The Nordic Finance Excellence Center, based in Copenhagen, is responsible for a diverse line of businesses (Retail, Professional and Manufacturing, across nine reporting entities and five legal entities in three Countries), each with specific statutory accounting and reporting requirements. The FEC team acts and behaves as the financial conscience of the Nordics management teams.

The Accounting Analyst acts both as co-pilot (active value creation) and custodian (ensuring optimal and effective processes, and compliance with internal and external regulation). The Accounting Analyst ensures that financial statement and closing processes are operated flawlessly and efficient by establishing a high degree of reliability (being on time, in full and accurate) and by managing the operating transactional work according to the KPI’s set by JDE Global Finance.

To ensure continuous improvement within the FEC team, there is a high degree of responsibility rotation across the team, and the continuous business development also affects the Accounting Analysts assignments. Travel days to our offices and finance departments in the Nordics to perform “on site” work with the Controllers is expected.
