About the Role
We are now looking for an experienced Group Financial Controller to join our growing Finance team at HQ in Stockholm. This is a high-impact role with end-to-end responsibility for group financial control, consolidation, and statutory reporting across our international SaaS group. As we continue our rapid expansion — including the integration of our newly acquired French SaaS business — this role is instrumental in creating scalable and harmonized financial operations across the group.
You will work closely with our CFO and lead a small, distributed finance team across multiple European locations. Alongside core responsibilities, you’ll also take ownership of two strategic initiatives:
- Driving standardized use and optimization of our ERP system (Visma) across all entities.
- Leading the financial integration of our French acquisition.
Candidates who are available to start on short notice will be given priority.
Main Responsibilities
- Lead the monthly group consolidation and internal reporting process (IFRS/local GAAP).
- Oversee statutory reporting and annual audits across multiple jurisdictions.
- Own financial control across subsidiaries: closing, reconciliations, intercompany processes.
- Manage cash reporting and covenant reporting to our financial partners.
- Drive ERP harmonization and ensure consistent system usage across local finance teams.
- Lead financial integration of newly acquired subsidiaries, starting with France.
- Coordinate with external advisors: auditors, tax authorities, legal counsel.
- Manage a team of 8–10 finance professionals and external accounting partners across Europe.
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 5–8 years of experience in international finance roles, preferably in SaaS or audit (Big 4 experience a plus).
- Possess strong technical accounting knowledge (IFRS/local GAAPs).
- Have hands-on experience with ERP systems — Visma experience is highly valued.
- Are confident leading consolidation, audits, and reporting in an international environment.
- Excel at stakeholder communication — from CFOs to local finance staff to auditors.
- Communicate fluently in English, both spoken and written.
Nice to have:
- Experience in M&A financial integration and project management.
- A background in scaling financial operations during periods of high growth.
- Familiarity with Swedish financial and regulatory context is a plus.
A fair and data-driven recruitment process
