Your mission: Help propel an increasingly complex business toward remarkable financial growth.

Already a top European tech company, Bending Spoons is growing rapidly and globally, with sales in over 100 countries, international subsidiaries, and large-scale M&A initiatives. As a finance associate, you’ll be proactive, pragmatic, and pivotal in all essential activities within our increasingly complex financial, accounting, and compliance operations.

A few examples of your responsibilities

  • Provide regular financial analysis to support well-informed business decisions, including the creation of financial models, trend analysis, and ad-hoc fiscal forecasts.
  • Stay current with tax and accounting regulations to ensure compliance and resource optimization.
  • Collaborate with external experts for financial statement preparation, due diligence, and exploring fiscal incentives.
  • Implement and manage efficient models for our accounting policies to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
  • Interpret contracts and review agreements in collaboration with our Legal team to safeguard our financial interests.
  • Contribute to the planning of funding rounds by offering critical financial insights and analysis.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for cost savings through regular expenditure reviews and the identification of cost optimization strategies and efficiency improvements.

What we look for

  • Drive. Your dedication matches the intensity of your ambition. You’re willing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve your goals, and the highly demanding challenges in your track record are proof of your relentless spirit.
  • Logical-analytical abilities. You’re able to objectively evaluate complex information, arguments, and situations. You’re used to applying logical deduction to tackle sophisticated problems, and this has often allowed you to solve difficult intellectual challenges.
  • Passion. You have a genuine love for the field. You investigate the subject extensively and are always up to date with the latest developments.
  • Curiosity and initiative. Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you’re forever hunting down new opportunities and testing fresh ideas. You’ve consistently and actively participated in independent projects, and you’re an endless source of innovative ideas.
  • Indisputable excellence. Your academic or professional career is marked by a series of remarkable accomplishments. You have habitually achieved superior outcomes in your chosen fields and are continually seeking ways to outperform the expectations set for you.
  • Fluent English and Italian. You can read and write fluently both in English and in Italian.

What we offer

  • An exceptional opportunity for growth. The majority of new Spooners didn’t expect to be trusted with so many responsibilities right from the start—and to be able to leverage them to explore the full extent of their potential. You’ll immediately start working in small, results-driven teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field. You’ll see Spooners in their 20s leading businesses worth hundreds of millions. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects. We also do everything we can to offer a comprehensive spectrum of learning opportunities. Nothing but your drive, passion, and talent will determine how much and how fast you can grow.
  • Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typically, we offer an individual at the start of their career a salary of £54,545 in the UK and €52,246 elsewhere. If they possess a few years of relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £66,779 and £149,636 in the UK, and €63,965 and €143,330 elsewhere. Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience and translate it into greater impact. You can also receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, thus participating in the value creation we achieve together. If relocating to Italy, you may enjoy a 50% tax cut.
  • All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, unrestricted remote working from European timezones, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a highly supportive relocation package, generous parental support, and yearly retreats to stunning locations. We encourage Spooners to use these benefits and many more to create the conditions to do their best work.
