Group Accountant m​/w​/d Hybrid

On behalf of our client, a prestigious, highly respected Swiss corporate group with deep roots in the premium healthcare and service sector, we are searching for an analytical, delivery-focused Group Accountant (80-100%).

Based in their modern corporate office in the Zürich (Glattpark) area, this role offers a sophisticated hybrid working model. You will join a highly professional Group Finance team responsible for driving technical excellence in financial reporting, complex consolidations, and pioneering major upcoming regulatory transitions.

In this role, you will look beyond standard day-to-day accounting. You will take ownership of the external and internal financial reporting under IFRS and actively drive the technical consolidation of Swiss subsidiaries. Crucially, you will act as a key project lead for critical accounting changes, specifically spearheading the framework adaptations and comparative data preparation for the upcoming IFRS 18 implementation.

• Group Consolidation & Reporting:
  Execute quarterly and annual technical consolidations of Swiss subsidiaries using SAP Group Reporting (SAP-GR).
• Financial Statements:
  Prepare the IFRS group financial statements, ensuring absolute compliance and high-quality disclosures for corporate management.
• Project Leadership & IFRS Transitions:
  Lead strategic accounting projects, including the management of IFRS 16 (via SAP RE-FX) and the immediate strategic preparation/restructuring of 2026 comparative financial data in anticipation of the new IFRS 18 standard.
• Stakeholder Advisory:
  Act as a trusted technical advisor to local finance directors and corporate stakeholders regarding complex IFRS accounting questions and group guidelines.
• Process Optimization:
  Continuously refine accounting processes, data flows, and system architecture within the SAP-GR environment.

Your Profile

To be successful in this highly visible role, you must possess a strong "hands-on" mentality balanced with strategic agility. The ideal candidate meets the following criteria:

• Top-Tier Certification:
  Completed Dipl. Wirtschaftsprüfer (Swiss CPA) or Eidg. dipl. Expertin/Experte in Rechnungslegung & Controlling (or equivalent international qualification like ACCA/ACA).
• Technical Accounting Expertise:
  Strong foundational background in a Big 4 environment or a complex, multi-entity Swiss corporate group.
• Systems Fluency:
  Deep practical experience with SAP Group Reporting (SAP-GR) is highly advantageous; strong comfort with modern, automated consolidation tools is non-negotiable.

  Deep technical mastery of IFRS (specifically IFRS 16). Exposure to or strong readiness to master the new IFRS 18 classification and presentation rules is a major asset.
• Language Proficiency:
  Professional fluency in German and English (written and spoken) is required. Proficiency in French is a distinct advantage and will set you apart.
• Work Style: A structured, resilient professional who thrives in a dynamic corporate environment and values collaborative problem-solving.
