Role overview
Sumary is a Copenhagen-based fintech startup building an AI-native accounting and financial operations platform for European SMBs, bookkeepers, and finance teams. Its software plugs into existing accounting ledgers and systems to automate core workflows such as bookkeeping, reconciliations, VAT filings, transaction handling, anomaly detection, and error checks, while also providing real-time, explainable insights and answers to finance questions from transaction data. The company positions itself as an AI layer on top of current ledgers that can expand into a broader financial operating system.
What you will do
- Lead end-to-end implementation and onboarding for major accounting firms, connecting ledgers and configuring AI agents to automate complex financial workflows.
- Conduct rigorous pilots that prove the business case, working directly with CFOs and controllers to replace manual processes with autonomous systems.
- Act as the primary feedback loop for the engineering team, identifying product gaps in the field and driving features that redefine industry standards.
Who this is a fit for
- Qualified (or near-qualified) accountant with training at a Big Four or top-tier firm in audit, outsourcing, or advisory services.
- Strong communicator capable of navigating complex stakeholders, from skeptical bookkeepers to firm partners, while managing technical implementations.
- Process-driven professional with a natural inclination for automation and the ability to master technical tools quickly without being a software engineer.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join at the ground floor of an AI-native fintech backed by world-class investors like byFounders and Partech after Denmark’s largest-ever pre-seed round.
- Work alongside a high-caliber team of founders and engineers from McKinsey, Uber, and Pleo to solve the multi-billion dollar problem of manual accounting.
- High-impact role where you shape the product roadmap and define the future of autonomous finance for the largest accounting firms in Europe.
