Role: Financial Services Officer (Client Accountant)

When you apply, make the subject line exactly: "Accountant, I actually read the whole thing"

How good could you be in two years, if a firm actually invested in you?

Most accountants spend their early years doing one slice of someone else's job, learning slowly, waiting on a qualification nobody is funding. This role, our Financial Services Officer, is the opposite. You own a portfolio of client companies end to end, a senior mentor works the cases beside you rather than above you, and we fund your ACCA while you do real work. Do two or three years of this well and you will be as sharp as people five years in elsewhere.

Most firms in Cyprus run on one senior partner's memory. We are building the opposite: an operating system that puts the whole firm's know-how at your fingertips. It is not finished yet, and that is exactly why joining now is worth it. You help build it, and you own real client work while you do. This is a remote role within Cyprus, so where you live does not matter.

What you will do

• Process accounting transactions for your portfolio of client companies
• Prepare and submit VAT returns
• Prepare monthly bank reconciliations
• Maintain loan registers and calculate loan interest
• Maintain the fixed assets register
• Help prepare management accounts, reports and annual financial statements under IFRS
• Process fund accounting and assist with fund administration
• Run payroll
• Liaise with the Tax, VAT and Social Insurance authorities
• Help prepare annual tax computations
• Liaise with auditors and facilitate the audit for your portfolio
• Act as the point of contact between stakeholders, accountants and auditors

What you need

• A degree in accounting, finance or a related field
• Around two to three years of accounting experience
• Accurate, comfortable with numbers, and solid Excel skills
• Strong written and spoken Greek and English
• Reliable, organised, steady in a fast-paced environment, and able to work alone and in a team
• A plus (not required): IFRS, VAT, bookkeeping or reconciliation exposure, or Odoo or Esoft accounting systems

Who does well in this role

The people who thrive here are the same kind of person. You are methodical, and you actually enjoy getting the detail right, because you know a reconciliation that is a euro out is out. You take ownership: when something is yours, you do not wait to be chased, and you do not push a problem upward the moment it gets hard. You stay calm against a deadline, because here the deadlines are real and they do not move. And you are curious about the businesses behind the numbers, because the better you understand a client, the more you can save them.

Pay, package and growth

• €2,000 per month, paid thirteen times a year
• ACCA studies fully funded, subject to the study support policy
• Unlimited work from home
• Training allowance
• Flexible hours for working parents
• Bonus scheme
• Bi-annual reviews
• Provident fund
• Private medical
• 22 days leave rising with service
• 13th salary
• Lunch allowance
• Paid parking for office days
• Half-day Fridays (3:30pm)
• Corporate events

You will be graded on accuracy, timeliness, client continuity and your ACCA progress, not on hours at a desk. You will start by owning a portfolio under a senior mentor, with 30, 60 and 90 day reviews. As you prove yourself, you will take on more complex clients and can progress toward Senior Accountant and the lead track.

Please make sure you are comfortable with this

• The work is high-stakes and mistakes have real impact
• Parts of the job are detailed and repetitive (month-end cycles, reconciliations and filings)
• Deadlines are external and do not move
• You carry your own portfolio, with your mentor’s support
• ACCA is a real commitment (funded by the firm, completed by you)
• Processes are still being built and will change; you are expected to help improve them
• You need a home setup where you can concentrate, reliable internet and the discipline to run your own day
• Work from home is unlimited, but you may be asked to come into the office when the work needs it
