Posted on Oct 9, 2025
Are you a finance professional who thrives on building financial models that leadership can trust and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves on day-to-day finance? Upright is a rapidly growing impact data company on a mission to make it financially more attractive to run a net positive company than a net negative one. Since 2017, we’ve been committed to delivering science-backed, credible data on companies’ real-world impacts to help businesses, investors, and customers make better decisions.
We’re now seeking a hands-on finance professional with exceptional financial modelling skills - someone who can build robust financial models that drive real decisions. This is not a “support” role: we are looking for someone who can independently build, own, and iterate financial models that leadership can trust without hand-holding.
This role combines operational finance responsibilities (e.g., invoicing, receipt handling, reporting) with high-impact modelling and analysis. You’ll work closely with leadership to provide the financial backbone for strategic decisions, while also ensuring that day-to-day finance operations run smoothly.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Building and maintaining high-quality financial models to support decision-making across the organization, from forecasting and scenario planning to strategic growth analysis. The models you build are reliable, transparent, and actionable.
- Taking ownership of key operational finance processes, including invoicing, accounts receivable/payable, and financial reporting.
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning efforts in collaboration with leadership.
- Producing clear and actionable financial insights for internal stakeholders and board reporting.
- Working with external bookkeeping partners to ensure smooth financial operations and compliance.
SIGNS OF BEING A GREAT MATCH FOR THIS ROLE INCLUDE:
- Have strong, proven financial modelling skills - you can build reliable models from scratch without hand-holding.
- Bring experience in operational finance tasks (e.g. invoicing, accounting coordination, reporting).
- Work independently and proactively in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.
- Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
- Possess strong analytical and organizational skills, able to manage multiple priorities efficiently.
- Have a track record of excellence - consistently delivering beyond expectations.
- Show a sense of urgency, ownership, and drive to get things done.
- Communicate clearly and effectively in Finnish and English, both spoken and written.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- A chance to join a quickly growing and highly ambitious impact SaaS company with a mission that matters
- A fun and kind team with exceptional people who care about what they do
- Exciting professional growth opportunities
- Competitive compensation and a comprehensive healthcare package
Location: Helsinki, Finland.
Deadline: Candidates will be reviewed on a continuous basis, and the role will be filled as soon as the right person is found.
