About the team
The Financial General Ledger (FGL) team sits at the strategic core of SumUp's financial operations. We're not your typical accounting team — we own the financial integrity of SumUp's core business, ensuring every euro of revenue and cost from our lending, payments, and merchant banking products is accurately captured and analyzed.
Responsibilities
•Take ownership of complex reconciliations within one of SumUp's revenue streams such as lending, e-money or merchant banking
•Investigate mismatches and data gaps between backoffice systems, ledgers and cash flows, and resolve them at the root cause rather than case by case
•Review postings and reconciliations completed by junior colleagues, checking for accuracy, completeness and audit ready documentation
•Post complex accrual, impairment and revenue recognition entries, and support month-end close within tight deadlines
•Work directly with Product, Controlling and other teams to understand how systems and data connect, and where improvements are needed
•Help build structured tracking and documentation for open reconciling items and controls, supporting SumUp's move towards a stronger control environment
Requirements
•Strong accounting background gained in an international company or audit firm, comfortable with financial reporting, GL entries and revenue recognition
