successful month-end closings, reporting deadlines, audits, and daily operations.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Managing accounts receivable, including invoicing, cash registrations, reminders, and communication with customers' finance departments
• Maintaining and managing the fixed asset register, including verification of physical assets and correct accounting treatment
• Handling lease accounting in accordance with IFRS 16
• Performing foreign currency revaluations on currency accounts
• Acting as system owner for Corpay, PLEO, and e-conomic
• Preparing statutory and regulatory reporting, including submissions to Statistics Denmark and other authorities
• Supporting colleagues with accounting- and finance-related questions
• Participating in month-end closing activities, reconciliations, and audit preparation
• Contributing to process improvements, internal controls, and finance-related projects
• Supporting ad hoc tasks across the group's legal entities

As you grow in the role, you will have the opportunity to expand your responsibilities and actively influence how we develop our finance processes and controls.

An experienced accounting professional with a proactive mindset

Naturally, we are looking for someone with the right professional qualifications. However, your approach to work and collaboration is equally important.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, follows through on commitments, and enjoys working in an environment that combines structured routines with changing priorities and deadlines.

In addition, you bring:

• You likely have 5+ years of experience from a finance function where you have worked independently with bookkeeping, reconciliations, month-end closing, and financial controls.
• Strong Excel skills and experience with financial systems
• A structured and detail-oriented approach to your work
• The ability to work independently and take responsibility for your areas
• A positive and collaborative mindset with a willingness to support colleagues across the organization
• Professional communication skills in both Danish and English, written and spoken

Experience from an international company with entities in multiple countries is considered an advantage, but not a requirement. Likewise, experience with Corpay, PLEO, and/or e-conomic is beneficial but not essential.

We are particularly interested in someone who is curious and analytical. You notice when something does not look right, investigate the underlying cause, and work proactively to find a solution rather than simply reporting the deviation.

Your new team

You will join a Finance team consisting of four colleagues, including yourself. We work closely together, share knowledge, and support one another in delivering high-quality financial operations.

The role can be structured as either a full-time or part-time position (32-37 hours per week), depending on your preferences and qualifications.

We look forward to welcoming a colleague who enjoys being part of a team while maintaining ownership of their own responsibilities.

What we offer

• A broad and independent role in a collaborative Finance team
• A full-time or part-time position (32-37 hours per week)
• Real responsibility and ownership from day one
• The opportunity to influence processes, workflows, and internal controls
• Flexible working arrangements, including the possibility of working from home
• Ongoing opportunities to develop your role and responsibilities
• An informal and positive working environment
• Dedicated colleagues and a strong team spirit
• Competitive salary based on qualifications
• Pension scheme and health insurance
• Start date as soon as possible, although we are happy to wait for the right candidate
