TAX / VAT Controller

Are you ready to shape the future of corporate tax and VAT at a leading Nordic fintech? We're on the lookout for a proactive and curious Tax/VAT Controller with responsibilities for Tax, VAT and transfer pricing who is excited to make an impact!

At Lunar we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm 🚀

So who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both, breaking free from the usual categories. Here, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change.

As we continue our journey to becoming the best and smartest everyday bank in the Nordics, we are looking for a Tax/VAT Manager to take ownership of all corporate Tax and VAT matters, ensuring compliance and strategic financial decision-making.

As our new Tax/VAT controller, you will be located in Copenhagen and be part of our Accounting & Controlling team, reporting to Head of Accounting & Controlling. The team currently comprises talented individuals working in Copenhagen and Aarhus who are focused on ensuring compliance and financial clarity within the broader Finance function.

What will you do?

• Take ownership of all corporate Tax and VAT matters, serving as the main point of contact.

• Assess and qualify tax and VAT issues, in collaborating with external advisors when necessary.

• Ensure compliance with Danish tax authorities and navigate regulations across the Nordic markets (SE, DK, NO).

• Gather and analyze information from our accounting systems, proactively managing tax-related processes.

• Collaborate with key stakeholders in Finance, Legal, and Accounting to drive smarter decision-making around tax and VAT.

• Preparing yearly tax returns for all group entities

• Assisting the accounting team with periodical VAT returns
