13 hours ago

København, Denmark One Peak Partners LLP Full time

We are an ambitious company, accelerating our growth to bring our SaaS cloud-based backup services to the global audience.

The Head of Accounting will play a crucial role in leading and overseeing the accounting function for KeepIt. You will ensure accurate financial reporting while maintaining internal controls and managing compliance with local and international financial regulations. You will lead a team of accountants across multiple areas and work closely with senior leadership to optimize processes and support business growth.

As a senior member of the finance team, the Head of Accounting will be responsible for coordinating the accounting operations across our six legal entities, ensuring timely and accurate month-end closing, financial statement preparation, tax compliance, and the implementation of best practices in accounting across the business.

We are looking for a positive, dynamic and brilliant mind who is happy to also have a hands-on approach. Maybe you have an audit background and are looking to add value on the other side of the table. Or you may have experience from a controller or financial analyst role, and are now ready to take your next step.

Regardless, we'd love to hear from you and hope that you will consider joining our high-performing team of 13 finance professionals.

Key Responsibilities:

Leadership & Management:

  • Lead, mentor, and manage a team of accountants across multiple countries, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.
  • Coordinate accounting operations across six legal entities, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and alignment with group-wide financial strategies.
  • Provide guidance and development opportunities to team members, ensuring the function is resourced with skilled professionals and operates effectively.

Financial Reporting & Compliance:

  • Oversee the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, ensuring compliance with local GAAP, IFRS, and tax regulations.
  • Coordinate year-end audits and manage relationships with external auditors, ensuring smooth audit processes and timely completion.
  • Ensure all statutory filings (e.g., VAT, corporate tax returns, annual reports) are completed on time and in accordance with local and international laws.
  • Review and maintain internal controls to mitigate risk and ensure financial accuracy across all entities.

Process Optimization & Internal Controls:

  • Lead initiatives to streamline accounting processes and improve operational efficiency, driving the use of automation and other technological tools where possible.
  • Ensure robust financial controls are in place across all functions, driving compliance with company policies, tax regulations, and international standards.
  • Ensure day-to-day coordination with 3rd-party accounting teams in certain jurisdictions.
  • Partner with other departments (e.g., legal, P&C, sales, and operations) to support the financial aspects of company projects, acquisitions, and global expansion.
Qualifications & Skills:

Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (Master’s degree or professional accounting certification such as CPA, ACCA, or equivalent preferred).
  • Experience working in a multinational organization, ideally within the software or technology sector.
  • Proven track record of managing accounting teams across multiple jurisdictions and legal entities.

Technical Skills:

  • Strong knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), local GAAP, and tax compliance across European jurisdictions.
  • Proficiency in accounting software (e.g. Oracle NetSuite), as well as advanced Excel skills.
  • Knowledge of financial consolidation processes and multi-entity accounting.

Personal Attributes:

  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and motivate a diverse team.
  • Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage complex accounting tasks in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a strategic mindset and the ability to adapt to changing business needs.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with stakeholders at all levels, both locally and internationally.
  • High level of integrity and professionalism, with a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
We offer:
  • Competitive salary.
  • A modern, energetic global work environment.
  • Flexible work-life balance supported by a hybrid working model.
  • Regular team-building activities.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
  • Compensation based on experience and skill set.
