About the role
Northstone is a technology-first accounting company serving Danish small and medium-sized businesses. We run the monthly close as a system: AI handles intake, task generation, quality checks and reporting, and trained people review, decide and sign off. Every client is served by a small team, so service never depends on any one person.We are building a Cairo-based production team that works alongside our AI tooling to keep clients' books clean, compliant and closed on time, every month. This is the first senior hire into that team.The roleYou own the monthly bookkeeping production for a portfolio of Danish SME clients. You work from AI-generated task lists and documented playbooks, and a Danish senior on your team handles everything client-facing and authority-facing (final approval, filing, sign-off).
