Head of Group Accounting and Controlling Finance & Treasury · Copenhagen, Denmark

Join our Finance Leadership Team!

At Lunar we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm 🚀

So who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both, breaking free from the usual categories. At Lunar, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change. Our combination of tech innovation and financial services is disrupting the traditional banking landscape, and we’re looking for a Head of Group Accounting and Controlling to lead this transformation from a financial perspective.

In this high-impact role, you'll report directly to our Group CFO, Martin Tranekær, and lead the Group Accounting and Controlling team. Based in our Copenhagen office, you'll be responsible for ensuring financial excellence across the organization, driving both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy. You’ll work closely with key stakeholders to ensure efficiency, compliance, and continuous improvement as we expand.

What will you do?

• Lead the Group Accounting and Controlling team, overseeing accounting, auditing, and controlling functions across the organization.
• Manage the daily operations of accounting and controlling, including the month-end close process.
• Drive the preparation of semi-annual and annual reports in line with regulatory requirements.
• Implement and optimize internal controls to ensure compliance with accounting standards.
• Actively engage with the accounting team in discussions and decision-making, providing hands-on guidance.
• Oversee corporate tax, VAT, and financial reporting processes, ensuring full compliance.
• Lead a project to streamline bank reconciliation processes, with a focus on our Citi foreign accounts.
• Spearhead the insourcing of the accounting function, bringing it fully in-house.
• Partner with internal teams to identify areas for process improvement, leveraging technology to enhance efficiency.
