Job Description:

We’re now looking for a Financial Controller to provide oversight and governance across our accounting and reporting — ensuring we have high-quality financial information, strong controls, smooth audits, and scalable processes as we continue to grow across the UK and EU. This role is focused on review, control, and audit leadership, rather than day-to-day execution which is handled by the operational accounting team. You’ll bring structure, rigour, and strong project management to ensure our finance function remains audit-ready and fit for scale.

Job Responsibility:

Provide oversight of the monthly close, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of key balances, judgements, reconciliations, and supporting documentation
Set and maintain the quality bar for accounting outputs, ensuring financial information is robust, consistent, and ready for internal and external scrutiny
Own and evolve accounting policies and controls, including documentation, approval frameworks, and monitoring of key controls
Lead the planning and project management of annual audits across UK & EU entities — coordinating timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables end-to-end
Be the primary finance partner for external auditors and advisors, ensuring clear communication, high-quality responses, and a smooth audit process
Oversee the preparation and review of statutory accounts and tax/VAT submissions, ensuring they are accurate, compliant, and delivered on time
Assess and mitigate accounting-related operational and regulatory risks, strengthening governance as the business scales
Drive continuous improvement across finance processes, tooling, and controls — identifying bottlenecks, implementing better workflows, and enabling automation where possible
Partner cross-functionally (Product, Ops, Compliance, People, etc.) to ensure finance controls are embedded in the business and risks are addressed early

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in accounting/finance roles with increasing responsibility (e.g., Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Audit Manager)
Strong grounding in UK and/or EU accounting standards (IFRS/UK GAAP), with experience supporting statutory accounts and audit processes
Demonstrated experience in review and oversight of month-end close processes and accounting deliverables
Proven ability to lead and manage audits and external stakeholder processes with structure, clarity, and strong attention to detail
Strong understanding of controls and governance — you naturally think in terms of risk, process, and how to build scalable foundations
Excellent judgement when it comes to accounting policy, estimates, and materiality
Proactive, organised, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities
Startup / high-growth experience is a plus, especially in fintech or regulated industries
You have a solid command of written and spoken English, and can communicate clearly and succinctly with a range of stakeholders
Excellent computer skills (spreadsheets, reporting tools, accounting systems)
Curious and proactive about using AI to improve finance operations — you experiment with tools that help automate reporting, controls documentation, and audit readiness

Nice to have:

Experience working in a regulated financial services business (e.g., investment firm, broker, payments/e-money, fintech)
Knowledge of capital adequacy, regulatory reporting requirements, and/or safeguarding / client money frameworks and controls
Experience supporting multi-entity structures across jurisdictions (UK + EU), including audit coordination across multiple parties
Experience improving finance governance and control environments in fast-growing companies

What we offer:

A competitive startup package with stock options that vest monthly after a one-year cliff
Brand new office in Tallinn (Kalamaja)
Flexible working hours
A flexible approach to working remotely
Private health insurance
All the usual office facilities, including free tea, coffee & snacks
Dog-friendly office
Cycling or running to work? We’ve got bike parking and showers
