Financial Controller
Are you ready to help us on our mission towards a greener, more data-driven future? At ElBits, we aim for digital innovation that meets sustainability in a friendly, well-funded joint venture.
ElBits is an ambitious collaboration among Norway’s grid companies aimed at driving change in the power grid industry. We standardize and integrate data, develop digital products, and build the digital infrastructure needed to increase grid capacity and efficiency, while also improving the customer experience across the sector.
Our ambition is to build One Grid for Norway. This means a more connected, intelligent, and efficient grid across all levels of the grid and grid companies. With strong partnerships, deep industry knowledge, and access to critical data, ElBits is uniquely positioned to tackle the most pressing challenges in today’s energy systems. Together, we are helping to solve one of the greatest challenges of our time: the energy transition.
We are now hiring a Financial Controller to help us build a modern and scalable finance function. As ElBits continues to grow, we’re strengthening our internal finance function to better support decision-making, enhance reporting, and simplify our financial processes. You’ll work closely with our Finance Manager and external finance provider, playing a key role in bringing more finance tasks in-house and building a solid foundation for the future.
This role will help shape and improve our core finance routines. You’ll be part of a small, dedicated operations team that collaborates across the company, driving better structure and smarter ways of working. If you're curious, analytical, and excited about systems, processes, and reporting - we’d love to hear from you!
What will you do?
As Financial Controller, you’ll take ownership of key finance operations and play an active role in improving how we work. Your tasks will include:
- Own day-to-day finance operations, including incoming and outgoing invoicing.
- Manage accounts receivable and payable.
- Support monthly closing tasks, journal entries, and reconciliations.
- Help facilitate the implementation of a new ERP system.
- Act as superuser and go-to person for finance systems and tools.
- Support financial reporting, analysis, and oversight - including monthly, quarterly, and annual reports in compliance with GAAP standards.
- Contribute to budgeting and forecasting processes alongside the Finance Manager.
- Identify opportunities to streamline and insource tasks, reducing reliance on our external finance provider.
- Build the foundation for better decision-making with cleaner data and more robust processes.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys improving systems, rolling up their sleeves, and taking ownership in a growing company. You'll help shape the way we work and play a key role in making finance a true partner to the business.
