About this role
Would you like to kick-start your career in a global, publicly listed company where you get the opportunity to learn a lot, quickly and broadly?
Ascom develops mission critical, near real time solutions used in hospitals, elderly care, correctional facilities and other demanding environments. We’ve been innovating for over 160 years and have 1300+ employees globally; in Sweden we’re ~240 colleagues with deep domain expertise. We are now looking for a newly graduated or junior finance professional who wants to grow with us in a broad and developmental role within accounting and finance.
This is a perfect opportunity for you who are in the final phase of your studies and may be able to start part-time already now/as soon as possible, with the ambition to transition to full-time after graduation this summer.
A broad start to your finance career
You will become part of a small, skilled team where you work closely with experienced colleagues and quickly build a holistic understanding of finance in an international environment.

Preparing weekly and monthly reports
