• FP&A & Reporting: Active participation in the budgeting process, preparation of variance analyses, and compilation of reports for management.

• Process & System Optimisation: Analysis, development, and digital optimisation of internal financial processes and the ERP system.

• Technical Support: Taking on coordination tasks, quality assurance, and supporting the department management in daily operations.

• Expertise: Solid, several years of practical experience in financial statement assurance according to Swiss GAAP FER and OR.

• IT Skills: Proficient use of Abacus ERP and very good MS Excel skills are required.

• Mindset & Ambition: Strong affinity for numbers, hands-on mentality, and a pronounced motivation to advance personally and professionally and gradually grow into a higher role (e.g. department management).

• Industry Plus: Experience in project environments (e.g. architecture, engineering, consulting, or construction) is an advantage but not a must.

• Languages: Confident German skills in spoken and written form.

• Exciting development opportunities: Plenty of room for initiative, professional deepening, and the prospect of gradually taking on leadership and coordination responsibilities.

• Attractive working conditions: Flexible working hours (flexitime), 1–2 days home office (by arrangement), as well as compensable bridge days and company holidays between Christmas and New Year.

• Holidays & Extras: 5 weeks holiday (6 weeks from age 50), performance bonuses, and travel discounts (half-fare card / GA).
