At NKT in Kaunas, we are looking for a Senior GL Accountant to improve the quality, consistency, and governance of our processes. This role sits within the Quality Team and has a cross-team impact, focusing on accounting quality, compliance, standardization, and continuous improvement across the organization.

Your responsibility will be to:

• Act as a quality coordinator for the accounting function, ensuring consistent application of accounting policies, standards, and best practices.
• Ensure adherence to GAAP/IFRS, local statutory requirements, and internal controls across teams.
• Identify quality gaps, recurring issues, and root causes, and coordinate corrective actions.
• Provide quality oversight during month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing activities.
• Support statutory reporting, audits, and compliance-related processes, acting as a key contact for quality-related audit topics.
• Ensure audit findings are addressed in a structured and sustainable way.
• Maintain SOPs, guidelines, and quality documentation, ensuring they are current, clear, and consistently applied.
• Standardize, simplify, and automate initiatives with a robust quality perspective.
• Participate in or lead cross-functional projects aimed at improving accounting quality, efficiency, and risk mitigation.
• Support implementation of changes in systems, processes, or accounting rules from a quality standpoint.
• Act as a go-to person for accounting quality topics, providing guidance and support accounting teams members.
• Collaborate closely with GL Teams, Local Finance, Group Finance, Tax, and external auditors.

Finance-focused professional with a solutions-oriented mindset

You also have:

• Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
