Senior Accountant (Finnish-speaking), St1 Biokraft - Stockholm

Do you want to assume a key role in a purpose-driven and entrepreneurial organisation? In this position, you will be responsible for hands-on accounting and financial reporting for our Finnish legal entities. You will work both operationally and strategically, playing a vital role in bringing the accounting for our Finnish operations in-house and building a robust financial function to support our rapid growth.

About the Role

As a Senior Accountant, you will be part of an experienced and dedicated finance team based at the St1 Biokraft office at WTC, reporting to the Head of Accounting & Tax in Sweden. Your primary focus will be our Finnish biogas entities - starting with our Finnish sales company and, over time, including project and production companies developed together with our partners.

You will manage daily accounting, reconciliations, and closing activities independently while also contributing to the development of our financial processes and routines. An essential part of the role will be to drive the transition from an external accounting provider in Finland to an efficient in-house set-up. Also, you'll be involved in our system transformation initiative as we plan to roll out Business Central across all joint ventures and subsidiaries to create a harmonised ERP landscape.

Main responsibilities

In this role, you will, for example:

• Manage and take full responsibility for daily accounting for one or more Finnish legal entities
• Prepare and compile monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in line with local requirements and group standards
• Ensure accurate reporting of tax, VAT and other statutory obligations in Finland
• Coordinate with external accounting and audit partners during the transition to in-house accounting
• Support budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis for the Finnish entities
• Implement and monitor internal controls to ensure accuracy and compliance in reporting
• Act as the primary finance contact for our Finnish operations, building strong relationships with stakeholders in both Finland and Sweden
• Support the Head of Accounting & Tax in developing accounting processes, routines and systems
• Contribute to building in-house expertise in consolidation and COGNOS

What we're looking for

To be successful in this role, we believe you have

• A university degree in finance, accounting or similar
• Approximately 5-7 years of experience from qualified accounting roles, preferably in an international or Nordic group
• Solid hands-on experience with Finnish bookkeeping and statutory financial reporting
• Good understanding of Finnish tax, VAT and other local compliance requirements
• Experience from group reporting, knowledge of Swedish GAAP (K3), and/or consolidation is an advantage
• Proficiency in modern accounting systems, preferably Business Central
• A structured, self-driven and solution-oriented mindset, with the ability to work independently and still be a strong team player
• Strong analytical skills and a high sense of responsibility and integrity
• If you have experience in consolidation and/or COGNOS, that is a strong advantage, as we are keen to strengthen our internal capabilities in this area
• You are comfortable navigating Finnish authorities and local regulations while working daily in an English-speaking environment within a Swedish-based team.

Our culture and Values

At St1 Biokraft, we are one team with one dream, working towards one result;

• Be Collaborative - we support each other, share knowledge and succeed together across sites, functions and countries.
• Be Open - we are curious, transparent and eager to learn, embracing change and honest, constructive dialogue.
• Be Commercial - we think and act like entrepreneurs, making fast, fact-based decisions that balance risk and reward and drive sustainable growth.
• Be the Expert - we take ownership, stay close to our operations, and continuously build our capabilities to deliver high-quality in everything we do.

Language skills

Fluency in Finnish and English, both written and spoken, is required. Swedish is a strong advantage.
