Senior Finance Manager

Do you have experience building scalable finance operations in a B2B SaaS environment? Are you energized by automation, clean data and translating financial complexity into business clarity? If yes – this is a great opportunity to join an ambitious and fast\-growing SaaS company!

Who we are

We are a fast\-growing SaaS scale\-up (80\+ people, 450\+ customers across 38 countries) offering an end\-to\-end Component Content Management System (CCMS). We enable global enterprises to create, manage and deliver structured content where accuracy and governance are non\-negotiable. Our ambition is to evolve from a documentation platform into the structured content infrastructure that enterprises need to make AI trustworthy.

The Mission

A company scaling this fast needs a financial engine that scales with it. As our Senior Finance Manager, you won't just "run the books." You will design, automate and execute the finance operations that power our growth – ensuring our financial engine is as data\-driven and scalable as the product we build.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Finance Manager to be the architectural and operational backbone of Paligo's Finance function. While the CFO focuses on corporate strategy and financial planning, you own the operational execution – and act as a key partner to the CFO along the way.

Operating with high levels of autonomy, you will bridge the gap between financial data and business operations, leading a team of two (Junior Accountant and Payroll Specialist) and working closely with the CFO, Leadership Team and stakeholders across the business.

This role is for a hands\-on finance leader who:

• Builds for scale: You see every manual task as an automation opportunity. You prefer scalable workflows over workarounds, and you know how to get there.


• Owns the numbers end to end: From daily accounting to annual audit, you take full accountability for accuracy, timeliness and quality.


• Translates data into decisions: You turn financial data and SaaS metrics into clear, actionable insights for the CFO, Leadership Team and the wider business.


• Combines seniority with prestigelessness: You have the strategic weight to design complex financial processes – and the drive to roll up your sleeves and execute routine tasks whenever needed.

• Finance operations: Own daily accounting operations end to end – invoicing, AR, AP, cash collection and payroll oversight – while leading and developing the Finance team.


• Business performance: Own SaaS metrics analysis (ARR/MRR, churn, NRR), monthly management reporting and the monthly Business Review meetings with internal stakeholders.


• Automation and AI: Lead the evaluation and implementation of tools and AI\-driven solutions that maximize automation and eliminate manual work across Finance.

Finance operations and team leadership

• Take end\-to\-end accountability for daily accounting operations, including invoicing, AR, AP, cash collection and payroll oversight.


• Lead and optimize the monthly and annual book\-close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting.


• Manage, mentor and develop the Finance team, building operational resilience and cross\-training to eliminate key\-person dependencies.

• Drive the preparation of annual financial statements and act as the primary, independent lead contact for external auditors.


• Own ongoing corporate tax, VAT compliance and regulatory requirements across relevant Paligo jurisdictions.

• Continuously follow up, validate and analyze critical SaaS metrics (ARR/MRR, churn, NRR) to ensure alignment between financial and operational data.


• Own the preparation and analysis of the Monthly Business Review report, translating financial data into clear business insights.


• Drive and take full responsibility for the monthly Business Review meetings with internal stakeholders.

• Oversee and optimize daily liquidity and short\-to\-mid\-term cash flow forecasting, ensuring efficient working capital management.

• Proactively drive transformation and continuous improvement within accounting and financial reporting, building scalable workflows that support growth.


• Lead the evaluation and implementation of tools, software and AI\-driven solutions to maximize automation and increase efficiency within Finance.

• Act as a key sounding board and partner to the CFO, independently driving financial ad\-hoc analyses, business cases and projects initiated by the CFO or Leadership Team.


• Take end\-to\-end ownership of internal projects of strategic importance to the company's financial and operational scaling.


• Prepare high\-quality financial materials and presentations for the Board and Leadership Team, with executive and Board exposure on a project\-by\-project basis.

Required

• 5\+ years of progressive experience in qualified finance roles, with strong exposure to accounting and analytics/business control – for example (Senior) Accountant, Financial Controller, Head of Accounting or Business Controller.


• Expert knowledge of modern accounting frameworks, internal controls and international tax/VAT.


• Proven experience with modern ERP systems, subscription management tools and driving process efficiency through automation or financial tech solutions.


• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex financial data and SaaS metrics into actionable insights for business stakeholders.


• Resilient and adaptable – you thrive in a dynamic, fast\-growing scale\-up environment where priorities can shift, and you view change as an opportunity.

• Documented experience from B2B SaaS, tech or subscription\-based businesses, with a deep understanding of SaaS business models and mechanics.


• Experience from entrepreneurial, high\-growth companies.


• Master's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting or similar.

• Month\-end close process optimized with a measurable reduction in time\-to\-close.


• Monthly Business Review reporting owned end to end and actively driving decisions in stakeholder meetings.


• Automation roadmap for invoicing, reconciliation and dunning defined and underway.

At Paligo, you'll be at the heart of a fast\-growing, global SaaS company where your work makes a real impact.

• Competitive base salary benchmarked to the Stockholm market.


• Flexible hybrid model from our Solna office.


• Direct access to the CFO and Leadership Team; your work shapes how the company scales, not just a reporting queue.


• The chance to grow with a company with real momentum, clear ambitions and a strategy that matters.

Paligo is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity of background, thought and experience.

(The final step of our recruitment process is a mandatory background check, including a financial and criminal check. Any offer of employment is contingent on its successful completion.)
