Financial Accountant / Finansregnskapsfører

We are Tibber, the energy company that wants you to use less energy. Whaaat? That’s right. We’ll get back to that. Yes, we are by definition an energy company, but we’re more techy than most. How and why you might ask. Well, a third of our employees are actually working on developing products and solutions that can help you use energy in a smarter way and at a lower cost – all with the help of cool fancy tech. Good for our customers, their wallets, and the planet.

Our growth rate has been truly amazing, and still, we’re just getting started. With millions of smart devices connected to the Tibber platform (like electric vehicles and smart thermostats), we have one of the most unique portfolios trading energy on the market.

This is your opportunity to grow with a company leading the charge toward a sustainable energy future.

What You’ll Do:

📊 Closing & Reporting:

Take ownership of monthly and annual closing processes, including journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, accrual preparation, and variance analysis against budgets, forecasts, and prior periods. You’ll also manage cash flow forecasting and handle VAT submissions and other statutory tax declarations for our Norwegian entities.

Work closely with the Finance Manager and our global team to develop and implement policies and guidelines across both Norwegian and group entities, ensuring compliance with best practices and company standards.

Be the bridge between finance and key stakeholders, including auditors, tax authorities, country managers, and internal teams. Effective communication and relationship-building will be central to your success in this role.

If you thrive in collaborating with auditors, tax authorities, and cross-functional teams, this position is tailor-made for you.
