Accountant

Famly is looking for an Accountant to join the Finance and Legal team based in Copenhagen.

And who are we?

We’re on a mission to close the collaboration gap in early childhood. So we’re building the world’s most collaborative Early Childhood Platform - a software platform for the grown-ups in a young child’s life to connect, share their workload, and learn about early childhood. Basically, Famly makes life easier for educators and families so that they can get back to what matters.

As an Accountant, you will be a dedicated finance person at Famly and will be reporting to and working directly with our Senior Director of Finance & Legal. This is a full time, on-site position in our Copenhagen office that reaches across both traditional financial accounting tasks, but also dives deep into the daily operations of our finance department. We are a small hands-on team, and every member is expected to contribute as needed, even if it is not formally described below.

Your main tasks will include:

• Daily operations including booking of payments and managing debt collection

• Invoicing and communicating with customers by email

• Assisting and driving month close processes

• Continuously improve all of our financial processes aiming to improve efficiency

• Financial controlling

• Monitoring spend and drive cost savings where possible

• Develop and document business processes and accounting policies

If you perform well, you will also have the opportunity to participate in the creation of our management reports, budgets, and other financial reports. Thus, you will become an integral part of shaping our finance function as we grow.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• You are a fast learner and technically competent (Advanced Excel/SQL)

• You have a genuine interest in accounting and controlling and is curious to learn more

• You can work independently, proactively and enjoy detail-oriented work

• You are process-driven and enjoy continuously improving existing processes

• You enjoy supporting both customers and colleagues equally

• You are not afraid to learn and continually challenge yourself to expand your knowledge and skills

We expect you to have:

• Excellent technical excel/google sheets skills

• +2 years of relevant experience within an accounting function or other relevant experience

• Excellent English skills, both written and spoken

• Great communication skills and business acumen

• An open mind towards working with people from different cultures and backgrounds (we have more than different 30 nationalities at Famly)

We appreciate that everyone brings something unique, so even if you don’t tick every box above, we’d still love to read your application. Regrettably, we will not be able to relocate for this role due to Danish immigration legislation, so you must be eligible to work in Denmark.

And Famly are...? … you wonder

It all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. With his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

These days, the 150 of us building Famly are trying to do two things for our 3,200 customers:

• Giving children the best possible start to life.

• Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.

We do that with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 34,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.

Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.

The interview process looks like this:

• Interview with People Partner

• Logical test

• Interview with Senior Director of Finance & Legal (incl. Accounting & Excel test)

You’ll love working here because of:

• Competitive pension, private health insurance, and paid maternity/paternity leave.

• A clear career framework and coaching to make sure you’re growing, annual $1000 personal development budget and a ‘We’ll buy you any book you want’ policy.

• We’re all about hiring clever people who are good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.

• A value of ‘make your colleagues shine’ is all about breaking down silos, celebrating one another, and staying connected across departments, offices, and oceans.

• We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new, challenging tasks.

• Top-notch work equipment (including noise cancelling headphones for those focus periods!).

• A yummy daily buffet, a well stocked drinks fridge, and an overflowing snack corner

• Social activities and team fun with dinners out, office BBQs, Friday bars, game nights, and more!

We're excited to meet our new colleague, so get your application in today by sending us:

• Your CV

• A cover letter to tell us what you can bring to the role, and what speaks to you about Famly.

We look forward to hearing from you!
