Senior Accountant
On behalf of our partner, an innovative pharmaceutical company focusing on oncology and rare diseases, we are looking for a highly capable Senior Accountant to oversee the Hungarian financial operations.
Operating in a close-knit regional setup where Hungary and Romania work hand-in-hand, this role does not focus on hands-on transactional bookkeeping. Instead, you will act as the key supervisor, project manager, and critical link between external service providers, the shared service center (SSC), and regional management.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Oversight & Provider Management
- Supervise the end-to-end accounting function which is operationally outsourced to external partners (including payroll and invoicing processes).
- Act as the primary gatekeeper to ensure the correctness of accounting records, financial statements, and balance sheets as required by law.
- Coordinate and warrant the accuracy of financial information, serving as the first point of contact for state and tax authorities.
- Manage transparency reporting internally and to local authorities.
Systems & Project Management
- Drive and support the company through an intensive period of system upgrades and implementations (e.g., recent SAP module deployment).
- Maintain data integrity and utilization across various financial systems (SAP, Anaplan, BFC, Diapason, TM1, Microstrategy, Ariba, etc.).
Stakeholder Management & Communication
- Collaborate closely with internal departments, providing financial/accounting support on joint projects.
- Manage financial reporting workflows to Headquarters (HQ) and ensure strict adherence to corporate deadlines.
Requirements & Competencies
- Experience: 6–7 years of solid experience in finance/accounting
- Industry Background: Pharma background is an advantage but not mandatory.
- Education: Master’s degree or equivalent educational background. Certified Chartered Accountant status (mérlegképes könyvelő) is preferred but not a strict prerequisite.
- Systems: Previous exposure to SAP is highly critical ; experience with reporting tools (TM1, Anaplan) is a plus.
- Languages: Proficiency in English (written and spoken corporate communication) + local language knowledge is a must.
- Soft Skills: High level of accountability, ability to manage business complexity, and stellar stakeholder management skills to interface smoothly between external vendors and internal HQ.
