• Audit Preparation: Supporting the preparation for internal and external audits, coordinating documentation, and responding to auditor queries.

• New Entity Setup & Support: Contributing to the financial and accounting setup of new legal entities as Filigran expands internationally — including chart of accounts configuration, local compliance requirements, banking setup, and coordination with external advisors.

• Process Improvement: Participating in the continuous improvement of accounting processes and tools, bringing ideas to enhance efficiency and compliance.

• Team Collaboration: Working alongside the Senior Accountant and Apprentice Accountant, sharing knowledge and contributing to a positive team dynamic.
