Senior Group Accounting Specialist Job St. Johns area,St. John's Newfoundland Canada,Accounting

Location: St. John's

Royal Greenland Shared Service Centre – Gdańsk, Poland

Do you enjoy getting the numbers right – while also improving the processes behind them? Would you like a senior accounting role with international exposure to reporting, governance, tax and finance transformation?

Then this could be your next opportunity.

Royal Greenland is one of the world’s leading seafood companies, operating across several countries and serving customers globally. We are strengthening our Finance organisation and are looking for an experienced Senior Group Accounting Specialist to join our Shared Service Centre in Gdańsk.

You will report to Jesper Andersen, Head of Accounting, and play an important role in strengthening financial reporting, accounting quality, governance and processes across the Group.

Your role

You will combine hands-on accounting with a broader responsibility for improving how Finance works across Royal Greenland.

Working closely with colleagues in the Shared Service Centre, Group Finance and local finance teams, you will contribute to accurate, timely and well-documented financial reporting.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Preparing and posting general ledger journal entries, accruals and period-end adjustments

Performing and reviewing monthly balance sheet reconciliations

Supporting and coordinating month-end and year-end closing

Contributing to annual financial statements and reporting

Preparing documentation and coordinating requests for internal and external audit

Supporting tax and transfer pricing activities and documentation

Ensuring strong accounting documentation, controls and compliance

Working closely with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Fixed Assets and General Ledger teams

Help shape the future of Finance

This is more than a traditional accounting role.

Royal Greenland is modernising its Finance organisation, and you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of stronger and more efficient ways of working across countries and entities.

You will help:

Develop and maintain Group accounting policies and procedures

Strengthen internal controls and financial governance

Standardise and automate finance processes

Improve reporting quality, documentation and process efficiency

Develop Finance best practices across the organisation

Strengthen tax, transfer pricing and compliance processes

We are therefore looking for someone who is comfortable working within established processes – but who also asks:
Can we make this simpler, more robust and more efficient?

Who are we looking for?

You are an experienced finance professional with a strong accounting foundation who enjoys being close to the numbers while also seeing the bigger picture.

We expect that you bring:

A degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a related field

Several years of relevant experience within accounting, financial reporting, audit or finance operations

Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting

Experience from an international organisation and/or audit environment

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

A structured and quality-oriented approach

Strong collaboration and communication skills across countries and cultures

Fluency in English

Experience with SAP, Group reporting, Shared Service Centres, tax and transfer pricing, internal controls, finance transformation or process automation will be an advantage.

What we offer

You will join an international company and a Finance organisation undergoing significant development.

The role gives you broad exposure across accounting, reporting, governance, tax, compliance and finance transformation – and the opportunity to influence both day-to-day accounting quality and the longer-term development of Finance at Royal Greenland.

If you are motivated by combining strong accounting expertise, international collaboration and continuous improvement, we would like to hear from you.
