This isn't a back-office reporting seat. This is where you’ll have a seat at the table and the opportunity to have a real impact on a global business. You'll sit across multiple entities' full P&L, balance sheet, and cash position, effectively taking on the role of CFO and being in the room when Country General Managers are challenged on their numbers. If you want the analytical rigor of finance with actual ownership of outcomes (not just the deck), this is that seat.

Financial Reporting & Analysis

Own the full month-end close and reporting pack across multiple entities — balance sheet, P&L, and cashflow — on a hard deadline, every month

Lead flux analysis that doesn't just report the variance but explains why — the same rigor as a deal memo, applied to a live P&L

Build the MoM and actuals-vs-budget narrative that leadership actually uses to make calls

Navigate the technical complexity of bridging local GAAP with IFRS across markets

Own the cash position for your entities — real accountability for whether the business has the runway it needs

Be the connective tissue between Treasury, Group Reporting, and the SSC — driving the process, not just feeding it

Business Partnering

Sit directly opposite Country General Managers and regional FP&A to defend and dissect the numbers — this is stakeholder pressure, not just spreadsheet work

Drive the actuals-vs-budget conversation and lead the deep-dive when the variance is material

Advise Tax, Legal, Compliance, and Product on the accounting and tax mechanics behind new country and product launches — you're in the room before the launch happens, not cleaning up after

Evaluate potential M&A targets to expand our product depth and review our capital structure.

Statutory Audit & Tax Compliance

Lead statutory audits end-to-end for your entities — external auditors, corporate secretary, deadlines, all on you

Own compliance across direct and indirect taxes in partnership with tax advisors

AI Builder: Demonstrated use of AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to build agentic workflows, sharpen analysis, and move 3x faster at scale in a work or academic setting.

Bachelor's in Accountancy and/or Finance, or advanced degrees (Masters’ or PhD) in any analytical field

Typically 2-3 years Big 4 + 2-3 years commercial accounting, or 1-2 years’ experience in transaction advisory or high-pressure analytical backgrounds.

If you’re fresh out of school with an unusually steep learning agility and an interesting story, we’d also love to chat.

Agency - We take ownership and act, rather than waiting for permission. When something's blocking progress, we find a way through it and follow through until it's done.
Judgement - We aim for high-impact decisions, not just easy wins, and we put the bigger picture ahead of individual interests. That means moving quickly and confidently, while staying thoughtful about when a call really matters.
Learning Velocity - We pick up new skills fast and let go of old habits just as quickly when something better comes along. We benchmark ourselves against the best and keep raising our own bar.
Tenacity - We stay in it when things get hard, keeping a level head under pressure. We debate openly before deciding, then commit fully — and support each other along the way.
