Oversee full accounting cycle across multiple entities, manage payroll and payments, ensure compliance, drive automation, and report financials to the CEO.
Smeetz is the leading AI-powered unified commerce platform for the European leisure and entertainment industry with 200+ venues, 10+ countries, €10M raised, and a Series A in motion.
We need a trusted senior operator to own the operational backbone of Finance: full accounting cycle across 5 entities (CH, UK, FR, US, ES), payroll, payment cycles, reporting, and controlling, automated end-to-end with AI and modern tooling.
Reports directly to the CEO. This is a delegation hire: leadership stops worrying about Finance once you're in the seat. We move fast and expect the same with precision without bureaucracy.
Key responsibilities- Accounting Ownership: Full cycle with journals, accruals, provisions, reconciliations, month-end and year-end close. Mentor the Operations Assistant on AP/AR.
- Multi-Entity Compliance: Primary contact for accounting partners in UK, FR, US, ES. Review and approve subsidiary financials and tax presentations. Support audits, statutory filings, transfer pricing.
- Payroll & Payments: Own end-to-end payroll across jurisdictions. Run regular AP cycles to safeguard funds availability. The CEO does not need to follow up.
- Reporting & Controlling: Timely financial statements, KPI dashboards, budget-to-actual, variance analysis, cash flow. Challenge department leads when material deviations from budget appear; surface root causes to the CEO with clean supporting analysis.
- Data Integrity: Streamline workflows between Sales, Account Management, Implementation, and Finance. Eliminate reconciliation friction.
- Automation & AI: Drive AI adoption inside Finance. Replace manual work with AI and no-code automation (Anthropic Claude, n8n, Notion, Zapier). Goal: a Finance function that runs on systems, not on hours.

- Full professional English; French, Spanish, or German a plus
- SaaS or scale-up experience a plus; SQL exposure a plus
- Trustable: leadership delegates Finance to you and stops worrying.
- Precise: accuracy is a personal standard, not a checklist.
- Fast & energetic: bias to action. Ships work. Doesn't wait for instructions.
- Process-driven: turns inefficiencies into repeatable, automated workflows.
- AI-native: tools are leverage, not threats. You drive AI adoption.
- Independent: self-directed, communicates outcomes not status updates.
