Our client is an established, owner-managed corporate group from the industry-related service sector.

• Experience: Many years of practice (ideally 6+ years) in Swiss finance and payroll, preferably in an environment with several operating companies (holding or SSC structure).

• Expertise: Proficient in OR financial statements, profound knowledge of Swiss social insurance law and solid VAT practice.

• Working Style: You appreciate direct, collegial interaction on site (presence workplace), work reliably, structured and keep an overview even with deadline-driven tasks.

• Work Environment: A modern, personal workplace in a two-person office within a collegial, manageable SSC team with short decision-making paths.

• Working Hours: Attractive annual working time model with a regular 42-hour week, ideally compatible with a part-time workload of 60% to 80%.

• Financial Extras: Attractive participation and bonus models (success and health bonuses) as well as continuous support for further training.
