With a founder’s mentality and a 'team-first’ attitude, our diverse teams across Europe, South America, and the United States work together to ensure that small business owners can be successful doing what they love.

Team Description

You will lead SumUp’s strong 50-member Global Accounting Operations team across Brazil, Bulgaria, and Chile, overseeing Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, and Financial Ledger processes in a high-growth, multi-entity fintech environment. This role sits at the centre of our global finance ecosystem, ensuring accounting excellence, operational consistency, and scalable financial infrastructure across regions.

Your impact will go far beyond managing transactional accounting. You will unify regional structures under one global operating model, elevate leadership capability within local teams, and embed automation and process discipline that directly improve reporting accuracy, close timelines, decision-making quality, and adhere to strict ICFR compliance.

Reporting directly to the Vice President of Finance Operations, you will partner closely with Finance leaders, Treasury, FP&A, Global Process Owners, Finance Systems Architect, and an exceptional in-house ERP [SAP] team to strengthen governance, enhance internal controls, and build a future-ready accounting function that supports SumUp’s continued growth.
