Remote-first team, but we want you able to join us in person regularly
Most finance jobs hand you a function to maintain. This one is half finance, half business, and a real slice of "whatever the company needs this week." You'll own the numbers end to end – and sit close enough to the business to argue about pricing, profitability and whether a new category is worth launching – and handle the unglamorous admin that keeps a small company running. If you only want one of those three, this isn't your role. If the combination sounds like the most interesting way to spend the next few years, read on.
We're Tiptapp. We turn idle car space into same-day moving, delivery and recycling. We launched in Stockholm in 2016, we operate across Sweden plus London, Berlin and Lisbon, and – unusually for a startup – we've been profitable since 2020 and aren't dependent on the next raise. 15 people. Backed by early investors in Spotify, Klarna, Avito and Revolut.
Own the numbers. Run month-end and annual close with our outsourced accounting partner. Keep the books clean. Own the relationship, set the expectations, catch what they miss.
Make the numbers useful. Build the P&L, budget and forecast models (Google Sheets, data from BigQuery) and turn them into board and investor material people can actually decide from.
Think commercially. Work with the team on pricing, unit economics and business cases for new bets. We want your opinion on whether something makes money, not just a record of whether it did.
Run the admin no one else will. VAT, DAC7, payroll, warrants, compliance, SCB reporting – and the genuinely mundane. No handoffs, nothing "beneath you."
Get us ready for what's next. Package financials for future equity, debt or M&A conversations, and co-present to the board and investors.
Protect the cash. Watch spend, hold suppliers to their promises.
Manage a team – you'll be hands-on for at least the next year.
Roll out a heavy ERP – we want practical solutions that work today.
Build perfect models in a vacuum – we build, test, iterate.
We care more about range, drive and judgment than about years on a CV or a senior finance title. You probably have a few years of hands-on finance or controlling behind you – enough to take real ownership of the finance stack – but you're not looking to be a pure finance specialist. The combination we're after:
You can own finance and you're genuinely curious about the business behind the numbers.
Solid working knowledge of Swedish accounting/statutory reporting is enough – you'll coordinate our outsourced accountants, not do statutory close yourself. Deeper expertise is welcome but not required.
You're analytical and commercial – you like building a business case as much as closing a month.
You're comfortable being the most junior and the most senior person in the room on the same day: board deck in the morning, mundane admin in the afternoon.
Bias for action. You'd rather ship something useful this week than design the perfect process for next quarter.
Comfortable with tools and automation – Sheets modelling is core; SQL/BigQuery, Fortnox or Stripe experience is a plus, and we expect you to lean on AI to stay lean.
Fluent English; Swedish isn't required but is highly valued.
This is a build-from-scratch role at a profitable small company – high ownership, high visibility, limited support, no big finance team to lean on. That suits some people perfectly and would frustrate others. We'd rather you know which you are before you apply.
Competitive salary for our stage — we're a lean, profitable 15-person company, so you're not betting on the next funding round to get paid.
30 days' vacation, 4.5% pension, SEK 5,000 wellness allowance.
Remote-first flexibility with a desk in Stockholm when you want it.
A front-row seat to how a profitable marketplace actually runs – working directly with the CEO.
We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis.
