Payroll Accountant
One of Nordic Investin’s partner companies is looking for a Payroll Accountant, with Nordic Investin leading the recruitment process. You know that payroll accounting must be both technically correct and explainable when employees, auditors or finance leaders ask what changed. You will ensure accurate postings, investigate differences and improve controls across the monthly cycle. Work should withstand review, make ownership clear and reduce the recurring manual effort or uncertainty that weakens later reporting and decisions. As a specialist, you will own a defined professional area and be trusted to move work forward independently. You are expected to recognise when a question requires wider expertise, explain recommendations clearly and improve the methods or tools used by colleagues around you. What you will do
Reconcile payroll files, accounts and payment information. Review payroll postings and allocate costs correctly. Investigate differences across HR, payroll and finance systems. Prepare accruals, provisions and reporting schedules. Maintain payroll accounting controls and documentation. Coordinate payroll providers, HR and entity finance teams. What you will bring
Experience in payroll accounting or finance with substantial payroll responsibility. Understanding of payroll related taxes and provisions. Ability to handle sensitive information securely. Advanced spreadsheet and systems capability. Professional English; Swedish payroll knowledge is valuable. Experience that would add value
Multi country or multi entity payroll. Outsourced payroll provider governance. ERP or payroll system implementation. A background that can succeed here
Your background may sit in payroll, accounting, finance operations or audit. What makes the opportunity interesting
You will own an area with high visibility and little tolerance for ambiguity. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
