This is what you tell people at parties

We didn't become Europe's leading e-commerce shipping platform by playing it safe. Sendcloud powers 30,000+ online retailers, marketplaces, and fulfillment companies. Helping them ship smarter, grow faster, and actually get shit done for their customers. Boring logistics? Not here. We're building the platform that solves shipping, at scale, globally!

As a Financial Controller at Sendcloud, you'll play a key role in ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of our financial records across a fast-growing, international group of entities. You'll take ownership of month-end close activities, contribute to statutory reporting, and help strengthen the financial systems and controls that support our scaling business.

The Role

• Contribute to day-to-day accounting and month-end close processes for our international group of entities.
• Ensure accounting records are maintained in line with local GAAP and IFRS standards, and prepare statutory financial statements.
• Maintain and improve internal controls to safeguard financial data and support external audits.
• Work across our tech stack—NetSuite, procurement, and payment tools—to keep data accurate and processes efficient.

What you'll do

• Own month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring timely and accurate preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP and IFRS.
• Maintain and enhance internal controls across financial systems, identifying gaps and implementing improvements to strengthen controls.
• Support external audits and regulatory compliance, preparing documentation and reconciliations as required.
• Use data analysis and automation tools to streamline recurring accounting tasks and improve process efficiency.
• Partner with teams across business control, FP&A, accounts payable, and credit control to optimise financial processes and strengthen data integrity.
• Identify and investigate accounting issues, and communicate findings and recommendations to leadership.

What you bring to the table

Personally

• You take ownership and follow through, holding yourself to a high standard even when no one is checking.
• You're naturally curious and enjoy understanding how things work end-to-end, not just the numbers but the processes and systems behind them.
• You communicate clearly and aren't afraid to ask questions or challenge how things are done.
• You're comfortable working in a fast-paced, international environment where priorities can shift, and you genuinely enjoy working with colleagues across teams.

Professionally

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience, ideally gained at an audit firm, now looking to make the move into a business role.
• Strong accounting knowledge (IFRS and/or local GAAP) with a solid grasp of month/year-end close processes.
• Knowledge of ERP systems—NetSuite knowledge is a plus.
• Strong Excel skills and experience with data analysis.
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).

Our Values

• No bullshit: Big egos suck. Be open, honest and transparent. Share your mistakes openly and learn from them. Don’t just talk about problems, solve them.
• Grow & win: Be highly curious, adaptable & proactive. Embrace discomfort and change. Keep an open mindset and learn from others. You invest in our growth, so we invest in yours.
• Have fun: Work hard, laugh harder. Not everything has to be serious. Be yourself, especially if you’re the good kind of crazy. Sendcloud is an adventure, not a corporate maze, enjoy the ride.
