This is a hands-on finance role sitting at the heart of Reach for Change's Swedish operations.

The role combines operational accounting, financial reporting, grant finance, budgeting, compliance, and business partnering. It is well suited to someone who wants genuine ownership of a finance function and finds purpose in work that has real social impact behind it.

Fluency in both Swedish and English, written and spoken, is a requirement for the role.

Qualifications & Experience

We are looking for someone with:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field

• At least 2 years of relevant experience in accounting, financial reporting, and financial analysis. We are open to candidates earlier in their career who bring strong technical foundations and real ambition to grow into a role with full ownership

• Good knowledge of Swedish accounting regulations, tax legislation, and statutory reporting requirements (Årsredovisningslagen)

• Advanced Excel skills and strong systems proficiency

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

• Fluency in both Swedish and English, written and spoken

It is a bonus if you have:

• Experience from an NGO, non-profit, or international organisation

• Experience working with grants, donor reporting, and restricted funding environments

• Experience working with ERP systems; NetSuite experience is considered a strong advantage

• Experience using AI tools to improve or streamline finance processes

We believe you are:

• Structured and detail-oriented, with a high bar for accuracy

• A self-starter who takes ownership and drives work independently

• Analytical and solution-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Collaborative and adaptable in a fast-paced international environment

• A strong communicator who can explain financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders

• Eager to grow with the role and motivated by work that creates real change

What We Offer

• A finance function you can genuinely shape, not just maintain
