Accountant - Kaunas

Do you know Lithuanian accounting, payroll and tax reporting – and would you like to own the local finance setup in a flexible part-time role of approx. 3 days per week?

Why this role exists

Copenhagen Merchants is looking for an Accountant to support our Kaunas office and help bring more of the local accounting work in-house.

You’ll handle day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, tax reporting and statutory filings for our Lithuanian entity – while working closely with Group Finance in Copenhagen.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys accuracy, structure and responsibility. Not “finance from a distance” – but local accounting that actually keeps the office running.

What you’ll be doing

Your main tasks will include

•

Daily bookkeeping, supplier invoices, expenses, payments and bank reconciliations

•

Local cash flow overview, banking administration and payment preparation

•

Payroll administration, salary-related reporting, VAT, tax and statutory filings in Lithuania

•

Intercompany invoicing and reconciliations related to the Kaunas entity

•

Travel expenses, employee reimbursements and Acubiz handling

•

Monthly close, including accruals, balance sheet review and P&L / balance sheet reporting to Group Finance

•

Coordination with auditors, banks, local authorities and external accounting partners

•

Annual audit preparation and accounting documentation

•

Compliance with Lithuanian accounting, payroll and tax regulations

•

Ongoing improvement of local accounting processes and support for bringing more accounting tasks in-house

•

System-related finance requests in coordination with Group Finance

You’ll be locally anchored in Kaunas – but with regular contact to colleagues in Copenhagen.

Who you are

You are a reliable and structured accountant with experience from a Lithuanian accounting role.

We imagine you bring

•

Experience with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax reporting

•

Good understanding of Lithuanian accounting standards and local compliance requirements

•

Experience with month-end close, reconciliations and statutory reporting

•

Ability to work independently in a smaller office setup

•

Good Excel skills and experience with ERP/accounting systems

•

Fluent Lithuanian and professional working English

•

Relevant education within accounting, finance or bookkeeping

Experience with Microsoft D365FO, expense management systems like Acubiz, intercompany transactions or international companies is a plus – but not a must.

Most importantly: you are responsible, detail-oriented and pragmatic. You keep things in order – without making things more complicated than they need to be.

What we offer

We offer a flexible part-time role in an international, family-owned company with a long-term perspective.

You’ll get

•

A role with clear responsibility and independence

•

Close collaboration with Group Finance in Copenhagen

•

A stable but entrepreneurial business environment

•

The chance to help build a smooth local accounting setup

•

Necessary equipment, including computer and phone

•

A pragmatic hybrid setup – minimum 2 days per week in the Kaunas office, because good collaboration still matters.

In the beginning, we expect a stronger office presence to ensure a good onboarding and close connection to the Kaunas team.

And yes, we do have an octopus as our cultural ambassador – T.W. Heart. You don’t need to fully understand that on day one. Most of us didn’t either.
