About Monta
Monta connects hardware, software, businesses, and drivers into one seamless charging ecosystem. Our mission is to make charging simple, reliable, and scalable for everyone.
Monta is a company of builders. We move fast, break friction, and use AI to multiply output. No politics, no fluff - the best idea wins, always.
We're looking for a Director of Finance who's ready to roll up their sleeves and own group financial control end to end. You will be reporting to our UK based CFO and be a key member of his leadership team.
What You’ll Do
-
Group Financial Control & Close
Own the group month-end close process, driving toward a faster and more predictable close
Hold sign-off authority on accounting treatment across entities, including VAT and revenue recognition judgment calls
Own group consolidation and inter-company eliminations across multiple entities and currencies
Oversee payroll, AR and AP management
Own bank reconciliation and cash visibility across the group's banking partners and currencies
Set and enforce posting controls and chart-of-accounts policy across the group
Team & Process Leadership
Manage and develop the wider group accounting team including third party book keepers, with multiple direct reports
Drive the automation and streamlining of our processes whilst ensuring strong financial controls
Partner closely with FP&A on forecast-to-actuals reconciliation and board reporting inputs
Technical ownership of the company ERP system. It is a plus if you have evaluated ERPs or have led an ERP transition
Compliance & Strategic Projects
Act as the primary point of contact for our external auditors (PwC), driving audit readiness and closing out requests on time
Drive AI adoption across finance, we have made huge strides and are AI native, and we want you to continue that
Own transfer pricing compliance and documentation across group entities
Bring technical accounting judgment to strategic finance projects as Monta evolves, for example new entity structures or evolving revenue recognition needs
Lead technical accounting input on product development such as invoice generation and VAT engine
Own statutory audit and group compliance across all entities
What We're Looking For
If the mission excites you but your experience isn’t a perfect 1:1 match, apply anyway — we care about potential, not perfection.
Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent), with significant post-qualification experience and a track record of managing a team
Experience managing a diverse team across geographies
Comfortable bringing technical accounting knowledge to cross-functional and strategic projects, not just running the close
Demonstrable experience building and managing bespoke finance solutions with AI and a bonus if you have led an ERP migration
Skilled at running a tight, predictable month-end process
Transfer pricing and multi-entity or group consolidation experience
SaaS and/or fintech experience is a strong plus
Experience in a regulated financial services environment (e-money, payments, or similar) is a strong plus
Bonus if you speak Danish as our HQ is in Copenhagen
AI Competency
You’ll be expected to work with AI-powered tools. Some we use:
GitHub Copilot / Claude Code
ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude
Notion AI (docs, knowledge, meeting notes)
Analytics & ML: Langfuse, PyTorch, Mastra
AI-enhanced testing & monitoring (e.g., generative QA, Grafana ML)
We don’t expect mastery of all — but we expect comfort learning, experimenting, and adopting AI responsibly.
Why Monta
Real authority. You'll own group-level financial control for a scaling EV-charging platform, with real sign-off authority from day one.
Ownership from day one. All Monta employees are owners of the company and part of the journey.
The people are extraordinary. You'll work directly with senior finance leadership. We believe we do the best when we are together and so we are in the office 3 days a week driving the business.
Build the function, don't just run it. You're joining while the close process is actively being modernized. What gets automated and rebuilt from here is yours to decide, not inherited from someone else's playbook.
Real scale, real mission. Monta powers charging for 300,000+ monthly users. The numbers you close each month are funding the infrastructure behind the EV transition.
Breadth most Directors of Finance don't get this early. Multiple entities, multiple currencies, and a direct line into board-level reporting, all in one seat.
