Founded in 2016, ADEQUITA Capital is a young regulated financial advisory and venture building firm that brings together international expertise to deliver value-creating projects. Our services range from designing corporate finance solutions to partnering with small to medium-sized enterprises in strategic market segments across the globe.

We provide insight and execution support to our project partners (investors, companies and government entities) through a full range of investment banking and consulting services coupled with strong business relationships across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. Additionally, ADEQUITA advises and invests in small and medium-size companies to help them accelerate their growth strategy. We pride ourselves on our hands-on approach, stripped of bureaucratic complexity, allowing for streamlined processes. Our purpose is to shape long-term relationships with our clients through a tailored service.

At ADEQUITA, our entrepreneurial nature drives us to believe in the value of growing hand in hand with our investee companies, supporting them through the challenges of international expansion with our global access to key decision-makers, financial capital and sectorial expertise as drivers to deliver higher long-term returns for our clients and stakeholders.

ADEQUITA is facing a rapid expansion period supported by a robust deal pipeline that has prompted the company to open new positions.

Your Role

As the Head of Accounting & Admin you will:

• Be ADEQUITA’s and ADEQUITA’s investment vehicles’ lead accountant, responsible for the companies’ daily administration, accounting, and planning.
• Guarantee ADEQUITA’s and its vehicles’ compliance with accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations.
• Supervise the financial and controlling support of ADEQUITA’s portfolio companies to improve their efficiency.

As the link that binds administration to the senior management team, you will need to understand the entire ecosystem of companies and always have the bigger picture in mind to help them achieve their potential. We are looking for someone with a good command of accounting principles with the objective of helping to drive business execution and shape the future of our companies.

This is an on-site, part-time role.
