Overview

We’re seeking a skilled and supportive accountant to join our Chicago office. In this role, you won’t just ensure the financials are accurate. You’ll be a vital link between our business units and shared services. From payroll and reconciliations to onboarding and local office support, you’ll play a central role in keeping things running smoothly as we grow in the US.

Key responsibilities

• Supporting the IT team as a hands-on local resource.

• Assisting the head of operations with administrative tasks.

• Collaborating with both shared services and business units, acting as the glue that helps the organization stay connected and agile.

Your success in this role will be measured by the accuracy and timeliness of your work—and your ability to be a trusted, valued team player in the office.

Your background

You bring over five years of experience in finance roles and a solid educational background in accounting or financial management. You’ve worked in global or cross-functional environments, and you know how to get things done. Both independently and with others.

What sets you apart is your ability to:

• Work proactively and keep tasks moving forward

• Stay organized and focused when juggling multiple priorities

• Offer support wherever needed, even beyond your core responsibilities

• Communicate clearly and collaborate across teams

• Use tools like Excel, ERP systems, and Outlook efficiently
