Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Finance Director based in Brazil.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity to build and scale a modern, technology-enabled finance and accounting practice serving multiple clients. You will initially take direct ownership of bookkeeping, accounting, and financial planning and analysis (FP&A), while helping design the processes and controls needed for sustainable growth. Working alongside an operations engineer, you will introduce automation and AI-powered workflows to streamline routine finance activities without compromising accuracy or auditability. You will turn financial and operational data into forecasts, KPI dashboards, and actionable management insights. As the practice expands, you will guide junior accounting staff and AI agents, shifting more of your focus toward review, planning, and client decision support. This fully remote role offers the opportunity to shape a growing finance function and influence its technology, operating model, and future direction.

Accountabilities

• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting activities across multiple clients, including reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll coordination, and month-end close.

• Establish clear finance workflows, review procedures, internal controls, and approval processes to ensure accuracy and consistency.

• Use QuickBooks as the primary accounting system to manage and oversee client financial records.

• Connect revenue, cost, and operational data to develop KPI dashboards, financial forecasts, and management reporting.

• Prepare weekly 13-week or 26-week cash flow forecasts for each client, using automated data where possible while reviewing inputs, assumptions, and exceptions.

• Build rolling 12- to 24- month forecasts and management reports that connect accounting results with operational performance indicators.

• Establish structured accounts payable and receivable processes, including clear ownership, approval steps, payment calendars, and escalation procedures.

• Collaborate with the business operations engineer to map, automate, and test finance workflows while maintaining appropriate controls and audit trails.

• Review work completed by junior accounting staff and AI agents, ensuring the quality and reliability of financial outputs.

• Design a scalable operating model that can support an initial client portfolio and expand to approximately three or four clients.

• Participate in client calls, explain financial results, and provide clear insights to support business decisions.

• Take on increasing responsibility for client relationships as the finance practice grows and client trust develops.

• Contribute to the development of the finance practice's tools, processes, team structure, and service delivery model.

Requirements:

• Experience managing an accounting department, finance team, or broader finance function, combined with the ability to perform hands‑on accounting work.

• Strong FP&A expertise, including cash flow forecasting, rolling forecasts, budgeting, variance analysis, and management reporting.

• Significant practical experience using QuickBooks.

• Familiarity with accounting fundamentals, including reconciliations, month‑end close, financial controls, and review procedures.

• Ability to assess and review work completed by other team members and automated systems, ensuring financial accuracy and accountability.

• Experience designing finance processes and building structured workflows, including in environments where systems and procedures are still being developed.

• Demonstrated initiative in using an AI coding or cowork tool, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cowork, to build a personal tool, workflow, or prototype. Advanced AI expertise is not required; curiosity and willingness to experiment are valued.

• Ability to work effectively with incomplete information, establish practical processes, and adapt them to different client needs.

• Strong written English and conversational spoken English, with the ability to participate confidently in Zoom meetings and client calls.

• Nice to have: Experience with NetSuite or Sage in addition to QuickBooks.

• Applicants must reside in Latin America and be available to work full‑time in alignment with PST/CST working hours.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation paid in USD.

• 100% remote working arrangement for candidates based in Latin America.

• Full-time contractor engagement.

• Opportunity to build a finance and accounting practice from the ground up.

• Direct collaboration with experienced business leadership and an operations engineer.

• Exposure to AI agents, automation, and modern finance technology.

• Opportunity to shape finance tools, workflows, controls, and team structure.

• Potential to grow into portfolio-level finance leadership, reporting, and planning as the practice expands.
