Sendify is a tech company with its heart in Gothenburg, on a mission to make shipping simple for small and medium-sized businesses in Sweden and Germany. We bring together real-time pricing, comparison, booking, and tracking in one platform, so business owners can spend less time on logistics and more time on their business. We lead with heart and back each other up - a curious, low-ego culture where good ideas can come from anywhere. We're growing fast, and proud to be Great Place to Work certified, two years running.
We're on a journey: accounting moving in-house, a new ERP, more markets ahead. We're looking for someone who runs at that rather than waits for it. The attitude we're after is simple - "I'll sort it, and if I don't know how, I'll find out."
You'll join a finance team of six, reporting directly to the CFO alongside a Global AR Lead, an Accounts Payable specialist, an customer billing specialist, and two colleagues focused on credit. The role has no direct reports, and no management layer between you and the CFO.
Today our accounting is split between an external firm, the finance team and our CFO. We're bringing it in-house and moving to a new ERP at the same time - and this role owns both: the accounting, and the system it runs in.
We operate primarily in Sweden and Germany. It's hands-on and operational - you do the actual work, from source documents to finished reports.
The full accounting flow. Bookkeeping, reconciliations, accruals, accounts payable, fixed assets - the whole chain for our Swedish entity, done by you. German accounting sits primarily with a local firm that but you will own the workflow it operates on.
Month-end and year-end. You run the Swedish close and finalise the German one together with our accounting partner in Hamburg, deliver monthly group reporting, and prepare year-end accounts and annual reports.
Revenue recognition. Accruals, GP1 reconciliation and subscription revenue. The biggest and most interesting part of our accounting, and the part that matters most to get right.
Audit. You drive the audit from our side - preparing the documentation, answering the auditors' questions and keeping the process moving. Our CFO owns the relationship and signs off.
Tax and VAT. Swedish VAT, employer declarations and reporting to Skatteverket, including cross-border transport services within the EU.
The new ERP. You become our internal owner from a finance perspective - chart of accounts, accounting rules, VAT codes, reconciliation flows - and you move our working papers out of Excel and into the system.
Making it better. Shortening the close, removing manual steps, and writing down how things should actually be done.
We believe you:
Have at least 3-5 years of solid accounting experience and have owned a monthly close yourself
Have prepared year-end accounts and are comfortable with K3
Know your VAT, and aren't thrown by cross-border services within the EU
Have driven improvements rather than just kept the wheels turning - shortened a process, removed a manual step, written a routine that stuck
Are system-savvy and curious about how things are configured, not just how they're clicked
Are strong in Excel and comfortable with large datasets
Curious about AI and have started working with automating repetitive tasks
Take ownership without being asked, and would rather figure something out than hand it over
Are fluent in Swedish and professional in English
Bonus if you have:
A background at an accounting firm
An accounting qualification (SRF or FAR authorisation)
A consolidation experience across entities and currencies
Experience from an ERP implementation
Experience working with an accounting firm abroad
German
