Finance Controller - Typeform

About the Team

You’ll join a small but mighty Accounting & Controlling team at a pivotal moment in our journey.

The function is evolving fast — with a strong mandate to future-proof our accounting environment, strengthen controls, and build scalable processes that support a global SaaS business.

You’ll work side-by-side with the VP of Accounting & Controlling, acting as a trusted partner in both day-to-day execution and ongoing transformation. Together, you’ll help bring structure, visibility, and resilience to the finance function.

About the Role

As a Finance Controller at Typeform, you’ll be at the heart of our accounting and controlling operations — ensuring that the fundamentals run flawlessly while helping us level up how we work. You'll act as a trusted second-in-command to the VP of Accounting & Controlling, combining operational rigour with the technical depth to protect the business and support its next phase of growth.

Typeform faces increasing multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction accounting and tax complexity. This role exists to provide the specialist oversight and hands-on execution to ensure we stay ahead of that curve — from GL integrity and revenue recognition to indirect tax compliance and international expansion support.

Things you will do:

• Own and execute core accounting and controlling processes, including month-end close, reconciliations, and reporting
• Partner closely with the VP of Accounting & Controlling, providing hands-on support across day-to-day operations and key initiatives
• Act as a reliable right-hand in ensuring continuity, accuracy, and consistency across all accounting activities
• Take ownership of indirect tax compliance across our operating jurisdictions — including VAT/GST, digital services taxes, and evolving nexus obligations
• Manage transfer pricing documentation and intercompany frameworks as we expand into new markets
• Oversee revenue recognition processes, ensuring compliance across our subscription and usage-based billing models
• Support audit preparation and execution, working with internal and external stakeholders
• Support entity structuring and local compliance setup as we enter new countries
• Identify opportunities to build in-house tax and accounting expertise, reducing reliance on external advisors
• Help improve and document financial processes, controls, and workflows
• Identify and implement opportunities to streamline, automate, and scale accounting operations
• Collaborate cross-functionally with FP&A, Legal, and other teams to ensure alignment and clarity
  
  

What you already bring to the table:

• Proven experience in accounting, controlling, or auditing within a fast-paced technology environment
• Strong understanding of accounting principles (IFRS preferred)
• Solid grasp of revenue recognition standards, particularly in subscription or usage-based models 
• Hands-on experience with indirect tax (VAT/GST) compliance across multiple jurisdictions 
• Familiarity with multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction accounting frameworks 
• Proven experience with month-end close and financial reporting
• A hands-on mindset with the ability to operate both independently and as part of a team
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• High attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across functions
  
  

Extra awesome:

• Experience in a SaaS or tech environment
• Experience with transfer pricing or international tax structuring
• Exposure to digital services taxes or SaaS-specific tax complexity
• Background in audit (Big 4 or similar)
• Exposure to finance transformation or process improvement initiatives
• Experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite)
