Descrizione del lavoro

Apply for the Finance Analyst role at Bending Spoons.

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, a company where team members grow to their full potential, a company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, a company that creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate, and a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.

To achieve this objective, we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and make them as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and culture. We then invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful and into acquiring new businesses. Our strategy combines an investor’s focus on capital allocation with a hands‑on operator’s approach.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.

Responsibilities

• Due diligence and post‑M&A integration. Oversee financial and tax due diligence for acquisitions and related restructuring activities. Support and lead post‑M&A integration, ensuring smooth financial, operational, and reporting alignment.
• Accounting, reporting, and financial planning. Prepare accurate financial statements and reports, maintaining precision across all financial records. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to manage budgets, align spending, and achieve financial objectives.
• Investor relations and fundraising support. Help prepare board meetings and minutes. Own financing to support M&A, engaging with banks, investors, and institutional stakeholders.
• Compliance. Ensure accuracy and compliance of financial statements with accounting standards, tax regulations, and fiscal requirements. Establish and enhance internal controls to ensure financial integrity and operational efficiency. Facilitate both external and internal audit processes.
• Equity plans. Optimize and manage our equity plans, ensuring effective implementation. Provide support to Spooners by addressing questions and requests related to their equity plans.
• Fiscal optimization. Identify fiscal incentives and design the group’s intercompany flow strategy.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure ideas sharply, resist biases, and attend to the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious, with initiative, effort, and tenacity that match your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously without expectation of return. You support the best idea, not your own, and help your team with honesty and transparency.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead product teams worth hundreds of millions of dollars; if you have what it takes, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.
• Competitive pay and equity. Typical salary ranges are £85,797–£250,512 in London and €66,065–€188,848 elsewhere in Europe, based on experience and impact. Permanent contracts may include equity at a discounted price. Relocation to Italy may allow a 50% tax cut.
