About the Role

We are now looking for an experienced Financial Controller for our Nordics region to join our growing Finance team at HQ in Stockholm. We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Financial Controller to support our Nordic operations. As part of the Group Chief Accountant’s team, you will take responsibility for the accounting and financial control of our Swedish entities, while also coordinating external accounting partners in Norway, Estonia, and Finland. This role offers hands-on involvement in day-to-day finance operations, reporting, and cash management in a dynamic and international environment.

Main Responsibilities

• Full ownership of accounting and financial reporting for Swedish legal entities
• Overseeing third-party accountants and ensuring accurate reporting in Norway, Estonia, and Finland
• Managing and developing a junior accountant, ensuring quality and timeliness of work
• Monitoring and managing cash flow across Nordic entities, including liquidity planning and forecasting

• Supporting monthly and year-end close processes
• Ensuring compliance with local accounting standards and tax regulations
• Assisting in internal control improvements and financial process development

Who are you?

At Assessio, we believe in potential. While experience matters, your drive, curiosity, and collaborative mindset are what truly set you apart.

You are a structured, energetic, and pragmatic team player- someone who thrives in a dynamic international setting. You're hands-on when needed, but also capable of leading and inspiring remote teams. You enjoy simplifying complexity, taking ownership of strategic processes, and are comfortable managing cross-border collaboration.

We believe you’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Hold a university degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Have 3–5 years of experience in international finance roles, preferably in SaaS or audit (Big 4 experience is a plus).

• Solid understanding of Swedish accounting standards and experience working with external service providers in other countries

• Have hands-on experience with ERP systems — Visma experience is highly valued.
• Strong Excel skills and familiarity with accounting systems
• Fluency in Swedish and English, both written and spoken
• Strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and ability to work independently

A fair and data-driven recruitment process

We practice what we preach. That’s why you will be asked to complete three short assessments (personality, cognitive ability, and motivation) - a process that takes around 50 minutes and ensures a fair, unbiased selection based on potential rather than background alone.

We look forward to getting in touch!
