[Hiring] Finance Analyst @BRIDGE IN Careers

Role Description

This role exists because we run finance for three countries and a growing client base with a small team, and we want someone who will grow into real ownership of it.

• Supporting the monthly and quarterly close, then building the reporting packs that show how Portugal, Spain, and Italy are actually performing;
• Owning recurring reporting over time, including KPI dashboards, cash position, and revenue by market;
• Working on the forecast and the annual budget: helping build them, then tracking actuals against plan and explaining the variances;
• Digging into financial data to spot trends, margin leaks, and anomalies, then bringing them to management in plain language;
• Working alongside our accounting team to keep us compliant with local financial regulations and with our own internal policies;
• Preparing documentation and reports for audits, due diligence, and client-facing financial requests, with guidance at first and increasing autonomy over time.

Qualifications

• You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Management, or a related field;
• Based in Portugal, under 35 years of age, and eligible for the +Talento IEFP program;
• You are fluent in Portuguese and English, written and spoken, and can explain a number to someone who is not a finance person;
• You are genuinely comfortable in Google Sheets: lookups, pivots, clean model structure, and formulas someone else can follow up;
• You are rigorous. You tie things out, you check twice, and you would rather flag a discrepancy early than have it surface in a client meeting;
• You do not need someone to follow up with you twice. You manage your own workload;
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and can make reasonable judgment calls;
• You see AI and automation as tools that make your work sharper and faster, not as threats;
• Bonus points for international experience, personal or professional, and for any familiarity with Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian financial and tax rules.

Benefits

• We are not hiring for a temporary slot. This internship is structured to convert into a full-time contract for the right person, and that is the plan from day one.
• Compensation structured around the +Talento IEFP grant, adjusted upward based on experience and profile;
• Variable bonus aligned with business results;
• Fully remote setup with flexibility on hours, built around outcomes not attendance;
• Direct exposure to multi-country finance, accounting, and startup operations from your first week;
• A merit-based environment where your track record speaks louder than your title or tenure;
• Colleagues who will challenge you, and a client base that will stretch your thinking.

Company Description

We are a bootstrapped, profitable, remote-first company on a mission to make international bureaucracy disappear. We simplify payroll, accounting, legal, and compliance operations for foreign companies expanding into Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Our clients range from high-growth startups to publicly listed companies and unicorns. We are one of the fastest-growing startups in Southern Europe, and we are still accelerating.
