Senior Accountant (80 - 100%).

Unlike rigid corporate hierarchies, this organization combines the financial stability of international pharma backing with a high-trust, low-bureaucracy operating culture. In this role, you will hold direct ownership of the Swiss statutory closing process, drive ERP automation initiatives, and act as a pivotal business partner bridging daily operations and financial governance.

Statutory Closings & Financial Reporting: Take full end-to-end responsibility for the monthly, quarterly, and annual closings of the Swiss operating entity under the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR / CO), including accruals, provisions, fixed assets, and intercompany reconciliations.
Tax, VAT & Audit Governance: Prepare and submit Swiss VAT returns, manage statutory tax closings in coordination with external tax advisors, and serve as the lead contact for external auditors.
International Standards Support: Support the corporate transition to international reporting standards, driving reconciliations under IFRS or US GAAP.
ERP & Process Ownership (MS Dynamics 365 Business Central): Act as the internal system owner for the Record-to-Report (R2R) process. Drive hands-on workflow automation, master data integrity, and system enhancements in partnership with the external implementation partner.
Internal Control System (ICS / IKS): Maintain, refine, and document the internal control framework under Swiss legal standards, defining key financial controls and segregation of duties (SoD) across operational finance and ERP workflows.
