About us

We are fast-growing company headquartered in a vibrant office space in central Copenhagen. Our finance team works closely with C-level management and across departments, supporting both daily operations and strategic decision-making.

ViaBill operates at the frontier of FinTech and has partnerships with global giants such as Apple, MasterCard, UniCredit, and many more.

We value responsibility, ownership, and attention to detail. We are looking for people who want to build something solid, improve how things are done, and grow with the company.

The environment is hands-on, ambitious, and pragmatic, with a strong focus on automation, process improvement, and meeting deadlines in a fast-paced scale-up setting.

The role

We are looking for an experienced and reliable accountant to join our finance team at HQ in Copenhagen. This role is ideal for a senior accountant who wants ownership without full people-management responsibility.

You will join a well-functioning finance team that is pro-actively being strengthened to ensure stable, predictable performance. This role is designed for someone who wants to take ownership of core accounting areas while working in close cooperation with both junior colleagues and finance leadership.

This is not a narrowly defined bookkeeping role: flexibility, structure, and responsibility are key as well as inter-personal skills for cooperation across departments and leading more junior team members.

You will have end-to-end ownership of key accounting areas and act as a first point of contact for operational accounting matters.

Oversee bank reconciliations, including resolving exceptions and working with automation tools

Execute monthly closing activities (accruals, salary entries, VAT reporting)

Prepare and file Danish VAT returns independently

Support recovery and follow-up activities by ensuring appropriate documentation, approvals, and accounting treatment are in place

Liaise with internal stakeholders, including C-level management, to resolve queries and meet deadlines

Improvement and leadership

Contribute to improving accounting workflows, documentation, and internal controls

Support automation initiatives and continuous process improvement

Over time, provide guidance and day-to-day support to more junior team members

Experience with Danish accounting and VAT filings

Strong sense of responsibility and ownership: tasks are followed through to completion

Strong attention to detail and accuracy

Solid Excel skills and confidence working with numbers

Clear and proactive communication

Ability to work independently in a dynamic, scale-up environment

The role involves managing a broad range of accounting activities. While individual tasks are straightforward, success comes from being structured, organized, and able to keep overview across multiple workstreams

Good time management and comfort working with deadlines, especially around month-end and audit

We use e-conomic, Zenegy, Pleo, Excel, Power BI as key tools – experience is not a must but a plus

Fluent in Danish (written and spoken)

Comfortable working in English (our working language)

Based in or willing to work from our Copenhagen office

You will work closely with finance leadership and internal stakeholders, contributing to both operational execution and continuous improvement.

Opportunity to influence and improve finance processes in a growing company

A supportive, pragmatic, and professional team environment

Office located in central Copenhagen
