Main Responsibilities

As we continue to grow, we are transitioning our accounting function from being primarily managed by external accountants to establishing an in-house setup. We are looking for a motivated individual to drive and manage this transition independently while building a robust internal accounting function.

You will report directly to the COO and work closely with stakeholders across the company. The ideal candidate will have a strong accounting background, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic work environment with flexibility and adaptability.

Lead the transition from external to in-house accounting.
Build and manage the in-house accounting function.
Own the month-end and year-end reporting and closing processes.
Develop and implement scalable accounting processes to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.
Select and manage the accounting software that will best serve the company’s needs going forward.
Set up a consolidation process for the company's three entities.
Manage relationships with tax advisors and external accountants to address local GAAP-specific requirements.
Set up and manage the audit process, including relationships with auditors.
Handle day-to-day accounting operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoice creation, and treasury management.
Oversee treasury needs across multiple entities, including accounts payable, wire transfers, and payments.
Assist with the preparation of yearly budgets and quarterly forecasts.
Provide support on transfer pricing matters.

Requirements

Certified accountant with 5+ years experience in financial and/or startup environments.
Strong knowledge of IFRS and local GAAP.
Proficiency in accounting software and Excel.
Experience with multi-entity accounting.
Excellent organizational and communication skills.
Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
