The Corporate Finance Department at Huvepharma is currently undergoing expansion, presenting you an exciting opportunity to become part of our exceptional team. We are actively seeking a committed and driven Senior General Ledger Accountant.
Role Purpose:
The Senior General Ledger Accountant ensures the integrity of the general ledger for Huvepharma EOOD through high‑quality postings, robust balance sheet reconciliations, and disciplined month‑end/quarter‑end/year‑end close execution. The role also prepares the monthly Cognos Controller reporting package (including inputs, tie‑outs, and explanations) and hands it over to the designated owner for final submission/loading.
Core Responsibilities:
1. General Ledger Ownership & Close Execution
Own assigned GL areas end‑to‑end (e.g., accruals, provisions, payroll interfaces, intercompany, VAT/tax balances, reclasses).
Prepare, review, and post complex journal entries (estimates, corrections, allocations, cut‑off entries) with clear support and approvals.
Drive timely completion of monthly close tasks in line with the close calendar; proactively identify risks, missing inputs, or unusual movements.
Analyze account movements and variances (MoM/YoY) and provide concise, evidence‑based explanations to the Finance Controller and stakeholders.
Contribute to continuous improvement of GL processes, templates, and controls to increase efficiency and reduce late adjustments.
2. Balance Sheet Reconciliations & Issue Resolution
Prepare and review reconciliations for key balance sheet accounts, including bank, intercompany, payroll-related, VAT and tax accounts, accruals, and provisions.
Ensure reconciliations are complete, accurate, and supported by appropriate evidence (subledgers, statements, confirmations, working files).
Investigate discrepancies, perform root‑cause analysis, coordinate resolutions across teams, and document conclusions and corrective actions.
Maintain high standards of reconciliation quality, including aging, clearing logic, and traceability (from source → posting → reconciliation).
3. Statutory & Compliance Support (Bulgaria)
Support the Finance Controller, Tax Expert, and Statutory Compliance Manager in ensuring GL readiness for statutory reporting and local compliance requirements.
Provide GL tie‑outs and supporting schedules for VAT/tax reconciliations and regulatory/statutory filings (support role; not filing ownership unless assigned).
Ensure adherence to internal accounting manuals, policies, and segregation‑of‑duties controls.
4. Cognos Controller Reporting Package Preparation (Consolidation Input Support)
Prepare the monthly Cognos Controller reporting package from the local GL, including required schedules, mapping checks, and validations.
Perform tie‑outs and consistency checks (e.g., trial balance ↔ package totals ↔ reconciliations; key movements; intercompany consistency).
Provide structured variance explanations and supporting documentation for group reporting review.
Coordinate timely handover of the finalized reporting package and evidence to the person responsible for final submission/loading in Cognos Controller.
Maintain a clear audit trail of files, assumptions, and approvals in SharePoint.
5. Documentation, Controls & Audit Support
Maintain comprehensive working papers and supporting documentation in SharePoint, ensuring version control and audit readiness.
Support internal and external audits by providing timely, accurate documentation and clear explanations of balances and movements.
Contribute to strengthening internal controls through standardization, checklists, review routines, and documented procedures.

Qualifications & Profile:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (professional qualification is a plus).
5+ years of progressive GL accounting experience, preferably in a complex or multi‑stakeholder environment.
Strong working knowledge of Bulgarian accounting requirements and statutory compliance expectations; IFRS exposure is a plus (especially for group reporting).
