The group provides crane services, special transport, heavy haulage and installation for customers within industry, infrastructure and energy. Its operations include Crane Norway Group in Norway and Havator in Sweden and Finland.

As Finance Manager, you take responsibility for group accounting, consolidation and reporting, working closely with Group CEO Jens Enggaard and the local finance teams. Based at the office in Hvidovre, you become a trusted financial partner who brings the figures together, understands the business behind them and helps colleagues resolve practical challenges.

The position offers the opportunity to apply your accounting expertise across an international group and work close to Group Management. You gain insight into the business and influence through your professional contribution, initiative and ability to deliver. At the same time, you can build further experience in banking and financing and grow with the responsibilities of the role.

You take an active part in the work yourself. You prepare financial material, review reported figures, investigate discrepancies and follow outstanding matters through to completion. You maintain an overview of deadlines and deliverables while being comfortable working with the underlying details.

The local finance managers in Norway, Sweden and Finland are important partners in your daily work. You coordinate their input to group reporting and provide support with accounting, budgets, forecasts, liquidity and financing. Through your expertise and approachable manner, you build relationships where questions can be discussed openly and solutions found together.

Banking and financing are also part of your work. You handle banking matters, work with financing for cranes in BMS Stangeland Equipment and support equipment financing in the operating companies when needed. You ensure that documentation is in place and follow up on loan terms, covenants and reporting requirements. Financing experience is an advantage, and there is scope to develop your knowledge in this area.

Your overall responsibilities include:

• Prepare group consolidation, including foreign subsidiaries, and coordinate year-end closing and external audits

• Prepare and quality-assure monthly reporting to the CEO, Board of Directors and owners

• Coordinate budgets and forecasts, investigate significant deviations and explain their business implications

• Follow up on intercompany transactions, reconciliations and transfer pricing

• Prepare liquidity forecasts and maintain an overview of banking and financing obligations

• Support the local finance teams and agree common accounting principles, reporting routines and deadlines

• Improve financial working methods through relevant systems, reporting tools and practical applications of AI.

You have at least of 7–10 years of relevant experience from auditing, accounting, controlling or a broad finance role. Your educational background may be Cand. Merc. Aud., Cand. Merc. in Accounting or Finance, HD in Accounting and Financial Management, or equivalent.

You have a solid accounting foundation and experience with consolidation, reporting and year-end closing. You may come directly from auditing if you have a good understanding of business operations and are motivated to take practical ownership of the financial work. Experience with multiple companies and international activities is an advantage. Banking, financing and negotiation experience are welcome, but can also be developed in the role.

You work confidently with financial systems and are interested in how new tools can improve the way work gets done. You may already have used AI in analysis, reporting or process improvements, or have a natural curiosity and a willingness to explore its practical potential.

As a person, you bring energy, professional confidence and a helpful approach. You ask relevant questions, listen to others and communicate financial matters clearly. You build credibility by knowing your subject, keeping your commitments and delivering work that others can rely on.

You see the position as an opportunity to contribute, learn and demonstrate what you can achieve. You enjoy taking responsibility and are willing to put in the effort needed to turn tasks and agreements into results.

Your daily workplace is at the office in Hvidovre with occasional travel to the group’s operations, primarily in Norway, Sweden and Finland. You communicate confidently in a Scandinavian language and English.
