ABOUT FONIO
We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months and now serve 10,000+ customers.
Fonio is Europe’s market leader for AI phone agents for SMBs. Now we’re expanding globally and into new products.
We move fast, take ownership, give direct feedback, and avoid politics and unnecessary meetings.

THE ROLE
You make sure Fonio's numbers are right and can stand up to auditors and investors. That means owning the monthly and year-end close, and solving tricky questions such as how to account for pay-per-minute revenue across nine markets and more.

Operational ownership: Own day-to-day accounting, including AP/AR, reconciliations, master data and bookkeeping.
Monthly close & reporting: Own monthly closing and recurring statutory filings (VAT, ZM, Intrastat, etc.), working closely with our tax advisors.
Revenue recognition: make sure usage-based revenue is recognised correctly and consistently.
Multi-entity: run intercompany accounting, currencies and consolidation as UK and US entities come online, and integrate acquisitions such as fluently.
Controls and policies: write accounting policies and controls that hold up in investor due diligence.
Oversight: keep billing, payables and payroll postings accurate, and improve processes and systems as volume grows.
WHAT YOU BRING
Must-haves
4 to 7 years in accounting, ideally with audit firm training plus time at a tech or SaaS company.
Qualified or part-qualified (Bilanzbuchhalter, ACCA, CPA or similar).
Has owned month-end and year-end close and statutory accounts under Austrian GAAP (UGB).
Confident handling audits and technical accounting questions.
Fluent in English.
Nice-to-haves
Revenue recognition for subscription or usage-based pricing.
