Finance manager at 50-75 %

After 10 years at Contrast, our colleague Ulrika is moving on to new assignments. Now we are looking for someone who wants to take over a well-functioning finance function and eventually develop it further.

You may have worked for a few years under an accounting manager and feel that it is time to take on more responsibility yourself. Or maybe you work at an accounting firm and want to get closer to the business, the colleagues, and the projects behind the numbers.

About Contrast

Contrast is an event and brand experience agency with offices in Växjö and Stockholm. For more than 30 years, we have helped companies and organizations create meetings that bring people and brands closer together.

We are 16 employees who work closely together, with several projects underway simultaneously. At us you get a creative environment with colleagues who help each other and enjoy having fun together.

Since 2022 we have been certified as sustainable, and in 2025 we were named a Gasell Company by Dagens industri.

This will land on your table

As the financial manager, you are responsible for the entire ongoing financial function and ensure that everything is done correctly and on time. You monitor the company’s and projects’ finances, identify deviations, and provide the CEO and project managers with the financial information they need.

In broad terms:

Continuous accounting, supplier invoices and customer invoicing
Budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting
Monthly financial statements, reconciliations and periodizations
VAT, taxes, liquidity and government reporting
Project follow-up together with project managers
Complete payroll administration for civil servants, from payroll management and expense reporting to employer declaration, pension, Fora, and holiday year closure
Financial statements

Annual financial statements are prepared by our audit firm.

Our project managers work on everything from idea and planning to production and implementation. When preparing for a large event, the pace can be fast and many parts need to be in place at the same time.

Here, your structured and financial overview becomes an important support. You follow the projects from planning to completion, help the project managers with the right financial information, and ensure that our common working methods work even during intense periods.

Is this you?

You are a trained accounting economist and have some years of experience in qualified financial work.

We also believe that you:

Works carefully, structuredly, and proactively
Like taking responsibility and getting things done
Detecting abnormalities and finding out what lies behind them
Has high IT skills and a great interest in systems
Wants to improve routines and develop how the systems are used
Can explain financial issues in a clear and uncomplicated way
Enjoy working closely with both the CEO and the project managers

If you have experience in controlling, that is a plus.

We work in Fortnox, Milltime, Lime and Microsoft Office.

Facts about the job

The job is at 50-75 percent. You can work shorter days or spread the time over fewer workdays, depending on what suits you and the business best.

The location of the office is at our I11 office in Växjö. We like to work together in person, so remote work is an exception.

The employment begins with a six-month probationary period. Subsequently, the intention is to convert it into a permanent position.

We would like you to start as soon as possible, so that you and Ulrika can work side by side during the handover.
