What do we offer you?

We offer you a versatile job description and field of work in a profitably growing publicly listed company. Admicom Group's finance team is a tight-knit team of skilled experts in Helsinki and Jyväskylä. We are responsible for all tasks of the Group's finance function and cooperate extensively with the rest of the organization to develop smooth and efficient processes. We actively strive to reduce the time spent on routine tasks and focus on improving the efficiency of processes that promote the Group's business. We make the changes required by our business operations in an agile manner and take care of our obligations based on legislation and regulation carefully and with a good attitude.

Our team works both from the office and remotely. In this role, we value the fact that the person themselves feels that working together with others from the office is an effective way to promote ongoing projects and create relationships. When supporting product management and product development, it is important to be available and reachable at the office while maintaining flexibility for personal needs.

What do you need to succeed in this position?

Absolute prerequisites for success in the position

• Extensive experience in internal and external accounting as well as in the development of financial/business processes and systems.


• IFRS competence concerning the capitalisation of development costs (IAS36 and IAS38).

We are looking for a talent to join our team that will take our management accounting and forecasting capabilities to a new level. At Admicom, we do not draw a strict line between external and internal accounting, but we work as one team, where we require expertise from both sides. In your role, you will support product management and product development in creating new operating models, so the ability to purposefully move development projects forward and the ability to create good relationships across organizational boundaries is of primary importance – in other words, you have excellent interaction and communication skills.

You also have the ability to open-mindedly and boldly identify essential areas for development in the finance function and propose solutions to them. We value a structured way of working, but in our team it is equally important to be able to withstand uncertainty and have ability to take on new challenges.
