Head of Accounting building Yunicorn’s accounting, reporting, systems, and team. Supporting the company builder’s international portfolio across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Responsibilities:

  • Build Yunicorn’s accounting department from the ground up—from foundational structures and processes to systems and tools
  • Develop and implement scalable accounting and reporting structures for the internationally growing ecosystem
  • Select and implement technical infrastructure, including accounting software, automation, and integrations
  • Build and lead your own team, both professionally and disciplinarily
  • Advise and strategically support partners and management on all finance and accounting matters
  • Ensure compliance, accurate financial close processes, and reliable reporting across multiple portfolio companies
  • Maintain an entrepreneurial perspective across the entire ecosystem

Requirements:

  • Several years of accounting experience, ideally including responsibility for building functions or leading teams
  • Experience in a VC, incubation, or startup environment is a strong advantage, particularly experience working with multiple portfolio companies in parallel
  • Technical understanding of modern accounting systems
  • Willingness to actively digitize processes rather than simply manage them
  • Good judgment for solutions that are both compliant and pragmatic
  • Hands-on mentality combined with strategic thinking at partner level
  • Full commitment (Full Focus)
  • A résumé is sufficient for the application; cover letters and certificates are not required

Benefits:

  • Genuine freedom to shape the function: build something from the ground up rather than following a predefined template
  • Direct access to the partners and short decision-making paths
  • A substantial role with partner-level responsibility
  • An international, entrepreneurial environment that values bold ideas and disciplined execution equally
  • Video-call-based application process
  • No cover letter or certificates required
