Group Chief Accountant

Following the successful close of Series A and continued growth across the business, Fossefall is entering a new phase of institutionalisation. As the company prepares for future capital raising, project financing and asset growth, requirements for financial reporting, governance, audit readiness and group-wide controls are increasing significantly.

Fossefall has scaled rapidly and now includes operating companies, project SPVs, GPU infrastructure entities and international holding structures across multiple jurisdictions. To support this growth and ensure institutional-grade reporting across the platform, we are strengthening our finance organisation and building capabilities that match the expectations of lenders, auditors and global institutional investors.

Fossefall now needs a highly experienced and hands-on Group Chief Accountant for a newly established role to build the institutional-grade group accounting infrastructure from the ground up - consolidation, IFRS compliance, and statutory alignment across jurisdictions - required to meet the standards of incoming institutional investors and support the company's long-term growth trajectory.

The Group Chief Accountant will be responsible for Fossefall's consolidated IFRS reporting and to ensure statutory financial statements across all group entities reconcile cleanly to the group accounts. The role is accountable for group accounting policy, auditor liaison, and building and maintaining the reporting infrastructure to match the demands of the company's future investor base. The role reports directly to the Group CFO.

Personal skills

We are looking for a highly experienced and technically sound candidate who enjoys building and improving processes and structure where none yet exists.

We offer

For the right candidate Fossefall can offer a rare opportunity to build institutional-grade reporting from the ground up, help shape the finance function during a period of rapid growth, and work closely with executive management as the company prepares for its next stage.
