Arbetsbeskrivning

GeoGuessr was founded in 2013 and has since grown into a global gaming company with more than 120 million players worldwide. Today, we're a team of just over 80 employees, continuing to build one of the world's most beloved geography games.

We're looking for a Business Controller / Accounting Manager to help shape the next phase of our finance function. The role is designed in two phases. Initially, you'll take full ownership of the accounting function while our current Accounting Manager is on parental leave. Once returning, your role will transition as planned to focus primarily on Business Controlling—a new function that you'll lead and develop together with our CFO.

This is a unique opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their career with increasing responsibility in Business Controlling. You'll help build a new function from the ground up, working closely with our CFO to improve how GeoGuessr measures performance and supports business-critical decision-making. If you're motivated by combining accounting, analysis, and business in an international growth company, we'd love to hear from you.

Initially, you'll be responsible for the entire accounting process, ensuring high quality across day-to-day accounting, month-end and year-end closing, and financial reporting. Once the parental leave period ends, the role will transition to primarily focus on Business Controlling. Together with the CFO, you'll build and further develop our controlling function with the goal of creating better business insights, stronger performance follow-up, and more effective decision support. A key part of the role will be developing how we measure and manage the business through relevant KPIs, dashboards, reports and business-focused analysis. You'll also have a key role in budgeting, forecasting, performance reporting, profitability analysis, and scenario planning to support both strategic and operational decision-making.

You'll continue to play an important role within the accounting function, contributing your accounting expertise during month-end and year-end close, financial reporting, and other periods of high workload. Success in this role requires a strong accounting foundation combined with a business-oriented mindset and a genuine interest in analysis.
