Hiring an Accountant

About the work

Rise Financial Group is a Swiss-Finnish fintech company transforming financial management for small and medium-sized businesses. We bring bookkeeping, payroll, payments, reporting, and banking together into one service, where AI automates the routine and takes the pain out of admin. With Rise, founders and professionals see their company's finances in real time, make better decisions, and get their time back to grow.

We build AI-powered services that change how professional-services and SaaS companies handle their finances — without manual bookkeeping. The company is backed by experienced fintech veterans, including a founder of Paytrail. Rise Financial's mission is to make financial management completely painless: smart technology, Swiss precision, and Finnish practicality.

The role

We're looking for an accounting and payroll professional who wants to do the work smarter than before. In this role you're a core part of our team, and your responsibilities include:

• Handling clients' bookkeeping together with the team
• Running payroll and making sure salaries, side costs, and filings are correct and on time
• Helping automate bookkeeping and payroll processes — and bringing the development team real needs and ideas from the day-to-day work

Who we're looking for

• You hold a KLT qualification (or you want one) and have several years of bookkeeping experience
• You have payroll experience. You know how salaries, holiday pay, side costs, and official filings work in practice. A payroll certification (PHT) is a plus
• You're allowed to hate manual entry and data work — you get excited about automation, technology, and new tools. But you can still do the manual work when it's needed
• You communicate fluently in Finnish, both internally and with clients, and in English when needed
• You understand how professional-services and/or software companies operate
• You're interested in growth, in building things, and in doing the work smarter

Why us?

• A startup with its foundations in place: an experienced team, solid funding, and a clear direction toward international markets
• Real responsibility and influence. You're not a cog — you're a specialist whose view is heard
• A modern approach: automation, data, and expert work at the center
• Room to grow in the role and expand your skills in the fintech world
• Competitive pay: around €3,500–4,500 per month. If the fit is truly excellent, we're ready to build an even better package

Other

• The work is mostly remote, with hybrid as needed
• The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person
• You're occasionally willing to travel, e.g. for team days
