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 were just getting started.

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

You own the numbers. All of them.

This is not a back-office bookkeeping job. Youll run the finance function of a fast-growing food company and youll 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 youll 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. Youre the reason that trust holds.
