About this role

The Mission

This is a 360-degree role. You aren't just "doing the books"; you are building the financial infrastructure of a modern global trading entity. Your day-to-day will involve:

  • ERP Evolution: Taking the lead on the configuration and adaptation of Odoo, ensuring the system scales as the business grows.

  • Total Financial Ownership: Managing the full accounting cycle?from daily bookkeeping and bank reconciliations to the preparation of monthly and quarterly management accounts.

  • Global Compliance: Navigating the complexities of both Swiss and EU VAT, corporate tax filings, and pension administration.

  • Operational Backbone: Supporting the business across multiple functions, including HR administration (employment contracts, permit applications) and IT coordination.

  • Strategic Support: Analyzing business models to recommend cost-effective compliance and the minimization of taxes.

Requirements

Who You Are

We are looking for a "nearly there" professional who has the technical foundations but lacks the "startup seat" to prove their impact.

  • The Credentials: You have completed a commercial education with further training in accounting, taxation, or fiduciary services (Fachfrau/Fachmann im Finanz- und Rechnungswesen or Treuhand).

  • The Languages: You are fully fluent in both oral and written German and English. This is essential for handling local Swiss regulations and global business partners.

  • Technical Edge: You are comfortable with Swiss accounting standards (OR) and have a proven background in month-end and year-end closings.

  • The Mindset: You are a self-starter who thrives in a cross-cultural environment and isn't afraid to take on administrative tasks to help the team win.


What's In It For You?
  • Impact: In a startup of this size, your work is visible. Your configuration of the systems and processes today will define the company's operations for years to come.

  • Flexibility: This is a remote-first role, allowing you to manage your own workflow while staying connected to the company's Swiss-based hub.

  • Growth: You will work directly with managers across Supply Chain, Product, and Finance, gaining a 360-degree view of how a global trading business actually works.

Are you ready to build something?

If you have the technical skill and the startup DNA to handle high-level finance alongside operational office support, I want to talk to you.

Apply and let's start the conversation.
