Senior Financial Accountant at Satispay (Milan, Italy)Senior Financial Accountant

Traditional banking has never really given you control over your financial life. Satispay exists to change that: to empower people through finance.

That means making financial services easy and accessible for over 6.5M users. We started with payments, then benefits, investing, cards... and we’re not done. Not even close. We follow the same logic every time: find a real problem, solve it properly, then look for the next one. The destination? To build the most loved financial platform in the world. If you own outcomes rather than tasks, stay close to what users need, and refuse to wait for someone else to fix what's broken — you'll find people here who work exactly in the same way. And together, you'll build something worth being proud of.

As our Senior Financial Accountant, you'll ensure the integrity of our financial records and drive excellence across our accounting operations.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• General Ledger and Subledger Ownership – Take full responsibility for General Ledger accounting, ensuring accurate and timely postings, robust documentation standards, and full reconciliation of subledgers. Oversee accounts payable and receivable ledgers, ensuring proper clearing of suspense accounts and accurate reconciliation of bank movements.
• Balance Sheet Integrity – Prepare and review detailed balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring traceability and consistency across accounts.
• Fixed assets and Capex accounting – Manage capitalization policies, amortization schedules, and related accounting treatments.
• Payroll Accounting – Oversee payroll accounting entries in coordination with external providers, ensuring accurate accruals, reconciliations, and consistency with statutory records.
• Audit and Compliance Support – Act as key contact for statutory auditors and provide structured, high-quality supporting documentation.
• Tax and Regulatory Support – Prepare accounting data required for VAT and other tax filings, ensuring consistency with accounting records.
• Continuous Improvement – Identify and implement improvements to enhance efficiency, control, and documentation within the accounting function.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone detail-oriented, accountable, and equipped with strong accounting expertise to ensure financial accuracy and operational excellence.

• Experience – At least 5 years of experience in accounting within fintech, finance or corporate services, with strong exposure to full closing cycles.
• Accounting Knowledge – Solid knowledge of local accounting principles (Italian and/or Luxembourg GAAP). IFRS exposure is considered a plus.
• Proactive Mindset – Ability to work effectively in dynamic and fast-paced environments, meeting tight deadlines with precision.
• Ownership, Accountability and Team Contribution – Ability to independently manage complex accounting topics and take full responsibility for assigned entities, while actively contributing to the overall quality, consistency, and performance of the Accounting team.
• Technical Skills – Comfortable working in structured ERP environments and modern digital accounting ecosystems. Strong analytical skills and advanced spreadsheet proficiency are required. Experience with automation, data tools, or scripting-based workflows is a plus. Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA is a strong plus.
• Languages – Fluent in Italian and English, ensuring effective communication with international teams.

Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
