Galileo is a fast-growing renewable energy
developer, investor and operator . Our mission is to make a meaningful
contribution to the European renewable energy transition. This year,
we completed our transition to Independent
Power Producer (IPP) in Italy, our first market for owned operating assets,
with the ambition to extend this model to other key European markets in the
coming years.

Since our foundation in 2020 , we have secured a pipeline of over 17 GW of solar PV, onshore
wind , offshore wind and storage projects across 9 markets in
Europe .

We are looking for our new Accounting
Manager to lead the Accounting team and run the Group’s day-to-day
accounting operations, from Procure-to-Pay to the monthly closing, as well as
coordinating external advisors. The role combines hands-on accounting work with
the management of the team. This person will be based in Milan (with the
possibility of hybrid remote working) and report to the Head of Accounting.

What you’ll
do:

- Lead the Accounting team: assign and
prioritise activities, support colleagues day to day and give continuous
feedback to help them grow.
- Run the monthly closing in line with
the calendar set together with the Reporting Manager and oversee
Procure-to-Pay, accounts payable and receivable, and intercompany invoicing and
reconciliations.
- Manage the general ledger of the
Swiss holding company and the preparation of its statutory financial
statements.
- Coordinate and review the external
accountants who keep the books of the Group companies in the different
countries and prepare the draft statutory financial statements.
- Apply and maintain the Group
accounting policies in day-to-day operations, record non-recurring transactions
such as M&A and project sales in line with the Group’s technical accounting
positions, and propose updates where processes require them.
- Apply the accounting controls defined
at Group level and support the external audit process, managing audit requests
and providing documentation.
- Act as key user of the accounting
tools and work closely with the Reporting, Tax, Controlling, Procurement and
project teams.
- Support M&A and project sale
transactions from an accounting perspective: provide data and analyses for due
diligence, prepare closing and completion accounts, and integrate acquired
companies into the Group’s accounting processes and systems.
- Act as accounting point of contact
for the project and business teams, advising on the accounting treatment of
project costs (e.g. capitalisation of development costs).
