Om tjänsten

Finland is becoming our primary operating entity. High volumes. A direct line to the CFO. We are looking for a hands-on Senior

Accountant who wants to own the whole accounting cycle.

If you like doing the work yourself rather than managing it from a distance, and you want to build something as it grows, this is

for you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will own accounting & reporting for our Finnish entity end to end. You will be based in Helsinki and report directly to our

CFO.

We are a finance team with a big operation: hundreds of thousands of transactions every month, and four entities closed together.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Your core focus: owning the accounting cycle

Own bookkeeping, postings and reconciliations for the Finnish entity in Netvisor
Lead the month-end and year-end close hands-on
Keep a meticulous eye on detail as volumes grow

Statutory reporting and consolidation

Prepare statutory financial statements under Finnish GAAP (FAS)
Prepare reporting after the close and help the CFO understand the numbers

Tax and compliance

Prepare and submit VAT returns, local tax filings and statutory reports
Own the corporate income tax process, working with our external tax provider
Make sure everything stays compliant with Finnish tax rules and standards

Audit and external coordination

Coordinate with external accountants and auditors while keeping full ownership of the results in-house
Be the main point of contact for audit queries on the Finnish entity
Keep documentation and schedules audit-ready

Process improvement

Identify potential improvements in our workflows to strengthen controls and efficiency as we grow

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Must-haves

  • 6+ years of hands-on, in-house accounting in a complex, high-volume environment. You have personally owned the full accounting

cycle

  • Industry background: you have worked in a business with a large daily flow of transactions, such as fintech, tech, retail,

manufacturing or import-export

  • Finnish compliance: strong knowledge of Finnish GAAP (FAS), local tax rules and VAT, and experience with Finnish statutory

reporting

  • Accounting and reporting: you know accounting inside out, and you understand reporting and what the numbers mean for the

business

  • Systems: Netvisor, in your current or a previous role, and comfort with manual cross-checking and reconciliations. Xero, SAP or

similar are also relevant.

Fluent Finnish and English

Also important

Ownership and flexibility: you are happy to be "in the weeds" in an environment where structure is still being built
Degree in Accounting, Finance or Economics

Strongly preferred

Multi-entity closing experience
Exposure to FP&A or financial controlling
Audit experience
Consolidation experience
Fintech experience

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN

Real ownership: the accounting of our primary operating entity, end to end
Direct line to the CFO: you work closely with the CFO and see how decisions are made
The full picture: from daily transactions to consolidation and statutory reporting, in a regulated fintech
A say in how we work: help design the processes and controls we scale with
Growth with the company: future progression is shaped by wamo's growth

WHAT WE OFFER

Indefinite contract
Private health insurance
Hybrid working: four days in the office, one day from home
Lunch benefit (lounasetu): a lunch card you can use at restaurants across Finland
An international team of nearly 100 people from more than 10 countries
Life beyond work: regular team events and a friendly, supportive atmosphere
Modern tools, including AI, built into the way we work every day
