We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented accountant to join our Finance & Accounting team in Copenhagen as Maternity Cover primarily covering accounts payable but also accounts receivable and general accounting tasks.

MB Shipbrokers brings more than a century of experience in the maritime industry. With more than 250 colleagues working together across our global offices, we combine a strong heritage with an international and modern approach to shipbroking.

Who are we looking for

We are looking for a structured and thorough accountant who can play an important role in supporting our day-to-day financial tasks and operations. You enjoy being part of a team, while also being comfortable handling tasks independently.

We are seeking a candidate who:

· Has relevant experience within accounting and finance

· Is comfortable working with financial systems and digital tools, including Excel

· Has a structured approach and an eye for details

We value curiosity, a willingness to learn and a proactive mindset, so that you can become familiar with the new tasks and given responsibilities quickly.

We use Microsoft business central, Continia Document Capture and Expense Management in our daily work.

What we offer

At MB Shipbrokers, you will become part of a more than 100-year-old global shipbroking company with a worldwide presence and continued commitment to our customers.

We take pride in our inclusive culture, where everyone is encouraged to contribute and grow. You will join a workplace where you get the chance to develop professionally within a team built on support, curiosity and mutual respect.

While the shipping industry is dynamic and often fast-paced, we strongly believe that it is important to maintain a good work-life balance fostering a strong sense of community. We offer weekly workouts, access to padel courts, changing facilities and a variety of social events throughout the year. Furthermore, our in-house canteen also provides freshly made meals every day.
