Building the foundation for future success 

As our Senior Financial Controller, you'll be an essential part of our Finance function, and have the chance to be a pivotal part of setting the scene for how we design the finance function and financial processes going forward.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Communication of financial performance to Flatpays management team as well as investors 

  • Preparing the monthly financial statement covering Denmark, Finland, and Germany as well as the management reporting. 

  • Planning and execution of financial control as well as being responsible for day-to-day bookkeeping and the monthly payroll process – partly in cooperation with external service providers.

  • Choosing and implementing a new ERP system – a project that we expect to kick off at the end of 2023.
