Accountant (Poland) — Group Financial Reporting & Compliance

Paybis is a global fintech operating at the intersection of crypto and traditional payments. Founded in 2014 and self-funded from day one, we're headquartered in Riga, Latvia, with a team of around 200 people distributed across Europe, Ukraine, and the US. We serve roughly 8.5 million users in more than 180 countries and have processed over $5.5 billion in lifetime transaction volume.

We're hiring our first dedicated in-house Accountant for Paybis Poland — a high-impact, high-visibility role at a pivotal moment for the entity. Poland has historically relied on an outsourced accounting provider, and we're now bringing that function in-house while simultaneously preparing for an external statutory audit and managing the accounting wind-down of our Polish VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) activity, which ceased on 1 July 2026.

You'll be the person who owns the general ledger for Poland end to end: validating and remediating historical records, closing out 2024, 2025, and H1 2026, designing the cost-allocation and intercompany framework for the VASP wind-down, and building a monthly close process that runs independently going forward. This is a builder's role — you'll be creating structure, controls, and documentation largely from scratch, working closely with our Director of Finance, Treasury, Legal, Compliance, and Tax teams.

Financial & statutory accounting

• Own the monthly close, including remediation of the 2024 FY, 2025 FY, and H1 2026 historical periods
• Prepare statutory financial statements (P&L / RZiS, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Maintain and reconcile the general ledger, including bank and subledger reconciliations
• Perform multi-currency revaluation (PLN, EUR, GBP, USD) and multi-entity consolidation adjustments, including intercompany eliminations

Polish regulatory & tax reporting

• File monthly VAT returns (JPK-V7) via KSeF
• Prepare the annual CIT return, including transfer pricing documentation
• Coordinate directly with Polish tax and regulatory authorities (GUS, PFSA) and with external auditors

VASP wind-down & intercompany accounting

• Split and account for the VASP-active period (Jan–Jun 2026) versus the wind-down period (Jul–Dec 2026)
• Identify VASP-attributable costs and design a defensible cost-allocation methodology
• Establish an intercompany invoicing protocol and supporting transfer pricing documentation for the group

Finance operations & controls

• Manage AP/AR processing, expense reconciliation, and fixed asset/depreciation schedules
• Design internal controls: approval hierarchies, segregation of duties, and documentation standards
• Lead the knowledge transfer and data validation process from our outgoing outsourcing provider

• Days 1–30: Review all outsourced records, identify gaps and errors, and build a remediation and audit-readiness plan
• Days 30–60: Close 2024 FY, 2025 FY, and H1 2026 (including VASP wind-down accounting), with supporting consolidation adjustments
• Days 60–90: Finalize audit-ready documentation and establish a repeatable monthly close process and GL control framework

Must have

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
• 4–6 years of accounting experience, including at least 2 years of in-house general ledger ownership (not purely outsourced or tax-prep work)
• Fluent Polish (written and spoken) — essential for GL coding, tax authority communication, and audit coordination
• Fluent English - at least B2
• Strong working knowledge of Polish accounting law (Ustawa o Rachunkowości) and hands-on experience with JPK-V7/VAT compliance and CIT filing, including transfer pricing documentation
• Direct experience validating or remediating outsourced accounting records as part of an in-house transition
• Experience designing or executing intercompany cost allocation methodologies
• Working knowledge of IFRS (or Polish statutory accounting with IFRS exposure) and multi-currency accounting (FX revaluation, gains/losses)
• Fintech, crypto, or other regulated-finance background — including familiarity with digital asset accounting concepts or licensing frameworks such as VASP, CASP, PI, or EMI
• Hands-on experience with an accounting/ERP system (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Exact Online, or similar)
• Strong reconciliation discipline and comfort working independently on ambiguous, investigative problems

Nice to have

• Polish professional qualification (Biegły Rewident preferred; ACCA or CPA with Polish accounting experience also considered)
• Prior involvement in a statutory audit process from the preparer's side
• Experience with KSeF integration at the systems level
• Multi-entity consolidation

You take ownership of the numbers you're responsible for, you're comfortable building process and structure where none exists yet, and you stay calm under regulatory deadline pressure. You collaborate naturally across Compliance, Legal, Tax, and Treasury, and you investigate discrepancies proactively rather than waiting to be told where to look.

• Competitive salary, performance-based bonus
• A high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting directly into the Director of Finance
• The opportunity to build the Polish accounting function — process, controls, and policy — from the ground up
• Exposure to group-level consolidation, multi-currency accounting, and fintech/crypto-specific accounting challenges
• A self-funded, stable company with no investor-driven pressure and over a decade of track record
• Medical insurance, L&D budget, English classes, regular team-building activities
