Finance Specialist (50 - 70%)

About the job

Aarau, as the cantonal capital - centrally located between Zurich, Basel, and Bern - is an important economic, cultural, and educational center with a supraregional influence. As a future-oriented and modern employer, the City of Aarau relies on motivated employees.

Due to the reduction of the workload of a long-standing employee, we are looking for a finance specialist as of August 1, 2026, or by agreement.

Your tasks

Together with your colleague, you are responsible for preparing the budget, annual financial statements, and financial planning for nursing homes, the local citizen community, the forestry operation, the regional shooting range, and the ZSO. This also includes participating in commission meetings where you can contribute your expertise. Furthermore, you will manage insurance matters (excluding social insurances) and cash management. Additionally, you will assist with the financial accounting of the municipality and controlling. How you divide the tasks will be discussed together.

Your profile

You have completed a commercial basic education, several years of professional experience, and further training in finance and accounting - e.g., the CAS Public Sector – Financial Specialist Competence or a comparable qualification. It is important that you work independently, precisely, and reliably and keep a cool head during the year-end closing. We appreciate it when you think along and help us improve. If you enjoy working with people from various stakeholder groups, then you are right with us.

What we offer you

You can expect a broad and varied field of work in a helpful and collegial team. We support you in your daily work and promote your professional and personal development. You will work at a modern workplace in the town hall with flexible working hours. Our employment conditions are up to date. In addition, you benefit from numerous perks such as lunch and Reka checks, contributions to fitness subscriptions, and other discounts.
