Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally with public accounting experience (Big 4 or national accounting firm)
- Strong technical knowledge of US GAAP; experience with IFRS is a plus given Trustly's global reporting requirements
- Public accounting experience (e.g., at a Big 4 or national accounting firm) is a plus
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA or equivalent professional qualification preferred
- Experience managing or supporting external audits
- Proficiency in accounting software (NetSuite experience preferred) and strong Excel skills
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail and accuracy

What the job involves
- This role sits in the Controllers organisation, part of the Group Internal Finance team at Trustly, which also includes Tax, Treasury, Payroll, Finance Operations and Finance Systems
- The team is dynamic and cross-jurisdictional, with an ethos of collaboration and continuous improvement at its heart
- We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join the Controllers organisation and own general ledger accounting and financial reporting for one or more Trustly entities in the Americas region
- This is a hands-on GL and financial reporting role: the successful candidate will be a strong technical accountant with deep US GAAP expertise, comfortable owning the close process end to end and partnering with auditors, tax, and cross-functional finance teams
- Month-End and Year-End Close: Own the accurate and timely month-end and year-end close for assigned entities, including preparing and reviewing journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
- General Ledger Accounting: Maintain the general ledger, ensuring transactions are properly recorded, classified, and supported in accordance with US GAAP
- Financial Reporting: Prepare and/or review financial statements and management reporting packages, ensuring accuracy and compliance with US GAAP (and IFRS at Group level where applicable)
- Audit Management: Act as a day-to-day point of contact for external auditors, preparing audit schedules, responding to requests, and helping ensure a smooth and efficient audit process
- Compliance & Controls: Ensure compliance with US GAAP, internal accounting policies, and relevant financial controls, and support SOX or other regulatory requirements as applicable
- Account Reconciliations: Perform balance sheet reconciliations and analytical reviews, proactively identifying and resolving discrepancies
- Process Improvement: Identify and implement improvements to accounting processes, close efficiency, and internal controls
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Tax, Treasury, FP&A, and other finance and business teams on accounting matters, technical questions, and cross-functional projects
Our take
Trustly is a fintech platform that makes accepting bank transfers for merchants a simple experience, just like taking card payments. Founded in 2008, the company has grown from just three people to operate offices across Europe and the Americas.
Trustly is a customer of banks, while its customers are merchants who are charged a transaction fee when they receive payments. Thousands of merchants use Trustly, including global players likes Facebook, AT&T, Alibaba, PayPal and TransferWise.
Whilst not a common payment method in certain countries (like the UK), people in many others prefer to pay via bank transfer - so there is a real need for what Trustly is offering. The company has made significant expansion progress, secured some highly advantageous partnerships and acquired SlimPay in 2024 - all suggesting a bright future ahead.
