Finance Manager

👋 Who are we?

Nordhealth’s mission is to build software that improves the daily lives of healthcare professionals. We build software that empowers veterinary and therapy professionals to provide the best possible care experiences to their patients. Our products are used daily by over 50,000 professionals in clinics and hospitals across 30+ countries. We excel with 20+ years of experience in healthcare and veterinary software.

We understand that talent comes from everywhere and anywhere. The greater our diversity, the better the products we deliver. That’s why we are a remote-first company, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, with all 400+ employees working either remotely or from collaboration hubs. While our market presence is currently strongest in the Nordics, our customer base is rapidly growing in our other markets too, especially in Europe and North America (more at our website nordhealth.com.)

About the role

We are here to create great healthcare products. That’s at our very core, but it’s the people who make companies great, not the other way around. We spend more time with our co-workers than anyone else in our lives. Being part of an exceptional team is not only important for your personal mindfulness but key for your professional progression.

We’re now looking for a Finance Manager to support our growth and be responsible for overseeing an organization’s financial health and managing all financial operations. The role involves leading a team of AR & AP specialists, providing guidance and support, and collaborating with other departments to ensure smooth operations. 🚀

Your key responsibilities include:

1. Team Leadership:

   • Lead, mentor, and supervise the accounts receivable / payables team, ensuring optimal performance and professional development.

   • Provide coaching, training, and support to team members to enhance their skills and improve efficiency.

   • Ensure team members meet departmental targets and KPIs related to collections, cash flow, and aging reports.

2. Process Improvement:

   • Implement and refine processes for efficient collection, invoicing, and reporting.

   • Identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the finance processes and recommend and implement improvements.

3. Accounts Receivable Management:

   • Ensure accurate invoicing and billing to customers, and handle any disputes or discrepancies in billing.

   • Monitor outstanding accounts and follow up with customers for payments, minimizing overdue balances and bad debts.

4. Invoice Processing and Payments:

   • Oversee the processing of all incoming invoices, ensuring they are accurately entered into the system, coded correctly, and approved in accordance with company policies.

   • Ensure that payments to vendors are made on time and within the agreed-upon terms, maintaining positive relationships with external suppliers.

   • Review and resolve any discrepancies between invoices and purchase orders, as well as vendor queries.

5. Reporting & Analysis:

   • Prepare regular accounts receivable reports, including aging reports, cash flow analysis, and collection forecasts.

   • Report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to collections, AR aging, and disputes.

6. Compliance & Controls:

   • Ensure adherence to accounting standards, internal controls, and regulatory requirements in managing accounts receivable processes.

   • Assist with audits and provide necessary documentation as required.

• Education: A degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is preferred.
