Experienced controller for project accounting for NGOs – Copenhagen

On behalf of a company in Inner Copenhagen, we are seeking an experienced and independent controller/bookkeeper who can step into the ongoing finance function.

The company handles the financial function for 10-12 clients, several of whom are NGOs or NGO-like organizations. Some of them work with projects funded by public and private foundations, and the job therefore includes both classic bookkeeping and project-oriented accounting tasks.

The task

You perform ongoing bookkeeping and payroll accounting for several different end-clients. It is not pure voucher posting. The funds from the foundations are earmarked, so the vouchers must be posted to the correct project, and you must be able to determine which one yourself. The projects typically run from six months to two years, and accounts must be reported to the foundations along the way.

Your tasks

• Ongoing bookkeeping and handling of vouchers
• Accounts receivable, accounts payable and payroll accounting
• Bank and balance reconciliations and monthly closings
• Posting and bookkeeping on projects
• Handling of income and contributions from public and private foundations
• Project accounting, documentation and reporting to foundations
• Daily contact with clients via email and phone
• Possibly controller tasks, financial reporting and follow-up

We are looking for

An accounting-responsible bookkeeper, not a voucher-only bookkeeper. You are strong in debit/credit and project accounting, and you can work independently without someone looking over your shoulder. You must be able to see when a handling instruction from a client does not add up, and say it out loud. Experience with e-conomic and Uniconta is an advantage, and experience with fund accounting or the NGO sector is a clear plus.

The framework

We naturally prefer that you work at the office in Inner Copenhagen, where the rest of the team sits, but a large part of the work can be performed from home in combination with Teams meetings, so that is definitely also an option. PC, mobile and other equipment are provided.

Does that sound like something for you?

We conduct interviews on an ongoing basis and fill the position as soon as we find the right match. If you have questions, you are welcome to call Jesper Stig at 3146 0015. We would be happy to share more about the client in an initial conversation.

Start: as soon as possible or by agreement.
