Fixed Asset Register (FAR) Accountant to industrial company!

Are you a detail-oriented finance professional with a strong understanding of engineering and project controls? Do you excel at bridging the gap between physical assets and financial records in large-scale projects? Then this might be something for you!

About the position

Perido is looking for a Fixed Asset Register (FAR) Accountant on behalf of our client, a pioneering industrial enterprise driving large-scale green energy and manufacturing initiatives. In this role, you will play a crucial part in ensuring that major project expenditures are correctly identified, classified, and recorded as assets in accordance with regulatory and accounting standards. You will act as the vital link between Project Controls, Finance, and Engineering. The position is based in either Stockholm or Boden, with the possibility of working remotely at ca 50%.

Your daily tasks

As a FAR Accountant, you will treat the Fixed Asset Register as a controlled financial record, ensuring every material asset and associated cost is traceable and audit-ready. Your main tasks will include:

• Maintain and regularly reconcile the FAR against project cost records, commitments, invoices, and approved asset structures
• Collaborate closely with Engineering to identify, describe, and allocate equipment, systems, tag numbers, asset hierarchy, and commissioning status
• Track assets through procurement, construction, installation, commissioning, and handover to reflect real-time physical status
• Identify operational assets and coordinate with Finance for timely capitalisation and commencement of depreciation
• Ensure proper cost allocation across equipment, installation, engineering, and directly attributable costs
• Identify and resolve discrepancies between the FAR, cost systems, procurement records, and engineering data
• Maintain a robust audit trail for asset values, classifications, adjustments, and capitalisation decisions
• Support periodic physical verification of assets with Engineering and Operations
• Produce regular FAR completeness and reconciliation reports, escalating any gaps that could compromise compliance

Your characteristics

We are looking for someone who takes full ownership of financial controls and approaches asset tracking with precision and analytical rigor. You are a collaborative communicator who seamlessly bridges technical engineering insights with strict accounting compliance. You understand that the FAR is not just an administrative schedule, but a critical, controlled financial record.
