Finance & Operations Manager

Why this role exists

We’re looking for a Finance & Operations Manager to own and develop Pit’s finance function across our Swedish and US entities.

You’ll work with the founding team, accounting partners and auditors. You’ll be responsible for budgets, cash forecasts, monthly reporting and audit preparation, as well as improving the processes behind them. The role also covers company administration and operational projects involving people, legal and commercial teams.

We expect you to use AI and automation in your work and build workflows that reduce manual work without compromising the accuracy of our finances.

What you own

• Maintaining the budget and cash forecast, explaining differences against plan and flagging financial risks.
• Running the monthly close with our accounting partners, including reviewing the accounts, checking reconciliations and preparing financial reports.
• Leading the annual audit process, taking responsibility for the numbers and supporting documentation, and resolving questions with auditors.
• Building and improving financial controls for payments, expenses, purchasing and reporting.
• Coordinating intercompany transactions, tax matters and company structure across our Swedish and US entities, working with specialist advisors where needed.
• Supporting equity and company administration, including option programmes, board materials and corporate records.
• Building and improving AI and automation workflows for finance, with checks on financial outputs and how sensitive data is handled.
• Constantly reviewing AI and software costs, tracking usage and value, and removing unnecessary spend.
• Taking on operational projects involving finance, people, legal and commercial operations.

What success looks like

• The founding team has accurate financial reporting and a clear view of cash, spending and risks.
• Monthly close and the annual audit are completed on time, with reconciled accounts and supporting documentation.
• Financial processes require less manual work and have checks that catch errors.

Qualifications

Required

• Experience in accounting, audit, controlling or finance, including direct responsibility for a company’s finances.
• A solid understanding of financial statements, bookkeeping, budgeting, cash management and financial controls.
• Experience owning or playing a leading role in monthly close, reporting and audit preparation.
• AI is already part of how you work. You can show workflows or tools you have built or automated and explain how you check their output.
• You can investigate accounting discrepancies, question an answer that does not look right and resolve issues independently.

Preferred

• Experience in a startup or growing company.
