Embat is a fast-growing European FinTech scale-up founded in 2021, now operating as a financial operating system for mid-market and enterprise companies. The company recently secured €30M in Series B funding (May 2026) and is expanding internationally across Spain, UK, and DACH regions. You'll join the Finance team in Madrid as an Accounting Specialist, playing a hands-on role in ensuring financial data reliability while building scalable accounting processes for the company's next growth phase.
This is not a traditional back-office accounting role. You'll operate in a fast-paced, high-volume fintech environment where you combine strong accounting fundamentals with a proactive, problem-solving mindset. The role requires someone comfortable with tight deadlines, high transaction volumes, and a culture of radical ownership.

- Detect accounting inconsistencies and resolve issues proactively
- Collaborate with the Financial Controller and cross-functional teams on data reliability
- Identify and drive process improvements and automation opportunities
First 90 Days: Become fully autonomous in day-to-day accounting operations and reconciliation processes; understand Embat's accounting workflows, tools, and reporting structure; contribute actively to monthly closings with high attention to detail.
First 6 Months: Own key operational accounting processes independently; improve efficiency in reconciliation and invoice management workflows; become a reliable point of contact for operational accounting topics.
First 12 Months: Help strengthen and scale Embat's accounting foundations as the company grows internationally; drive meaningful process improvements and automation initiatives; contribute to building a highly efficient and scalable finance operation.
Requirements:

- Degree in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, or related fields
- Solid understanding of the full accounting cycle
- Experience with bank reconciliations and accounts payable/accounts receivable management
- Experience working with ERP or accounting software (Business Central is a plus)
