Senior Financial Controller

At Diakrit, we create digital marketing tools that help people around the world imagine their future home. With operations across 7 countries and more than 8,000 real estate clients, our work powers a better property experience.

Founded in Sweden, Diakrit brings a unique blend of Swedish company culture and international collaboration.

We’re now hiring a Senior Financial Controller to take ownership of our finance operations globally.

Are you a finance leader who thrives on bringing structure, compliance, and insight to complex environments? Are you passionate about automating manual processes and building systems that scale? Do you roll up your sleeves to solve root issues rather than just identifying them? If that sounds like you - we want you to lead our global finance team.

In this role, you’ll work across all areas of the business to sharpen your commercial acumen while embedding best-practice compliance, systems, and training across a remote team of internal accountants and outsourced partners.

What You Will Be Doing

As Senior Financial Controller, you will take full ownership of our global accounting, treasury, and finance operations. Your mandate is twofold: ensure financial accuracy, timeliness, and compliance across the group, and build a high-performing finance function through continuous improvement and team development.

Your mission is to lead and elevate global finance operations across all entities by driving timely month-end closes, robust treasury and cash management, rigorous internal controls, and seamless audit execution. You will act as the primary financial authority and systems owner, leading high-performing in-house teams and outsource partners while ensuring compliance, liquidity, and risk governance across the group.

You will dive into the details, resolve root causes of issues, and implement sustainable solutions. Your strong analytical and communication skills will enable you to work effectively across functions and geographies, fostering alignment and clarity.
