You will be part of SumUp's Brazil Controlling team, sitting at the intersection of regulatory compliance, financial reporting, and strategic operations in one of the most complex and exciting fintech environments in Latin America. Operating within a regulated multi-entity structure, including SumUp IP and SumUp SCD, both supervised by the Brazilian Central Bank, our Controlling team ensures the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of financial information across all Brazilian legal entities.
This is a unique opportunity to join a lean, high-impact team at a critical inflection point. SumUp Brazil is actively pursuing a new financial license (SCFI — Sociedade de Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento), which will significantly expand the complexity and strategic importance of our local financial operations. You will contribute directly to the team's mission of building a more robust, scalable, and process-driven Controlling function, and your work will be visible at the highest levels of our global Finance organisation.
Reporting to the Entity Controller for Brazil, you will work closely with our Controlling Specialist, and engage regularly with our Global Accounting Operations, Tax, FP&A, Treasury and other teams across Brazil and Europe.
What You'll Do
- Own and execute monthly Balance Sheet reconciliations and account substantiation packages for assigned Brazilian entities, ensuring accuracy and audit readiness at every close cycle
- Execute Month-End Close (MEC) reviews across key areas including Fixed Assets, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Deferred Expenses, Deposits, LTN/LFT, Payments Transactions (TPV), Revenue Recognition, Prepayments, among others.
- Support the preparation and data gathering for Brazilian regulatory filings (ECD) in coordination with the Tax team
- Reconcile intercompany balances with the Global Accounting Operations team and support CADOC regulatory reporting
- Attend external auditors and contribute to the preparation of the Financial Statements and Automations project, helping build a more efficient and scalable preparation process for the financial statements of all Brazilian entities
- Engage with multiple international stakeholders in English, supporting cross-functional requests from FP&A, Treasury, Global Process Owners, and external auditors
You'll Be Great for This Role If…
- You have 4 to 6 years of experience in Controlling, Accounting, and/or Audit (Big4) in a structured finance environment, ideally within a regulated institution (bank, payment institution, or fintech);
- You have solid, hands-on knowledge of Brazilian GAAP (BR GAAP) and IFRS fundamentals, with direct experience in month-end close and Balance Sheet reconciliations;
- You are familiar with Brazilian regulatory reporting requirements, and ideally have exposure to BCB/COSIF environments and CADOC reporting;
- You are proficient in SAP or an equivalent ERP, and have advanced GSheets/Excel skills;
- You are a proactive and reliable communicator, comfortable working with cross-functional and international teams in both Portuguese and English;
- You have a strong ownership mindset, you take your deliverables end-to-end, identify root causes, and propose solutions rather than just escalating problems;
- Experience with automation tools like Python, Zapier, Make.com and Langdock is a plus;
- Curiosity about AI tools to accelerate work and process improvements is highly valued;
- Experience with Financial Products like CDB, Derivatives, and Credit Card from an SCFI Company is a plus.
