Accounting Manager JD

We currently have 2 clerical people in the accounting group, who take care of accounts receivable and accounts payable. They report to a senior accountant in Italy, who is responsible for periodical reporting to corporate and for some tax reporting (the main being done by an external fiscal advisor).

As the senior accountant is shifting to a new role at corporate HQ, the company is looking for a candidate able to act as head of the department. The candidate’s main duties will be to supervise the work of the clerks (deputizing them whenever needed), keep the focus on the cash-flow situation (constantly updating the Board), run periodical financial reports, close EoY and Quarter financial statements, report to the corporate controller in HQ and possibly deal with tax consultants for return preparation.

The newly hired will be working and getting trained directly from the corporate Controller and the COO so they will get to know systems and procedures on an overview level.
