Senior Financial Controller

Banking is changing, and we're building the bank that's driving that change. Lunar is a Nordic challenger bank, founded in Aarhus

in 2015, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Stockholm. We're putting AI at the core of how we build and run the bank, but

knowing exactly who we're doing business with still comes down to people, and that's what this team does.

As our new Senior Finance Controller, you’ll join the Controlling & Transformation team in Copenhagen. Our goal is to mature

Lunar’s controllership and make every close faster, cleaner and more automated.

To be upfront: parts of our close are still manual, and our controllership is still maturing. You’ll be a hands-on senior

controller in a team that’s actively improving how we work. You’ll run your part of the close and drive selected projects that

move us forward. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who knows banking accounting well and would rather fix a

process than repeat it.

• Run the month, quarter and year end close for your entities, and contribute to group consolidation, intercompany and

eliminations

• Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations from core banking and subledgers to the general ledger, and follow every break

through to resolution

• Prepare key parts of the annual and half-year reports for the group and the bank, from trial balance to notes, support the

external audit, and write technical accounting memos under IFRS and the Danish FSA executive order on areas like IFRS 9

impairment, effective interest, fee income and capitalised development

• Guide Product and Tech on how core banking flows should be designed and booked, so new products and changes reach the general

ledger correctly from day one

• Drive selected improvement projects, from getting more out of Business Central (allocations, workflows and approvals) to

automating close steps with our technical resources, and coach junior controllers along the way

• Significant experience in financial controlling or audit, with a large part of it in a bank or regulated financial institution.

You work independently, set your own priorities and follow issues through to resolution

• Solid knowledge of core banking accounting: deposits, lending, cards and payments, settlement and clearing accounts, and how

product ledgers reconcile to the general ledger

• Strong knowledge of IFRS and Danish accounting rules for financial institutions, including hands-on experience preparing an

annual report and working through positions with auditors

• You’re comfortable working with data. You can write SQL and find your way around a data warehouse to query ledger and

transaction data yourself, and you see new tools, automation and AI as part of the job

It’s a bonus if you bring experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a Big 4 financial services audit background or

a state authorised public accountant qualification, experience from a fintech or scale-up, or professional working proficiency in

Danish.

• 4 days in the office. We're a team that builds together, thinks together, and moves together. Showing up is part of how we

work.

• State of the art equipment. The newest computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. We want you to do your best work without

anything slowing you down.

• Pension, health insurance, and enhanced parental leave. From your financial future to your family moments. We've got you

covered.
