• Own the financial reporting plan and lead preparation of financial statements and management reports.

• Monitor financial performance against budget and contribute to FP&A processes and forecasting.

• Interact directly with clients and investors to troubleshoot billing issues and resolve financial queries.

What we'd love to see

• 3+ years of professional experience in accounting or as a Financial Controller, ideally at a fast-growing scale-up, a Big 4 firm, or an accounting firm.

• A bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, or Accounting.

• In-depth knowledge of IFRS and/or Spanish GAAP (PGC).

• Advanced Excel/Sheets skills.

• Experience with ODOO or another ERP and hands‑on tax filing experience (Modelos 111, 303, 200) — a plus.

• Comfortable using AI and automation tools to streamline financial processes — a plus.

• Language Proficiency: Professional proficiency in both English and Spanish to collaborate effectively in our bilingual environment.

If this sounds like you, don't worry if you don't check every single box—we'll support your growth along the way.

What we offer

• We offer what we think is fair compensation

• A full-time, permanent contract.

• A cool office between Sants Estació and Plaça Espanya with stunning views of Barcelona.

• Flexible working hours and hybrid work options.

• Paid day off on your birthday.

• Weekly fresh fruit, coffee, and tea on tap.

• Friday happy hours after our all-hands meetings (totally optional, of course!).

• Team-building events to bond and have fun.

• Health insurance and flexible compensation with Alan.

• A digital canteen with Kombo.

• A yearly training budget to keep growing.
