Bookkeeper

Job description

Role / Timing The requirement is maternity cover, ideally starting around mid to late September and continuing until approximately mid-August 2027. The expectation is currently 2–3 days per week, with the final number/days to be confirmed between you and Cong. My understanding is that KOSMOS is open to either employing the individual directly on a part-time basis or considering a contractor/interim arrangement through us, depending on the candidates available and respective costs. Main Responsibilities The role is primarily hands-on bookkeeping, accounting and financial reporting rather than a strategic finance position. The responsibilities will include: Day-to-day/weekly bookkeeping, recording and categorising transactions. Bank reconciliation through e-conomic. Supporting the financial administration of both the Danish and Irish businesses. Denmark is largely automated/integrated within e-conomic, whereas Ireland requires more manual work, with Grace uploading the transactions and the individual then categorising/reconciling these. General liaison with Grace to ensure the Irish side runs smoothly. Invoices / Debtor Follow-Up Monitoring outstanding invoices and producing the overdue invoice list each Monday. Sharing these with the relevant Project Leads, who generally have the direct client relationships/contact details. Following up internally to make sure outstanding invoices are being pursued. Where direct contact details are available, the individual can also follow up with clients directly. Financial Reporting Monthly financial reporting. Quarterly financial reporting and forecasting. Using the existing templates you and Cong have developed, extracting the relevant figures from e-conomic and populating these rather than developing a new reporting process. Year-End / Audit Closing the books at year-end. Preparing the necessary documentation and financial information for the Danish and Irish auditors. Supporting the Irish auditor, Daniel, including extracting the required information from e-conomic and providing/converting the relevant figures where necessary. VAT Denmark – quarterly preparation/reporting, followed by review/discussion with Cong before submission. Ireland – bi-monthly, coordinating with Grace regarding the required information/data and deadlines. Overall, we are looking for a reliable, hands-on finance/accounting professional who is comfortable getting into the detail and can work relatively independently. Good working knowledge of e-conomic is essential, particularly given the bookkeeping, reporting and year-end requirements. Interview Process The initial interview would be with Mae and Jeppe, given how closely the successful person will work with him, followed by Cong as appropriate.
