Full Job Description
ABOUT BITSTACK It all started with an idea in 2021. Initially built to democratize Bitcoin in France, Bitstack has gone from a simple product that invests spare change in bitcoin, to a crypto-native bank bringing a better way to save, spend, and grow money to our 300K+ users. We want to rebuild finance from the ground up to empower people to achieve financial freedom by participating in a more open and inclusive financial system. We’re a small, ambitious team of operators. We believe in moving fast, sweating the details, and creating products people truly love. At Bitstack, you’ll have the opportunity to shape not just our products, but the culture and practices of our entire organization. Bitstack is backed by YC, leading VCs like 13books Capital, Stillmark, Serena, and many more. We are building a product our users love and we are just getting started! THE ROLE Bitstack is hiring a Financial Controller to join its finance team at a defining moment for the company. Bitstack is moving from a single-product offering to a multi-product platform, expanding its commercial footprint across European markets through the French entity, and enhancing the regulatory licences that underpin the business. The finance function sits at the centre of that evolution. The Financial Controller will be central to preparing the company for its first external audit (on 2026 numbers, conducted in 2027) and for the Series B raise (late 2026 / Q1 2027). The role will own French statutory accounting, lead the relationships with the company's external accounting firm and tax advisor, design and implement revenue recognition for the new subscription and card interchange streams, and build the accounting, controls, and tax foundations on which the next stage of growth will be built. This is a hands-on, autonomous role with direct exposure to the Chief Financial Officer, the leadership team, and the co-founders. The successful candidate will make and own consequential decisions from the outset.
