Who are you?
At Assessio, we believe in potential. While experience matters, your drive, curiosity, and collaborative mindset are what truly set you apart.
You are a structured, energetic, and pragmatic team player- someone who thrives in a dynamic international setting. You're hands-on when needed, but also capable of leading and inspiring remote teams. You enjoy simplifying complexity, taking ownership of strategic processes, and are comfortable managing cross-border collaboration.
We believe you’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Hold a university degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Have 3–5 years of experience in international finance roles, preferably in SaaS or audit (Big 4 experience is a plus).

- Fluency in Swedish and English, both written and spoken
- Strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and ability to work independently
A fair and data-driven recruitment process
We practice what we preach. That’s why you will be asked to complete three short assessments (personality, cognitive ability, and motivation) - a process that takes around 50 minutes and ensures a fair, unbiased selection based on potential rather than background alone.
