Finance Manager

Job description

Description

Location: Copenhagen, DK

About the role:

We’re hiring a Finance Manager to lead our accounting team and strengthen the foundations: tighter internal controls, improved consolidation, and faster close (target D+5) — while being a trusted finance partner to the wider organization.

Your mission:

Build a finance function that scales with the business: simple, transparent, and reliable — without adding bureaucracy. We run finance by three mantras: Simplicity, Scalability & Transparency.

In practice, that means you’ll:

  • Raise the bar on internal controls (clear ownership, clean processes, audit-ready documentation)

  • Improve consolidation across entities

  • Drive a D+5 monthly close rhythm — predictable, high quality, and low drama

  • Lead and develop a team of 4–6 accountants day-to-day (prioritization, coaching, delegation)

  • Continuously modernise the way we work — including implementation ofAI and automation to reduce manual effort and improve quality (where it genuinely helps).

What you will do:

  • Lead and run finance operations:- Own month-end close and help us consistently hit D+5 (planning, checklists, dependencies, quality gates)

- Lead the accounting team day-to-day (support, feedback, clarity on priorities)

  • Be the go-to finance partner for the organization on expenses, controls, and “how do we do this correctly?”

  • Strengthen controls and improve consolidation:- Upgrade the internal control environment in a pragmatic way

- Improve consolidation processes and group reporting structure

- Coordinate multi-entity audit and statutory reporting in close collaboration with external auditors

  • Improve systems and ways of working: drive the process improvements and automation that remove friction and increase accuracy

  • Work in Business Central (plus integrated systems) and support reporting flows (incl. Power BI)

  • Identify a small set of AI-enabled improvements (e.g., better exception handling, smarter reconciliations, faster variance narratives) and implement them responsibly, focusing on measurable impact rather than hype

What success looks like in the first 6–12 months:

  • Close is consistently D+5, with strong documentation and clear ownership

  • Consolidation is smoother, faster, and easier to explain

  • Controls are stronger, audit coordination is calmer, and finance is seen as a helpful partner (not a bottleneck)

  • The accounting team feels supported, aligned, and improving month over month

  • A few practical automation/AI improvements are live and saving real time each month.

What you bring:

Must-haves:

  • Strong hands-on accounting foundation (you can go deep when needed, but you don’t get stuck there)

  • Experience leading a close cycle and improving it (speed and quality)

  • Confidence implementing internal controls in a scaling company (practical, not overly theoretical)

  • Strong stakeholder skills — you’ll work with “most of the organization” daily

  • Clear communicator in English (Danish is a plus, not a requirement).

Nice-to-haves:

  • Multi-entity consolidation experience

  • Audit coordination experience across several legal entities

  • Experience from SaaS / international scale-up environments

  • Business Central experience (a plus).

Your style:

  • You’re pragmatic, structured, and positive — with a “find a way” mindset

  • You enjoy building processes that last, and you make the people around you better.

Why Join Us?

  • Long-term engagement in a stable, growing SaaS company

  • Flat organizational structure with a short path from idea to action, and a “freedom with responsibility” style of leadership

  • Professional development opportunities, including certification support

  • A global, diverse, and highly skilled team across Denmark, Ukraine, UK, Poland, Canada, Australia, USA, and more.

  • A culture that values personal growth as much as business outcomes

  • Hybrid work set up (3-4 days/week in the office)

Feels like it’s a perfect match to you?

We look forward to your application! (please submit your English CV )
