Accountant and FinOps Manager

We are seeking a local FinOps Manager in Spain to lead our financial operations, cost governance, and local statutory accounting.

• Prepare and file local tax returns (VAT/IVA, Corporate Income Tax/IS, withholdings/IRPF) in compliance with the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT).
• Execute daily reconciliations between internal ledgers, bank accounts, custody wallets, and crypto payment rails to ensure strict client asset segregation.
• Assist the CFO in compiling financial data for CNMV regulatory returns, annual audit files, and internal management reporting.
• Process invoice approvals, vendor payments, expense reports, and intercompany settlements.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for external auditors during statutory and regulatory audit engagements.
• Implement financial forecasting, set automated budget thresholds, and perform root-cause analysis on cost spikes or operational anomalies in real time.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Must be a current legal and tax resident in Spain with the right to work.
• 4+ years of hands-on accounting experience in Spain, ideally within financial services, FinTech, e-commerce, or professional accounting services.
• Expert knowledge of Spanish Accounting Standards (Plan General Contable), local tax laws, and modern ERP tools (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Xero, or local software like Sage/Holded).
• Strong proficiency in Excel and data reconciliation, with familiarity or interest in digital asset/crypto transactions.
• Native/Bilingual Spanish and professional working proficiency in English.
• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent local qualification (Grado en Contabilidad y Finanzas).
