Financial Controller

We believe great companies are built by people who are driven to solve difficult problems. At Nextory, we're building the future of reading and listening. It's an ambitious goal that demands exceptional execution, relentless curiosity, and a willingness to challenge convention. We set a high bar for ourselves because we believe that's what it takes to create products people love. If you're motivated by impact, energized by ambitious teammates, and excited by the opportunity to build something category-defining, you'll feel at home here. Let us tell you about the role 📖 This is a broad role that sits close to both the numbers and the business. You will play a key role in our monthly close, follow up costs against budget, and work across our international entities, and at the same time you'll be one of the people rethinking how all of it gets done. You'll get a lot of ownership from the start, and plenty of room to run with your own ideas. If you spot something that could be automated, streamlined or built better - bring it up, and then go build it. That's the fun part: the better you are at building, the more of this role becomes analysis. Your main responsibilities will include: Driving improvement projects through automation and AI Contributing to larger projects, including new systems and ways of working Handling the monthly close for our parent company and subsidiaries Reconciling costs, explaining deviations and identifying accruals Coordinating subsidiary close activities with external accounting partners Producing ad-hoc analyses and decision support for management Managing VAT reporting and external provider approvals across markets Contributing to budgeting and planning Supporting colleagues with data, documentation and NetSuite insights Your story so far 👀 We believe you're an accountant or controller who hates doing the same thing twice. You know your way around spreadsheets and debit-credit, but you're also always looking for smarter ways to work, whether through automation, AI, agents, or a bit of code. Most of all, you're curious. You like trying new things, taking initiative, and experimenting, even when not everything works out because around here, that’s how we learn. Furthermore, we believe you have: A degree in accounting, finance, business administration or similar 3+ years of experience in controlling and/or accounting, including hands-on work with month-end close A solid understanding of accounting principles and how the numbers are built, international or group experience is a plus Strong Excel skills, and experience with a modern ERP (NetSuite experience is a big plus) Fluency in Swedish and English, written and spoken We’d be especially happy to see: That you already use AI tools in your everyday work, and have found ways to make them genuinely useful Some experience of getting data out of systems yourself, rather than waiting for someone else to build the report That you've tried your hand at automating something, whether that's a smart Excel solution, a simple script, or a tool you found and made work Curiosity about how AI and agents could take over parts of the manual work in Finance Experience improving reporting or dashboards You don't need to tick every box. If you know your way around the numbers and have a real builder's instinct, we want to talk to you. The Nextory way of working 🏠 At Nextory, we believe a strong and inclusive culture is key to our success and that culture flourishes when we meet and collaborate in person as much as possible.
