Group Accounting Manager

We know it, you know it. Most companies ramble on about purpose and making the world a better place. And pretty often it feels a bit… well, forced. But we’d like to think that our story is special for real.

Our founders, Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, came to Sweden from Syria when they were kids. Books became their compass, guiding them through the maze of life, and helping them shape their destinies in a new world.

Their dream was bold: What if they could unlock the world of books for everyone, making knowledge and inspiration accessible to all? Fast forward a few years, and the tale of Nextory was born.

At Nextory, we've crafted a revolutionary monthly subscription that empowers our users to devour books like never before, be it through reading or listening. It's not just a product; it's a passport to endless adventure and enlightenment.

And now, we're on a quest to find our Group Accounting Manager, someone as passionate as we are about making the world a happier place and enriching lives through the world of reading. Join our extraordinary team, and let's script a future where every day is a chapter of discovery, and every book is a key to a richer life.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
As Group Accounting Manager, you’ll own the Swedish accounting operations, lead group accounting, and oversee monthly and yearly closings. You’ll also spearhead the procurement and onboarding of international accounting firms and manage the full accounting cycle from start to finish.

Beyond the numbers, you’ll tackle international accounting challenges, optimize existing tools and workflows, and automate processes to ensure efficiency and scalability. This is your chance to play a key role in building and transforming our financial framework as the company grows.

If you’re experienced with IFRS, group accounting, and international operations, and thrive in a dynamic environment where you can take ownership and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. You will be part of the Finance team and report directly to the CFO.

WHO YOU ARE

We believe you are currently working in a fast-paced environment but are now ready to take the next step and contribute to an entrepreneurial organization with a long-term vision. You have a strong interest in the full lifecycle of accounting, are proactive in taking initiative, and get things done. You are comfortable leading improvement and change initiatives, thrive on working in a structured manner, and can maintain order in a dynamic environment. To succeed in this role, you should be highly self-sufficient, though the Finance team collaborates closely.

You thrive working in a dynamic and unpretentious environment where you take great responsibility for our product and your team!
