  Create detailed documentation for processes, data schemas, and fund flows to enable smooth operational handovers
• Build Reporting Solutions
  Partner with BI teams to design, test, and implement automated reporting solutions for new products

• Solve Data & System Challenges
  Act as the SME on transactional data, resolving complex accounting and system‑related issues
• Ensure Compliance & Controls
  Work with auditors and external stakeholders to embed strong controls and compliance into new processes

Requirements & Skills

• Experience
  • Minimum 5+ years of accounting experience
  • Proven involvement in finance projects, system implementations, or product launches
• Mindset
  • Strong individual contributor who enjoys hands‑on execution and ownership
  • Detail‑oriented with a problem‑solving approach

  • Ability to translate technical/product flows into accounting entries
• Stakeholder Management
  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to influence cross‑functional teams including Product, Data, and Engineering

  • Experience with financial systems (SAP S/4HANA strongly preferred)
  • Solid understanding of US GAAP and month‑end close processes
• Drive & Ownership
  • Proactive, self‑motivated, and comfortable in fast‑paced environments
• Language
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)
