This role is central to delivering operational excellence across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Credit, and Financial Close, while championing process improvements and strengthening financial discipline across the Group.

• Oversee end-to-end AP and AR processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance
• Monitor customer credit risk, payment terms, and collections strategy in collaboration with Sales
• Ensure proper controls on invoicing, payments, and cash application
• Review aging reports and drive actions to reduce overdue balances and improve cash flow
• Ensure vendor payments are optimized and aligned with cash management strategy

3. Reconciliation & Financial Integrity

• Ensure timely and accurate reconciliation of sub-ledgers (AP/AR) with the general ledger
• Oversee bank reconciliations and ensure discrepancies are investigated and resolved promptly
• Maintain strong internal controls and ensure data integrity across systems

4. Month-End Close & Reporting

• Own and coordinate the month-end close process for AP/AR and operational finance
• Ensure deadlines are met with high-quality deliverables
• Prepare and review key journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations
• Provide clear and actionable reporting (aging, working capital, cash flow insights)
• Collaborate closely with FP&A on actuals vs forecast and variance analysis

5. Process Improvement & Systems

• Identify inefficiencies and implement scalable, best-in-class finance processes
• Drive automation and improvements within ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite or equivalent)
• Standardize processes across entities and regions to ensure consistency and control
• Strengthen documentation and adherence to internal policies

6. Compliance, Audit & Governance

• Ensure compliance with Swiss GAAP (FER), VAT, and local regulatory requirements
• Support internal and external audits, acting as a key point of contact for operational finance topics
• Ensure audit readiness and proper documentation across all processes

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field
• 5–8+ years of relevant experience in operational finance, with proven exposure to AP, AR, credit, and closing processes
• Demonstrated experience managing and developing teams (ideally across multiple locations or time zones)
• Strong knowledge of Swiss accounting standards (Swiss GAAP FER) and VAT
• Experience in a multi-entity, international environment is essential
• Proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar) and strong Excel skills

• Close collaboration with senior leadership and exposure to global operations
• Access to Nidecker pro deals and partner discounts
• Snow Days, Company Ride Days, and a strong culture rooted in our mountain DNA
• A collaborative and energetic team environment
