Job description
We are looking for a detail-oriented, independent Accountant with strong expertise in Estonian accounting, EU VAT, and 1C to join our international team.
This is a key accounting role in a fast-growing international trading company. The position combines day-to-day accounting responsibilities with active involvement in 1C setup, accounting process development, annual statutory audit, and complex cross-border transactions involving physical goods.
A significant part of our business activity takes place outside Estonia. Therefore, we are looking for someone who understands not only Estonian accounting, but also international trading operations, logistics, imports/exports, intra-community transactions, and the VAT treatment of goods moving between different countries.
The key requirement for this role is independence. We need someone who can take full ownership of the accounting function, organize processes, analyze transactions, identify the correct accounting and VAT treatment, solve issues proactively, and complete tasks without constant supervision.
Strong practical experience with 1C is mandatory.
What we offer
- Key accounting position in a growing international trading company.
- High level of independence and ownership.
- Significant involvement in 1C setup and accounting process development.
- International exposure and experience with complex cross-border EU transactions.
- Direct cooperation with the Finance Director and management.
- Opportunity to build and improve accounting processes.
- Remote or hybrid working format.
- Competitive salary based on experience and level of responsibility.
- Long-term cooperation and professional growth opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping in Estonia in accordance with local legislation.
- Independently manage the full accounting cycle of the Estonian company.
- Build, structure, and maintain accounting processes and internal controls.
- Prepare and submit Estonian VAT returns and ensure timely VAT compliance.
- Manage and correctly account for intra-community transactions, including intra-community supplies and acquisitions.
- Verify the correct VAT treatment of cross-border transactions and invoices.
- Manage accounting for international purchases and sales of physical goods.
- Account for transactions where goods may be purchased, stored, transported, or sold outside Estonia.
- Monitor import and export transactions and ensure appropriate accounting and VAT documentation.
- Ensure correct treatment of import VAT and related accounting procedures.
- Review invoices, CMRs, customs documents, transport documents, and other supporting documentation related to the movement of goods.
- Cooperate with logistics and commercial teams to understand the actual movement of goods and correctly reflect transactions in accounting.
- Reconcile bank accounts, payment platforms, suppliers, customers, and accounting records.
- Monitor balances, cash flows, tax liabilities, receivables/payables, and other financial obligations.
- Prepare monthly managerial reports for management, including key financial figures, cash flow, balances, receivables/payables, VAT and tax liabilities, and other relevant management information.
- Prepare the company for the annual statutory audit in Estonia.
- Prepare accounting records, reconciliations, supporting documents, and explanations requested by auditors.
- Communicate directly with external auditors, respond to audit queries, and follow audit matters through to completion.
- Ensure that audit findings and required corrections are properly resolved.
- Communicate with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (MTA) and external accounting/tax advisors when required.
- Cooperate with the Polish accountant regarding cross-border transaction flows and accounting data.
- Take an active role in setting up and improving 1C and accounting processes.
- Configure and maintain accounting logic in 1C, including chart of accounts, transaction types, VAT treatment, document flows, accounting entries, and reporting.
- Work with the internal team and developers to improve accounting workflows, integrations, automation, and document exchange.
- Translate accounting requirements into clear 1C/system logic for developers.
- Identify accounting discrepancies and VAT risks and independently resolve or escalate them when necessary.
- Ensure accounting information is processed accurately and within required deadlines.
Nice to Have
- Experience in international trading, e-commerce, logistics, wholesale, or distribution.
- Experience in electronics trading or other high-volume goods businesses.
- Experience participating in a 1C implementation, migration, or restructuring project.
- Experience automating accounting processes and integrating 1C with other business systems.
- Experience with complex cross-border supply chains and imports through the EU.
- Experience cooperating with Polish accounting teams or working with Polish VAT-related transaction flows.
Additional Context
The company operates internationally, with the majority of business activity taking place outside Estonia.
This means the Accountant should be comfortable working with situations where:
- the Estonian company purchases or sells goods internationally;
- goods may never physically enter Estonia;
- suppliers, customers, warehouses, and transport routes are located in different countries;
- VAT treatment depends on the actual movement of goods;
- several jurisdictions may be involved in one transaction chain.
The company currently has VAT registrations in Estonia and Poland.
Polish accounting is handled by a separate Polish accountant. The Estonian Accountant will not be responsible for Polish bookkeeping, but will cooperate with the Polish accountant on cross-border transaction flows and accounting data.
The accounting function and internal systems are currently being structured and optimized. The candidate will therefore have a significant role in developing accounting processes and setting up 1C together with the internal team and developers.
The role involves regular cooperation with:
- Finance Director
- Polish Accountant
- Logistics Manager
- Internal IT/development team
- External tax/accounting advisors
- External auditors
What We Are Looking for in Practice
We need a person who can receive information about a transaction, understand the actual movement of goods and documents, determine the correct accounting and VAT treatment, process it in 1C, identify missing information if necessary, and bring the matter to completion without requiring continuous supervision.
The same level of ownership is expected during the annual statutory audit: the Accountant should be able to prepare accounting data, communicate with auditors, respond to their requests, explain transactions, resolve discrepancies, and support the audit process through to completion.
We value people who work quickly, proactively, accurately, and with a strong sense of ownership.
