Jobs Accounting Agent Expeditors Spain 2026
Expeditors is expanding its operational workforce in Alcobendas, Spain, targeting dedicated talent for financial ledger maintenance, invoice processing, and local trade finance compliance. Working inside a global logistics network means balancing fast-paced supply chain billing alongside strict statutory accounting regulations under Spanish fiscal law.
The core opening focuses on an Accounting Agent stationed at the Alcobendas facility, working closely with freight forwarding teams, customs brokers, and corporate clients. Logistics accounting isn't standard bookkeeping; it requires handling multi-currency transactions, tariff reconciliations, freight audits, and strict month-end closing schedules. Handling supply chain finances requires a deep grasp of how maritime, aviation, and overland shipping manifests translate into taxable journal entries. You'll review complex billing files, check tariff classifications, confirm carrier surcharges, and adjust currency conversions in real time. Because logistics margins are narrow, error-free accounting directly influences branch profitability and keeps client accounts fully aligned with European Union commercial standards.
Key duties and daily operational responsibilities include:
Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable ledgers for domestic and international freight movements.
Reconciling vendor statements against internal job cost sheets and carrier invoices.
Resolving billing discrepancies directly with global branch networks and customs authorities.
Supporting VAT declarations and statutory reporting in line with the Spanish Tax Agency regulations.
Assisting trade compliance project coordinators with onsite financial audits and billing controls.
Maintaining accurate job costing records across ocean, air, and ground transport files.
Spanish corporate hubs like Alcobendas serve as major operational centers for multinational transport firms. To secure this position, applicants need a solid background in business administration, finance, or logistics accounting. Fluency in Spanish is mandatory for day-to-day coordination with local vendors and tax officials, while business-level English is essential for navigating Expeditors' global enterprise systems and communicating across regional desks.
Prerequisites and core competencies:
Prior exposure to transport management software, corporate ERPs, or specialized freight accounting tools.
Strong familiarity with Spanish General Accounting Plan (Plan General Contable) standards.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, especially pivot tables, lookups, and dataset reconciliations.
Solid understanding of Incoterms, customs duties, and import-export billing structures.
Ability to work under rigid month-end deadlines without sacrificing ledger accuracy.
Candidates joining the Alcobendas team navigate standard Spanish labor contract terms, typically framed under full-time local employment agreements with standard social security contributions and health coverage. Day-to-day life inside this facility demands clear coordination between finance desks and warehouse or dispatch units. Cross-departmental communication ensures invoices match actual shipments, preventing customs holds or vendor payment delays.
Application intake occurs directly through the central Expeditors recruitment portal. Submissions must include an updated CV outlining specific experience in reconciliations, billing software, and logistics administration. Screening emphasizes functional problem-solving, attention to detail, and direct experience in handling high-volume operational ledgers. Hiring teams prioritize applicants who already hold legal working status within Spain and the European Union, speeding up onboarding and security clearance protocols across the Madrid regional logistics cluster.
