Your key tasks will be

• Contribute to the administrative processes around budget preparation, accounting and budget follow-up and thereby help ensure a solid financial foundation in Children and Youth.
• Prepare financial analyses, calculations and impact assessments of, among other things, budget proposals, new initiatives and changed financial conditions, including in-depth analyses at schools and day care.

We would like to see that

• You have a relevant academic education in economics and possibly experience from a municipal finance function or similar work with budget preparation, accounting and financial analysis.
• You are analytically strong, have a flair for numbers and the ability to understand a complex economy so you can see connections and deliver well-constructed, accurate calculations.
• You have strong Excel skills, good data understanding and preferably experience with financial systems (we use OPUS).
