Finance Manager / Accountant

Future Kitchens is the operating system for virtual food brands. We build delivery-first consumer brands like SmashClub® and KNOCKOUT®, and plug them into partner restaurants across Switzerland. 55+ partner locations. And we're just getting started.

We're operators, not a consultancy. We move fast, we keep it concrete, and we build systems that scale.

TasksYou own the numbers. All of them.

This is not a back-office bookkeeping job. You'll run the finance function of a fast-growing food company, and you'll build the automated accounting infrastructure that lets our restaurant partners run their virtual restaurant business without ever touching a spreadsheet. What you build becomes a core part of our partner product.

You report directly to the CEO and work closely with the Growth and Operations teams.

What you'll do

• Run the books.
• Full ownership of accounting for Future Kitchens AG: accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, month-end close, VAT filings, all under Swiss OR requirements.
• Prepare weekly partner payouts.
• Every week, 55+ partner restaurants get paid.
• You reconcile platform revenue (Just Eat, Uber Eats, Wolt), apply the commercial terms, and make sure every payout is correct and on time.
• Partners trust us with their revenue.
• You're the reason that trust holds.
• Prepare financial statements.
• Monthly, quarterly, and annual statements for management, the board, and investors.
• Clean, on time, decision-ready.
• Build financial dashboards.
• Real-time visibility on revenue, margins, payouts, and store-level performance.
• For management, for the board, and for partners.
• If it matters, it's on a dashboard, and it's current.
• Build the automated accounting practice for partners.
• This is the big one.
• You'll design and roll out a fully automated accounting service for our restaurant partners: payout reconciliation, revenue reporting, and clean books, delivered as a product, not a service desk.
• Manual work is a bug, not a feature.
• Run payroll.
• Monthly payroll for all internal staff: salaries, AHV/IV/EO, ALV, BVG, accident insurance, withholding tax, and annual salary certificates.
• Accurate, compliant, zero drama.

Requirements

What you bring

• Completed commercial or finance education (Fachausweis Finanz- und Rechnungswesen, ideally on the path to expert level, or equivalent)3+ years of hands-on accounting experience in Switzerland, ideally in a high-transaction-volume environment (gastronomy, retail, e-commerce, marketplaces)
• Solid command of Swiss accounting standards (OR), Swiss VAT, and Swiss payroll including social insurance
• Strong systems mindset: you automate before you delegate, and you'd rather build a workflow once than repeat a task weekly
• Confident with modern accounting software (Bexio, Abacus, or similar) and comfortable connecting tools via integrations and automation platforms
• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; experience with BI or dashboard tools is a strong plus
• Fluent German, professional English
• You're precise under deadline pressure.
• Weekly payouts don't wait.
• Nice to have
• Experience with delivery platform reporting and reconciliation (Just Eat, Uber Eats, Wolt)
• Experience building finance processes from scratch in a startup or scale-up
• Exposure to AI-assisted workflows and no-code automation (Make, Zapier, or similar)

Benefits

• Full ownership of the finance function at one of Switzerland's fastest-growing food tech companies
• A greenfield mandate: build the automated accounting product for 55+ (soon 100) partner restaurants
• Direct line to the CEO, real influence on how the company runs
• A team that ships, not a committee that meets
• Office in Zürich
