Your role
You make sure Fonio's numbers are right and can stand up to auditors and investors. That means owning the monthly and year-end close, and solving tricky questions such as how to account for pay-per-minute revenue across nine markets and more.
As new entities and products launch, you set up the accounting so it scales, rather than patching it later.
What you'll do
- In-house accounting: Take over accounting from our external provider and build the internal function.
- Operational ownership: Own day-to-day accounting, including AP/AR, reconciliations, master data and bookkeeping.
- Monthly close & reporting: Own monthly closing and recurring statutory filings (VAT, ZM, Intrastat, etc.), working closely with our tax advisors.
- Revenue recognition: make sure usage-based revenue is recognised correctly and consistently.
- Multi-entity: run intercompany accounting, currencies and consolidation as UK and US entities come online, and integrate acquisitions such as fluently.
- Controls and policies: write accounting policies and controls that hold up in investor due diligence.
- Oversight: keep billing, payables and payroll postings accurate, and improve processes and systems as volume grows.
What You Bring
Must-haves
- 4 to 7 years in accounting, ideally with audit firm training plus time at a tech or SaaS company.
- Qualified or part-qualified (Bilanzbuchhalter, ACCA, CPA or similar).
- Has owned month-end and year-end close and statutory accounts under Austrian GAAP (UGB).
- Confident handling audits and technical accounting questions.
- Fluent in English.
Nice-to-haves
- Revenue recognition for subscription or usage-based pricing.
- Multi-entity consolidation, or IFRS exposure.
- Experience with post-merger integration or investor due diligence.
- Familiar with modern finance tools (e.g. BMD, DATEV, Xero or Stripe).
