We are looking for a new colleague to join our Accounting team in Copenhagen.

This is a great opportunity to use your accounting skills in an international environment within a purpose-driven company.

Novo Holdings is a holding and investment company that is responsible for managing the assets and wealth of the Novo Nordisk Foundation, one of the world’s largest enterprise foundations.

We are a world-leading life science investor, driven by the purpose of improving people’s health and the sustainability of society and the planet. Since 1999 we have been investing to promote groundbreaking solutions in healthcare and bio-sustainability while generating attractive returns that advance the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s grant-giving activities - supporting scientific, humanitarian, and social causes. As of year-end 2023, Novo Holdings had total assets of EUR 149 billion.

We conduct ourselves with attention to performance, responsibility and respect, as represented by the Novo Holdings set of values (Novo Holdings Way).

The Job

As Accountant, you will be representative for the accounting department towards internal and external stakeholders. You will be responsible for bank and intercompany reconciliations as well as daily bookkeeping ensuring quality, correctness and completeness at all times, with the assistance from student assistants. We do the bookkeeping for the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Novo Holdings and their subsidiaries in Denmark and abroad, and as such, we close the books of ~40 units.

You will work closely together with the teams in Finance, which aside Accounting consists of Tax, FP&A, Investment Operations, Valuation and Facility Management as well as you will have daily contacts with colleagues across the organisation.

In the role you will:

  • Handle all aspects of the accounts payable and expense processes including receiving, processing, verifying and reconciling invoices and expenses.
  • Perform bank and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Manage external and intercompany invoicing including accounts receivable reconciliation.
  • Participate in month-end close processes.
  • Prepare VAT reporting.
  • Communicate and coordinate with vendors, service providers and other external and internal parties related to accounts payable.
  • Contribute actively in accounting process optimization.
  • Assist with ad hoc tasks in collaboration with the accounting team.

You will be a part of a highly motivated team with great colleagues who respect and appreciate each other. The team consists of eight members including three student assistants and is anchored in Finance & Operations that encompasses Finance, Risk & Performance, Legal, Strategy Office, and Digital.

Professional Qualifications

We are looking for a candidate with:

  • Experience and interest in accounts payable and expense management processes from an accounting or finance function in a midsize or large international company.
  • Broad accounting experience is valued more than educational background. A background in Finance, BSc in Business Administration or similar is preferred.
  • Ability to interact across different functions and with many stakeholders.
  • Interest and understanding of ERP systems. Experience with D365BC, Contina Document Capture and Contina Expense Management is an advantage.
  • Excellent communication skills in Danish and English (written and verbal).
Personal Qualifications

As a person you are:

  • Professional, service-minded, and attentive to details.
  • Collaborative and team-oriented while also motivated by having your own area of responsibility.
  • Engaged and curious by nature, enjoying interactions across functions and teams.
Working at Novo Holdings

At Novo Holdings, we aspire to a set of values that define the way we work. Our values underpin the Novo Holdings culture of high performance with high responsibility and long-term thinking.

Our work environment is driven by purpose and values, and we strive to be recognised by our stakeholders and people as an exceptional enterprise. Our aim is to create an environment where our people can develop to their full potential.
