Finance Lead
Join one of Sweden’s fastest-growing education companies and own a modern, automation-first finance function. Be part of a high-impact mission helping thousands of students succeed ✨🚀
The opportunity
Imagine taking full ownership of a finance function built to be ahead of the curve — where 90%+ of day-to-day finance work is automated. Reporting, invoice handling, approvals, and even large parts of bookkeeping run through modern tooling: digital corporate cards, invoice digitization, OCR, automated approval flows, and tightly defined routines.
Your mission is to make sure all finance operations are correct, on time, and useful — and to keep improving how finance supports growth. You’ll run the Swedish setup end-to-end and also help build the same systematics and processes in France as we scale.
This role is perfect if you love both: building smarter systems and doing the fundamentals with pride. You’ll regularly get hands-on with reconciliations, VAT, and month-end close — because strong fundamentals are what make everything else work.
About Allakando
Allakando is one of Sweden’s largest education companies and the fastest growing company for tutoring, courses and digital educational tools. We are also proud of having the most satisfied families according to Trustpilot 💚
Our mission is to accelerate people's growth and our learning solution is a blend between in-person tutoring and online learning tools. One example of our educational tools is Sweden's first AI-teacher 🚀
Our product range also contains the largest nanny agency in the country - myNanny - and on top of that we are currently growing rapidly in France 🇫🇷
Your role
You’ll own the whole finance function and take end-to-end responsibility for ensuring a high-performing, highly automated finance department. You’ll work hands-on — but your real leverage is creating systems, structure, and control that scale.
Examples include:
Monthly & annual close: own month-end and year-end closing; ensure accuracy, speed, and clear documentation.
Budgeting & forecasting: update budgets and rolling forecasts; connect assumptions to reliable financial plans.
Reporting: ensure timely, accurate reporting; validate numbers and continuously improve the reporting.
Billing quality assurance: monitor invoicing accuracy, investigate issues, and build preventative mechanisms to reduce errors.
KPI performance tracking: follow up on key metrics, explain variances and propose actions.
Day-to-day accounting: hands-on reconciliations, VAT, employer contributions, and recurring compliance routines.
Process improvement: build routines, approval flows, and internal controls — with automation as the default.
External stakeholders: main point of contact with auditors, banks, Tax Agencies, and our accounting partner in France.
About you
We care more about your skills and mindset than a specific CV. We think you’ll do great here if you’re:
A roll-up-your-sleeves finance owner: you genuinely enjoy being close to the data and doing hands-on accounting work when needed.
Structured and reliable: you create clarity, hit deadlines, and ensure high quality in every number that leaves the finance function.
Automation-minded: you default to systems and workflows over manual work, and love improving how things run.
Detail-oriented with high standards: you catch inconsistencies, improve quality, and reduce errors over time.
Fluent in English: Swedish is a plus, but not required. (You’ll collaborate across Sweden and France.)
If you read this and think “great — I love clean books, tight processes, and continuous improvement”, you’ll fit right in.
About our culture
The atmosphere at the office is easy-going but focused. We think it's important to deliver value, as well as having fun while doing it. We try hard to keep things simple.
The office is situated on the entire second floor of Lund’s station building.

A fun, ambitious environment: great people, high pace, and a team that enjoys building together.
