This individual contributor role reports directly to the VP of Finance Operations and sits at the heart of SumUp's most significant financial flows across Europe, the US, and Latin America.
You will be responsible for designing and continuously improving accounting processes for payments, banking, and lending products. Working with large, complex datasets, you'll identify process gaps, reconciliation issues, and automation opportunities. You'll collaborate closely with finance and business stakeholders to ensure accounting processes scale and adapt with the business. As the finance domain expert, you'll work with Systems Architects, ERP teams, and product teams to ensure accounting logic is properly reflected in SAP S/4HANA and SAP FICO systems. You'll drive automation across the FGL domain, transforming manual, fragmented processes into scalable, reliable accounting flows.
This role offers significant cross-functional influence within a global finance function. You'll be part of the Finance Accounting & Controlling team in Sofia, working with colleagues across multiple continents. The scope and impact of this position grows with SumUp's business, which currently serves over 4 million businesses across 37 markets.

- Experience working with SAP financial modules, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP FICO
- Comfortable working with technology teams; ability to translate finance requirements into actionable items for technical teams
