Would you like to kick-start your career in a global, publicly listed company where you get the opportunity to learn a lot, quickly and broadly?

Ascom develops mission critical, near real time solutions used in hospitals, elderly care, correctional facilities and other demanding environments. We’ve been innovating for over 160 years and have 1300+ employees globally; in Sweden we’re ~240 colleagues with deep domain expertise. We are now looking for a newly graduated or junior finance professional who wants to grow with us in a broad and developmental role within accounting and finance.

This is a perfect opportunity for you who are in the final phase of your studies and may be able to start part-time already now/as soon as possible, with the ambition to transition to full-time after graduation this summer.

A broad start to your finance career

You will become part of a small, skilled team where you work closely with experienced colleagues and quickly build a holistic understanding of finance in an international environment.

Your responsibilities will include, among others:

• Posting and processing journal entries

• Working with accounts receivable and accounts payable, including reconciliations

• Assisting with monthly and yearly closings and audits

• Preparing weekly and monthly reports

• Updating and ensuring the quality of financial data in our systems

• Supporting senior accountants in daily operational work

The role is junior, but broad, giving you the opportunity to work on a variety of tasks, learn quickly, and gradually take on more responsibility.

Who are you?

Who we are looking for:

• Have (or will soon complete) a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration or a related field

• Have very strong Excel skills (pivots, formulas, e.g. VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP)

• Are comfortable using the MS Office suite

• Are fluent in Swedish and comfortable with English, written and spoken
  (Swedish is the department’s common working language but English is our corporate language)

Equally important is who you are as a person. We are looking for someone who is:

• Curious, eager to learn, and flexible

• Helpful and down-to-earth willing to step in where needed

• Socially confident and able to collaborate with different types of people

• Comfortable sharing ideas, and also able to say no when frameworks and priorities require it

Why Ascom?

• You will learn an incredible amount about finance and business in a global company

• A small department means broad exposure and real responsibility

• You will work in an international, complex matrix organization

• Daily interaction with colleagues and operations across all regions worldwide

• A strong foundation for your future career - with the possibility to grow with us

Quite simply, we want you to thrive and grow with us.
