Financial Controller

We are looking for an ambitious Financial Controller with an audit background who wants more than just a traditional finance role. This is an opportunity to move away from traditional finance into AI finance - a golden chance for the right candidate to actually work with AI every day, not just read about it.

United Fintech is building a global platform that connects financial institutions with modern, scalable technology solutions. Through acquisitions and partnerships, we bring together market-leading fintech products that serve banks, exchange groups, brokerages, and investment firms worldwide. We are AI-first in everything we do - it's not a buzzword, it's how we work, make decisions, and scale. In practice, that means AI is part of the daily toolkit: drafting memos, running reconciliations, building analysis, preparing slides, and communicating with the business.

If you are motivated by the intersection of financial services, financial governance, and real-world business impact - and you are ready to take ownership of financial reporting, controls, and process optimisation in a collaborative, international environment - then keep reading. You might be who we are looking for.

What You Will Contribute

As Financial Controller at United Fintech, you will play a key role in supporting the organisation's financial performance, governance, and scalability. Working closely with the Finance team and stakeholders across the business, you will contribute to the validation, consolidation, and reporting of group and subsidiary financials, ensuring timely and accurate interim and annual reporting. You will own the audit process and group accounting matters, while improving monthly financial processes, strengthening controls, and helping establish a globally consistent, AI-first financial reporting framework to support growth and future acquisitions.

Key responsibilities include:

Own the audit process, the external group accounts, and group accounting matters — the main point of contact for our auditors

Run an AI-first record-to-report process, using automation and AI tooling to keep the monthly close and annual reporting timely and accurate

Validate and consolidate subsidiary results, applying consolidation and elimination principles with AI-assisted variance analysis

Elevate monthly management reporting to management and the board using AI and automation — insight, not just numbers

Prepare the local annual reports

Monitor outsourcing partner deliverables and quality

Process Improvement, Automation & Systems

Continuously challenge existing finance processes, reaching for AI and automation first to raise quality, efficiency, and scalability

Support the roll-out of our new AI-driven ERP platform

Build globally consistent processes and control frameworks across subsidiaries so we can scale and onboard acquisitions

Monitor internal controls and ensure sufficient documentation — in-house and with our outsourcing partners

Keep improving the audit process year on year, using AI and automation to cut manual work

What You Will Bring

We hire for attitude, not skills - curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to learn matter more than years on a CV. The two things we do look for are an audit background, ideally from a Big Four firm, and some consolidation experience, which we lean on as we integrate acquisitions and grow the group. What matters most is that you can think clearly about complex topics and communicate them simply.

In addition, you bring:

Experience from audit, ideally with a Big Four firm

Some consolidation experience, including elimination principles — we lean on it as we integrate acquisitions and scale the group

Familiarity with annual, external, or group financial reporting

A working understanding of accounting principles and internal controls

Interest in process optimisation, system improvements, and bringing AI and automation tools into finance

Comfort working with data — and curiosity about using AI tools to turn it into business insights

A hands-on mindset with the ability to challenge the status quo and apply best practices

Experience implementing AI tools and new systems will be an advantage

Clear communication and a collaborative approach

Fluency in spoken and written English

Location & Working Arrangements

The job is a full-time position, and you will be reporting to the Head of Finance. The place of work is our office at Sankt Annæ Plads 28, Copenhagen.

What We Offer

Competitive salary and benefits aligned with local market standards

Opportunity to work within a global organisation alongside experienced professionals, contributing to the delivery and evolution of technology solutions for financial institutions

Enjoy the flexibility to balance your professional goals with personal ambitions, while contributing to a supportive, inclusive, and values-driven workplace culture

Lunch at our office in central Copenhagen

Application Process

Please submit your CV by 31 August. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early submissions are encouraged. The first round of interviews is expected to take place in early September.

We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply and are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
