Senior Accountant - Investment Company

Open

80,000 - 100,000

We have an excellent opportunity to join an investment company in Luxembourg City centre.

Our client, investing in European infrastructure projects, seeks an additional member to join the Finance Team. The team is small, so your role will be varied and include the A-Z of accounting and include complex tasks. You will gain exposure to the investments held in the holding companies, the transactions themselves and experience a fast learning curve.

It’s a small friendly team, you will be given autonomy in your tasks and have flexibility in the office. They operate a flexi-time arrangement where some weeks will be busy and have tight deadlines and others which will be much quieter when you can leave the office early (hence the flexi-time concept). They are flexible for personal appointments and take a mature, trust approach with colleagues.

As the office is small, the position requires a hands-on attitude, where everyone works together and supports each other to the benefit of the business, whilst developing additional skills and knowledge.

Sound knowledge of IFRS, Microsoft Excel and an understanding of the valuation process is required (you will be tested on each of these)

Responsibilities:

• You will work closely with the Head of Finance, working on all areas of accounting and reporting functions at the company, plus some financial control elements
• Be responsible for the corporate accounting of the Luxembourg entities and direct foreign subsidiaries
• Build a lasting and beneficial relationship with service providers to generate high quality service delivery
• Supervision of auditing and consolidation requirements for the group of entities
• Develop and maintain efficient internal controls and business processes
• Identify and help solve critical local accounting, reporting, and operational issues
• Supervision of Bank Transfer system and process, Tax reporting management and Cash management
• Develop and maintain strong relationship with advisors and third parties as appropriate
• Participation of monthly and quarterly regulatory reporting

• 8-10+ years of accounting and reporting experience for alternative investment structures (holding companies [SPVs], or financing companies)
• Strong accounting knowledge of Luxembourg holding companies within real assets or infrastructure
• Strong practical experience of IFRS and Lux GAAP (you will be tested)
• 5+ years working in Luxembourg is essential
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills are needed (you will be tested)
• Fluent English
• Team orientated, able to work in an unstructured environment, willing to get involved
• Strong communication skills, be confident, yet demonstrate humility and be keen to learn
• Take accountability of your tasks and responsibilities
