Senior Accountant

Utility is entering an exciting new chapter.

After being part of the Svea Solar Group, we are now an independent company with secured financing of up to EUR 185 million. Our ambition is to expand our operating portfolio of solar PV assets and Battery Energy Storage Systems to more than 2 GW over the next five years, roughly equivalent to the capacity of two large nuclear reactors.

For our Finance team, that means growth, new legal entities and plenty of opportunities to build and improve how we work.

Just to clarify: As Utility became their very own company just recently, their jobs are currently posted through the former owner Svea Solar.

The role and the team

We asked your future Senior Accountant colleague what makes her enjoy the role, and the answer is simple: the people.

Utility consists of 35 colleagues, and the team is a big part of why she enjoys coming to work. There is trust and a strong sense of collaboration. You own your work, while having colleagues around you who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.

As a standalone company, you also have the flexibility to build reports and annual reports in the way that works best for the business, while having a real opportunity to influence processes.

Today, the team works with around 30 legal entities, with many transactions, intercompany flows and reconciliations.

Some days are about getting the basics right across many companies. Others are about solving problems, improving processes or finding smarter ways to work.

As your future colleague puts it: "The challenge isn't the complexity of the accounting. It's the volume." We're also on the brink of introducing AI into our finance processes, and you'll have the opportunity to play an important part in that journey. By automating some of the more repetitive, high-volume tasks, AI will hopefully help free up your time to focus on more complex and value-adding accounting work.
