Our offices are based in Berlin, Prague, Melbourne, Brazil, Bangalore, and London.

We are a growing team of more than 400 passionate employees from more than 50 countries who share the same vision: to create a single tool to help send travellers almost anywhere in the world.

Behind every booking, every transaction, every partnership is a financial operation that needs to be bulletproof. As we scale globally, we're hiring a Financial Controller to ensure our financial foundation is as robust and reliable as the platform we're building for travelers.

Reporting to our Head of Controlling & FP&A, you'll own the accuracy, integrity, and operational excellence of our financial controlling function—accountable for everything from month-end close and approval processes to financial reporting and compliance across our multi-country, multi-entity structure.

This is financial controlling at global scale: 46 countries, 1000+ supplier relationships, and millions of customer transactions. You'll work closely with Finance Operations, Group Accounting, Financial Planning and business teams across our global offices to maintain financial precision, strengthen controls, and deliver reliable insights. You'll have the autonomy to strengthen controls that work internationally, the challenge of maintaining precision in a complex, fast-moving business, and the satisfaction of knowing that behind every seamless journey our users take, the financial foundation you built is rock-solid.

What You'll Do

• Own the full financial reporting cycle across our multi-entity structure—monthly, quarterly, and annual statements, flash reporting, and all reconciliations in between.
• Be the approval authority: review and sign off on hires, invoices, and purchase orders across markets, verifying that every commitment matches budget and has proper justification.
• Drive month-end close processes with precision, managing the complexity of high transaction volumes across 46 countries and multiple entities.
• Prepare bank and investor reports, monitor covenant compliance, and maintain strong relationships with external stakeholders as we continue our growth trajectory.
• Lead variance analysis between flash and actuals—dig into discrepancies across entities and markets, identify root causes, and ensure the numbers tell the true story.
• Partner with Group Accounting on audit preparation and serve as the expert on our financial records and consolidation.
• Collaborate with business units across Berlin, Prague, Melbourne, Brazil, Bangalore, and London to review cost reports and track performance against budgets.
• Build and optimize approval workflows, cost allocation models, and KPI tracking frameworks through our ERP systems to support our global operations.
• Drive automation of controlling and reporting processes—bringing efficiency to scale without compromising control.
• Establish and document best practices for financial controlling that will support us as we continue expanding globally.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in financial controlling (as Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Senior Accountant, or similar) in complex, multi-entity, international environments with high transaction volumes across countries and currencies.
• Experience from larger organizations with robust controls, audit processes, and compliance frameworks across jurisdictions.
• Direct accountability for approvals—you've signed off on invoices, POs, and hires, verifying budget alignment and proper justification.
• Deep love for the details: reconciliations, variance investigations, and transaction verification are your craft, especially at high volume. When something looks off across thousands of transactions, you find it.
• Strong command of IFRS/GAAP and proficiency with ERP systems, Excel, and financial reporting tools (Looker a plus).
• Clear communicator who explains complex accounting matters to non-finance stakeholders across a global team.
