Job description

Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 50,000 clubs in 90+ countries record their games every week.

Growing as fast as we do in Veo means that every day is different, exciting, and challenging, both on the front line and in the back office.

But that’s not the most remarkable thing about us.

The coolest thing is our people. We’ve attracted some of the brightest minds in the industry. They are the reason we can create a great product and do it while enjoying ourselves.

The Architect of Scale

The Mission: Define and build the future of Finance

Veo is not a traditional company, so we aren’t looking for a traditional Head of Accounting. We are a global powerhouse in AI sports technology, scaling at a pace that breaks conventional finance models. We don't just have a ledger; we have a high-velocity hybrid engine that combines global hardware distribution with a massive SaaS subscription base.

We're looking for someone who has the vision for what a future-proof finance function looks like and needs a platform to build that vision, one where speed and accuracy are not mutually exclusive, but complementary

The Challenge: Why this isn’t your typical finance role. Some accounting roles are about maintaining the status quo. This role is about building the machine. You will report to the CFO and lead a team of six, but your real job is to ensure our financial data foundation can keep up with a high-growth mindset.

Your Playbook (The Profile): We are looking for a \"hungry,\" dynamic professional who is likely seeking their definitive career-making move and form a strong partnership with FP&A and the business partners.

• The Hybrid Complexity: Mastering the dual challenge of global hardware inventory (logistics, VAT, duties) and high-velocity SaaS revenue recognition.

• The \"Fast Close\" Culture: You aren't satisfied with what there is today. You are obsessed with automation, API integrations, and workflow optimization to reach a <5-day \"No-Surprises\" close.

• Scalable Architecture: You don’t just \"check the books\". You design the tech stack (ERP, Spend Management, etc.) so that FP&A can slice data by region, segment, and product with zero manual effort.

• Mentorship for Builders: You lead a team of six. You aren't a micro-manager; you are a coach who levels up their technical skills and teaches them to be proactive business partners.

• Treasury and covenants: You treat cash management as an engineering problem. You architect seamless connections between banking platforms, payment gateways, and your ERP to optimize liquidity, manage multi-currency volatility, and ensure real-time visibility into global cash positions.

• The Foundation: You likely started in a Big 4 (Audit) environment. You know what \"perfect\" looks like, but you’ve realized you’d rather build the company than audit it.

• The Tech Edge: You are hungry for new knowledge in the space of tech tools and follow the development of RPAs, LLMs, and similar tools that can help improve workflows.

• The Mindset: You are pathologically curious. You ask \"why\" until you understand the root cause. You thrive in change and get bored when things stay the same for too long.

• The Toolbelt: You are \"Systems Obsessed\". You understand how data flows between CRM, ERP, and payment gateways.

• Build vs. Maintain: You get the autonomy to rip up old processes and build world-class ones from scratch.

• High Impact: You aren't a back-office function; you are the engine room providing the data that drives our global strategy.

• Culture: We live and breathe office first culture. Our Copenhagen office features an indoor ball court, rooftop terrace, and a \"work hard, play as a team\" mentality.

Are you ready to record the next chapter? We don’t care about how many years you’ve spent in a chair. We care about your ability to solve problems, your technical rigor, and your hunger to level up.

Our Copenhagen office mirrors our innovative technology – with an indoor ball court, rooftop terrace, and well-equipped gym. We have created a facility that supports connecting disciplines across the business, facilitates creative thinking, and gives the space to engage with colleagues, our global partners, and the entire Veo community.

Values we hold at Veo:

Dare - We take initiative, stay curious, and challenge the status quo in our work.

Own it - We drive impact by identifying opportunities, taking responsibility, and confidently executing.

Level up - We embrace growth, continuously learning and shaping our skills.

Play as a team - We collaborate across a diverse organization, leveraging shared insights for stronger outcomes.

Customer Centric - We deliver value by having close partnerships and a deep understanding of our customers (internally and externally)

We value diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, even if your experience doesn’t completely match every qualification listed. What matters most is your creativity, potential, and ability to make meaningful contributions.
