Accountant
Join a Finnish tech scale-up in its most promising market opportunity to date. The European Cloud is booming, and we're shaping its future.
At UpCloud, we’re on a mission to be the number #1 European cloud platform, built on performance, reliability, and trust. While data sovereignty has become a hot topic in the EU, we can proudly say that we’ve been mastering it since 2011.
We are ready to welcome a new Accountant to our Finance team in Helsinki. In this role, you will take ownership of daily accounting operations and end-to-end accounting of selected group entities, while contributing to the development and automation of our finance processes.
UpCloud operates through five global entities, with ~€35m ARR and 30% annual revenue growth, backed by stable funding. You will report to the Group Accountant and work closely with the finance team of 6 based in Helsinki city centre.
We are a hybrid-friendly company, and our Finance team prides itself on an open, hands-on culture that is based on collaboration - not a buzzword, it’s the way we work. Though accounting can be hectic at times, we understand that the most skilled experts only perform at their best when their free time is respected, and they are given an organized environment with clear targets.
In this job, you will:
Manage daily accounting operations, including invoice processing and bank statement reconciliation.
Handle accounts payable, payments, and employee expense claims.
Take end-to-end ownership of bookkeeping for selected group entities.
Prepare VAT and GST reporting (Finland and international entities).
Participate in monthly closing and group consolidation.
Collaborate with outsourced service providers to ensure accurate tax reporting and audit progress.
Support the development and automation of accounting processes and financial controls.
Handle administrative tasks such as bank documentation and statutory filings related to tax registrations & PE filings.
To succeed, you’ll need:
3+ years of relevant accounting experience
Solid understanding of Finnish Accounting Standards
Understanding of Finnish and international tax and statutory reporting requirements
Hands-on, proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership and the will to reciprocally help out your colleagues when needed
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Interest in developing and automating accounting processes
Professional working proficiency in English
We also appreciate (read: not a must, but great to have):
Relevant degree in accounting or finance
Experience with NetSuite ERP
Previous experience in scale-up companies (especially SaaS/tech)
Experience working in an international business setting
