• 4-6+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or as a Controller.

• Strong understanding of US accounting principles (US GAAP) and experience working with US-based clients.

• Practical experience or strong proficiency in using Generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot for Finance) to write financial summaries, build macros, or write complex Excel formulas/scripts.

• Hands-on experience with cloud accounting platforms such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, or NetSuite, along with their native AI or automation integrations.

• Advanced English proficiency (C1) with excellent executive communication and presentation skills.

• High degree of integrity, autonomy, and a drive to modernize traditional financial workflows.
