- **Location:** Stockholm, Sweden
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** hybrid
- **Posted:** 2026-10-14

## Job description

Mission Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

## Role Purpose

As accounting lead, you will take ownership of the accounting for a portfolio of group entities across Europe and the UK, including the intercompany and consolidation work that ties the group together. You will work closely with the wider finance team to keep the books accurate and audit-ready, act as a go-to resource for the accounting team, and contribute to the modernisation of how the finance function operates. This is not a people-management role — it is a senior, hands-on role with broad ownership and influence over how the team works.

What you'll do in the first 6-12 Months

- Own the day-to-day and month-end accounting for group entities across Europe and the UK.
- Coordinate and contribute to the month-end close calendar for your entities, keeping close on track and on time.
- Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring balances are accurate, well documented and timely.
- Perform intercompany (IC) reconciliations across the group, resolving mismatches and ensuring intercompany balances agree.
- Contribute to group consolidation accounting, ensuring entity-level results roll up correctly into the group numbers.
- Handle VAT and tax compliance matters for your entities, including VAT reconciliations across jurisdictions.
- Support statutory reporting and annual accounts for your entities, in collaboration with auditors.
- Act as a key point of contact for external and internal audit, preparing supporting documentation and resolving audit queries.
- Contribute to system ownership of Business Central for your entities, including chart-of-accounts and setup questions, and liaise with external BC consultants where needed.
- Identify and drive process improvements across accounting and financial control routines.
- Act as a go-to resource for the wider accounting team — answering questions, supporting onboarding, and helping shape more efficient ways of working (no formal people-management responsibility).
- Participate in, and where relevant lead, cross-functional finance projects.

## Minimum Requirements

- 10+ years of relative experience.
- A background in audit — for example from an accounting or audit firm — is a strong plus.
- Solid experience with financial accounting, balance sheet reconciliations and month-end close in a multi-entity or international group.
- Experience with intercompany reconciliations and group consolidation accounting.
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC).
- A structured, detail-oriented approach, comfortable working across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
- Fluent in English, written and spoken.

## Nice to have

- Experience using AI tools such as Claude, or similar modern finance/tech stacks, to support accounting and reporting work.

## About Neko Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Neko Health is a healthcare technology company that has engineered a proprietary, data-driven preventive health scan to detect early signs of disease in otherwise healthy individuals.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Funding Stage: Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Stockholm, Sweden
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Daniel Ek (Co-founder, also founder/CEO of Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Healthcare Technology, Preventive Medicine, Clinical Diagnostics
- Target customers: B2C – Health-conscious individuals; B2B Potential – Self-insured employers
- Mission or purpose statement: “To provide healthcare that’s proactive instead of reactive – so that people can live longer, healthier lives.”

## Products & Services
- **[The Neko Health Scan]**: A 60-minute, full-body health check that captures millions of data points across the skin, heart, blood, and circulation using four proprietary devices (Derma, Spectrum, Echo, and Neko Lens). Includes an unrushed consultation with a doctor where results are discussed immediately. The scan is priced at approximately 2750kr (~$260) in Sweden and is designed for asymptomatic, healthy individuals looking for prevention.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (as of mid-2026).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – **$325.1M** (one prior funding round).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by “investors who have built and scaled some of the most ambitious technology companies of the last two decades” (individual names not publicly listed on career page). The company has strong ties to the tech and startup ecosystem.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 1,000 employees (more than half in clinical roles). Aggressive expansion with active clinic locations in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Stockholm, and plans for more. Job postings have increased +344.4% year-over-year (as of mid-2026), indicating rapid scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary Hardware**: All four scanning devices are designed, engineered, and assembled in-house in Stockholm, creating a hard-to-replicate technological moat.
- **Integrated Clinical Model**: Unlike traditional clinics or digital health apps, Neko combines its proprietary hardware with on-site doctors, clinical researchers, and data science under one roof with a low patient volume per doctor ( ~9 members/day vs. 30+ in standard care). This enables a focus on prevention, not just treatment.
- **Data Moat**: The system captures millions of structured data points per scan, allowing for peer benchmarking and longitudinal tracking over years, creating a powerful, network-effect dataset for preventive health insights.
- **Leadership**: Co-founded by Daniel Ek (Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Scan Room**: Neko is actively testing a second-generation modular scan room platform designed to capture more signals and scale to new locations.
- **Global Expansion**: Opening new clinics across the UK and Europe, with a clear intent to make the service more accessible.
- **Clinical Research & Governance**: Continued focus on validating their devices with clinical studies and building a clinical leadership team (including ex-NHS and Amazon Health executives) to establish preventive care as a formal clinical discipline.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The company was founded to solve the fundamental problem of late-stage diagnosis by focusing on prevention. The work is presented as having a direct, positive impact on human longevity.
- **Culture & Engineering**: The company actively showcases a deep engineering culture where “clinical insight can become a hardware iteration overnight.” Clinicians and engineers share the same floor, fostering rapid iteration and innovation.
- **Compensation & Benefits**: Salaries are benchmarked via market research. Benefits include comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401K, Paid Time Off, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, CME Days, and Commuter Benefits.
- **Work Model**: Roles are **on-site** at specific clinic locations. Training for medical roles is fully paid. The interview process is designed to give candidates a feel for the culture and mission.
- **Growth Trajectory**: With 80+ active job postings and triple-digit growth in hiring, the company is in a high-growth phase, offering significant career development opportunities.
