Junior Accountant  

Description of the company

Our client is the Geneva office of an established international group specialising in trust, corporate services, and family office solutions for an international client base. The firm supports the administration and ongoing management of a range of structures, including corporate entities, holding companies, and private wealth arrangements.

While the work is international and sophisticated in nature, the Geneva team operates in a close-knit and supportive environment where junior professionals are trained and developed progressively, working closely with experienced accountants and senior leadership.

The culture is professional and client-focused, with a strong emphasis on learning, accuracy, and long-term development within the team. The firm combines the stability and structure of a global organisation with the accessibility and collaboration of a local office environment.

Role & Responsibilities

We are seeking a Junior Client Accountant (1–3 years' experience) to join a busy fiduciary and client accounting team in Geneva.

This role is designed for someone at the early stage of their accounting career who is looking to develop strong technical accounting skills in a structured, international environment. You will work closely with senior accountants, the CFO, and trust officers, receiving hands-on guidance and support as you build your experience. Candidates with a corporate accounting background who are keen to move into client accounting are also encouraged to apply.

In this role, you will be involved in day-to-day accounting activities such as bookkeeping, reconciliations, invoice and payment processing, and supporting month-end reporting, while gaining exposure to both corporate entities and client structures. Responsibilities will increase progressively as your experience develops.

Why Apply:

This is a strong opportunity to gain exposure across both corporate and fiduciary/client accounting, working on a diverse portfolio of international structures. You will develop solid technical accounting skills, gain experience in month-end reporting and multi-entity environments, and work closely with experienced professionals in a stable and supportive Geneva-based firm.
