About Monta

Monta connects hardware, software, businesses, and drivers into one seamless charging ecosystem. Our mission is to make charging simple, reliable, and scalable for everyone.

Monta is a company of builders. We move fast, break friction, and use AI to multiply output. No politics, no fluff - the best idea wins, always.

We're looking for a Director of Finance who's ready to roll up their sleeves and own group financial control end to end. You will be reporting to our UK based CFO and be a key member of his leadership team.


What You’ll Do

  • Group Financial Control & Close

    • Own the group month-end close process, driving toward a faster and more predictable close

    • Hold sign-off authority on accounting treatment across entities, including VAT and revenue recognition judgment calls

    • Own group consolidation and inter-company eliminations across multiple entities and currencies

    • Oversee payroll, AR and AP management

    • Own bank reconciliation and cash visibility across the group's banking partners and currencies

    • Set and enforce posting controls and chart-of-accounts policy across the group

    Team & Process Leadership

    • Manage and develop the wider group accounting team including third party book keepers, with multiple direct reports

    • Drive the automation and streamlining of our processes whilst ensuring strong financial controls

    • Partner closely with FP&A on forecast-to-actuals reconciliation and board reporting inputs

    • Technical ownership of the company ERP system. It is a plus if you have evaluated ERPs or have led an ERP transition

    Compliance & Strategic Projects

    • Act as the primary point of contact for our external auditors (PwC), driving audit readiness and closing out requests on time

    • Drive AI adoption across finance, we have made huge strides and are AI native, and we want you to continue that

    • Own transfer pricing compliance and documentation across group entities

    • Bring technical accounting judgment to strategic finance projects as Monta evolves, for example new entity structures or evolving revenue recognition needs

    • Lead technical accounting input on product development such as invoice generation and VAT engine

    • Own statutory audit and group compliance across all entities


What We're Looking For

If the mission excites you but your experience isn’t a perfect 1:1 match, apply anyway — we care about potential, not perfection.

  • Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent), with significant post-qualification experience and a track record of managing a team

  • Experience managing a diverse team across geographies

  • Comfortable bringing technical accounting knowledge to cross-functional and strategic projects, not just running the close

  • Demonstrable experience building and managing bespoke finance solutions with AI and a bonus if you have led an ERP migration

  • Skilled at running a tight, predictable month-end process

  • Transfer pricing and multi-entity or group consolidation experience

  • SaaS and/or fintech experience is a strong plus

  • Experience in a regulated financial services environment (e-money, payments, or similar) is a strong plus

  • Bonus if you speak Danish as our HQ is in Copenhagen


AI Competency

You’ll be expected to work with AI-powered tools. Some we use:

  • GitHub Copilot / Claude Code

  • ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude

  • Notion AI (docs, knowledge, meeting notes)

  • Analytics & ML: Langfuse, PyTorch, Mastra

  • AI-enhanced testing & monitoring (e.g., generative QA, Grafana ML)

We don’t expect mastery of all — but we expect comfort learning, experimenting, and adopting AI responsibly.


Why Monta

  • Real authority. You'll own group-level financial control for a scaling EV-charging platform, with real sign-off authority from day one.

  • Ownership from day one. All Monta employees are owners of the company and part of the journey.

  • The people are extraordinary. You'll work directly with senior finance leadership. We believe we do the best when we are together and so we are in the office 3 days a week driving the business.

  • Build the function, don't just run it. You're joining while the close process is actively being modernized. What gets automated and rebuilt from here is yours to decide, not inherited from someone else's playbook.

  • Real scale, real mission. Monta powers charging for 300,000+ monthly users. The numbers you close each month are funding the infrastructure behind the EV transition.

  • Breadth most Directors of Finance don't get this early. Multiple entities, multiple currencies, and a direct line into board-level reporting, all in one seat.


What We Offer

  • A yearly education budget and extra days off to use it.

  • A friendly and social company culture with movie nights, Friday bars, pub crawls, and more.

  • Free lunch every day.

  • Pension & health coverage to keep you secure for today and tomorrow.

  • Paid parental leave to support life’s big moments.

  • Warrants program - be part of our growth story.

  • Flexible working hours; as long as you’re at key meetings and delivering great work, we trust you to manage your schedule.


Please send us your application in English.

To succeed in this position, your spoken and written English skills need to be proficient. Since Monta is a globally active company, you’ll be communicating often and regularly with our co-workers and partners around the world, making your professional English knowledge essential.

Monta is the operating platform powering the EV charging ecosystem serving drivers, companies, cities, and the electricity grid with one integrated software solution. We believe that accelerating and democratising the adoption of EV technology is key to building a better future. Monta’s mission is to provide the best technology solutions for the entire EV charging cycle. At our core, we provide access, innovation, and reliability to the mobility transformation. We're here to make the transition to electric mobility as seamless and exciting as possible. With a single integrated software built to EV better. Founded in 2020 our team has been growing fast and are now more than 200 employees with 47 different nationalities. Our HQ is based in Copenhagen, and we have offices in Oslo, Berlin, Paris, London and just opened Barcelona. Our culture is based on trust, transparency, and respect, where everyone contributes to making Monta what it is. You don't have to work 9-17, we trust our people to know how they work best. We empower each team to choose how and when they work. Inclusion is also a big part of our culture, and we make sure that everybody feels welcome, heard and able to bring all of who they are to work. We take it upon ourselves to protect this space that has allowed us to get this far. Monta is dedicated to encouraging a supportive, diverse and inclusive culture amongst all Monteers as they are fundamental to our values as a company. One of the best things about Monta is our people. Right from the get-go you will feel how inclusive, diverse, sociable and friendly our team is. We go to the office as much as possible, not because we have to, but because we enjoy each other's company - even outside work hours we hang out together. We have lots of different clubs you can join, there's a chess club, a ski club, (there's a slack channel for every little interest we can bond over). Everyone is very passionate about what we do and invested in the product and their role. We are a team of innovators, experts, and “bar-setters” in our fields. We believe that we can create the path needed to sustainably scale the industry towards the future. We're biased toward action, so we're always looking for ways to improve and make things work for many, not just few. We don't just want to be good at what we do—we want to be the best at it. Better results, better technology, better systems, better together. The combination of all this, and the feeling that we are contributing something great to the world, gives everyone a strong sense of belonging and makes our employees and customers want to work with us - it helps our company thrive. Everyone here is proud to be a 'Monteer'. If you’d like to work in a green, tech-driven company and are passionate about innovation, we might be the right fit! We've got an incredible team, and hope to find more peers who can help us push things even further.
