- Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent), with significant post-qualification experience and a track record of managing a team
- Experience managing a diverse team across geographies
- Comfortable bringing technical accounting knowledge to cross-functional and strategic projects, not just running the close

- Skilled at running a tight, predictable month-end process
- Transfer pricing and multi-entity or group consolidation experience
- SaaS and/or fintech experience is a strong plus
- Experience in a regulated financial services environment (e-money, payments, or similar) is a strong plus
- Bonus if you speak Danish as our HQ is in Copenhagen

- Own bank reconciliation and cash visibility across the group's banking partners and currencies
- Set and enforce posting controls and chart-of-accounts policy across the group

- Drive the automation and streamlining of our processes whilst ensuring strong financial controls
- Partner closely with FP&A on forecast-to-actuals reconciliation and board reporting inputs
- Technical ownership of the company ERP system. It is a plus if you have evaluated ERPs or have led an ERP transition
- Act as the primary point of contact for our external auditors (PwC), driving audit readiness and closing out requests on time
- Drive AI adoption across finance, we have made huge strides and are AI native, and we want you to continue that
- Own transfer pricing compliance and documentation across group entities
- Bring technical accounting judgment to strategic finance projects as Monta evolves, for example new entity structures or evolving revenue recognition needs
- Lead technical accounting input on product development such as invoice generation and VAT engine
- Own statutory audit and group compliance across all entities

Our take
Monta is an EV charging company that is building ways to make it easier to charge EVs from wherever you are. In order to do so, the company is working to digitise the EV charging ecosystem via a charging management platform.
Transforming mobility is a leading global effort towards a greener society and European cities are rapidly seeing the uptake of electric vehicles. In spite of this, there is a dearth of EV charging points, and Monta is trying to rectify this issue through its unique all-in-one EV charging platform, which makes charging vehicles simple and seamless, thereby increasing the adoption of a more sustainable method of transport.
Monta has invested its efforts toward opening up new markets, specifically North America, whilst consolidating its market position in Scandinavia, the UK, and Germany, and most recently, it expanded into Canada. Alongside this, the company recently partnered with Octopus Fleet to support the expansion of its fleet and energy services. This partnership strengthens Monta's role in large-scale fleet electrification and puts the company in a strong position as demand for reliable EV charging continues to grow.
