Financial Controller
Own the numbers behind a high growth AI company. Drive accuracy, scale, and investor trust at the core of Upsales.
Upsales is an entrepreneur-led, publicly listed SaaS company with 20 years of profitable growth. We help companies sell smarter, grow faster, and operate with clarity in a world powered by data and AI. From our roots in Stockholm, our journey has been defined by ambition, craftsmanship, and category-defining technology.
As Financial Controller, you sit at the financial core of Upsales. Not just keeping the books in order, but building trust, structure, and scalability as we grow. You combine operational excellence with a forward-looking mindset, supporting everything from daily accounting to investor communication and long-term process development. This is a role for someone who wants ownership, impact, and the opportunity to modernize finance in an AI-first company.
AI-First Mindset
At Upsales, AI isn’t an add-on. It’s how we operate. We’re looking for someone who actively uses tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar AI copilots as part of their daily workflow.
You treat AI as a force multiplier: accelerating troubleshooting, improving root-cause analysis, crafting clearer customer communication, and identifying smarter ways for customers to solve their problems. You’re curious, experimental, and motivated to push the boundaries of what modern, AI-driven support can be.
