Accountabilities:
  • Review contracts and business arrangements to determine their accounting implications, with particular focus on revenue recognition under IFRS 15 and lease accounting under IFRS 16.

  • Research IFRS guidance and prepare technical accounting memos and position papers covering revenue, leases, impairment, provisions, consolidation, related parties, and other relevant accounting topics.

  • Support month-end close activities through trial balance reviews, account analysis, and identification of unusual, complex, or judgmental items.

  • Prepare and review consolidation entries, including intercompany eliminations, reclassifications, accruals, and other group reporting adjustments.

  • Coordinate with external auditors during year-end processes, including local statutory audits and group audit requirements.

  • Prepare audit support materials, gather evidence, participate in walkthroughs, and help resolve auditor questions efficiently.

  • Work cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Tax, FP&A, and business teams to understand transactions and evaluate their accounting impact.

  • Support technical accounting and broader finance projects as required.

  • Maintain and update accounting policies in line with new and evolving accounting standards.

About Jobgether

Industry: Internet Marketplace Platforms

Company size: 11-50 employees

Jobgether is a career navigation platform built for senior professionals competing in the remote job market. Hiring systems were designed for volume and keyword matching, not for 15 or 20 years of nonlinear experience. That structural mismatch is why strong profiles get filtered out before a human ever sees them. Our platform diagnoses where a search is breaking, corrects how experience is positioned, and connects professionals to the companies where their background creates real value. The goal is not more applications. It is the right visibility in the right places. Our mission is to ensure no senior professional remains invisible in the global remote market, not because they lack the skills, but because the system failed to read them correctly.
