Accounting clerk with an interest in tech, data and development

Do you want to work with accounting – and at the same time help digitalize and improve how we work with finances? Do you thrive at the crossroads of accounting operations, technology and development? Then you may be our new colleague.

About us

You will become part of the Accounting Center under Group Accounting at the University of Copenhagen. We handle accounting tasks for the entire university – from administration to institutes and faculties.

We are about 85 colleagues in Group Accounting, of which about 45 work in the accounting center with close contact to the users. We have an informal culture, help each other and sit in the middle of Copenhagen.

About the role

You will have a role where you work with daily operations and contribute to developing and digitalizing our accounting processes.

We are in full swing with optimizing and modernizing the accounting area – and here you will be an important part of the work. You will work hands-on with operations while participating in projects where we rethink and improve our processes and systems. How your contribution will be distributed between operations and projects will vary over time.

We believe the best solutions are created by those who know everyday life – therefore we combine operations and development.

Your tasks

Operations (hands-on accounting)

• Handling and allocation of invoices in SDI
• Control of travel reimbursements
• Creation of sales invoices
• Support to colleagues and users (English and Danish)

Development and digitalization

• Help develop smarter and more efficient financial processes
• Work with quality, data and improvements
• Develop video tutorials to supplement the written ones

Who are you?

You don’t need to know it all from the start – but we expect that you

• Have a relevant financial education (e.g., financial economist or similar)
• Have some accounting experience – or are a recent graduate with the right motivation
• Are curious about systems, data and digital solutions
• Are structured and pay attention to details
• Have good Excel skills (or a desire to become really good)
• Can communicate clearly in writing and verbally in both Danish and English

And most importantly

• You are not afraid to speak up and engage in dialogue with others
• You take responsibility and can work independently
• You want to influence and develop the way we work
• You thrive in cross-functional collaboration and can communicate effortlessly with both leaders and staff

Extra plus (but not a requirement)

What do you get with us?

You will have a role where you work with both operations and development, and where you can influence digital solutions and workflows. You will join a strong professional environment with great colleagues, with a focus on your development and on new competencies.
