The role

You make sure Fonio's numbers are right and can stand up to auditors and investors. That means owning the monthly and year-end close, and solving tricky questions such as how to account for pay-per-minute revenue across nine markets and more.

As new entities and products launch, you set up the accounting so it scales, rather than patching it later.

What To Expect

• In-house accounting: Take over accounting from our external provider and build the internal function.
• Operational ownership: Own day-to-day accounting, including AP/AR, reconciliations, master data and bookkeeping.
• Monthly close & reporting: Own monthly closing and recurring statutory filings (VAT, ZM, Intrastat, etc.), working closely with our tax advisors.
• Revenue recognition: make sure usage-based revenue is recognised correctly and consistently.
• Multi-entity: run intercompany accounting, currencies and consolidation as UK and US entities come online, and integrate acquisitions such as fluently.
• Controls and policies: write accounting policies and controls that hold up in investor due diligence.
• Oversight: keep billing, payables and payroll postings accurate, and improve processes and systems as volume grows.

What You Bring

Must-haves

• 4 to 7 years in accounting, ideally with audit firm training plus time at a tech or SaaS company.
• Qualified or part-qualified (Bilanzbuchhalter, ACCA, CPA or similar).
• Has owned month-end and year-end close and statutory accounts under Austrian GAAP (UGB).
• Confident handling audits and technical accounting questions.
• Fluent in English.

Nice-to-haves

• Revenue recognition for subscription or usage-based pricing.
• Multi-entity consolidation, or IFRS exposure.
• Experience with post-merger integration or investor due diligence.
• Familiar with modern finance tools (e.g. BMD, DATEV, Xero or Stripe).

What We Offer

• €65,000 to €100,000 + Equity
• Relocation support
• Daily lunch and dinner
• Equipment of your choice
• Regular team off-sites
• On-site in Vienna, working directly with the core-team

Hiring Process

• 15 min intro call
• 30 min skill interview
• 20 min culture fit
