Following significant investment in its finance, treasury, controls, and reporting infrastructure, the business is now entering its next phase of growth, with a focus on optimization, testing, regulatory readiness, and operational scalability.

This is not a traditional accounting role. We're looking for a hands‑on finance professional who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and operating in an environment where priorities evolve and collaboration is critical. You'll work closely with Finance, Treasury, Operations, Risk, Compliance, and senior leadership to help strengthen and enhance a scalable control and reporting framework.

The successful candidate will gain broad exposure across financial reporting, controls, treasury support, systems enhancements, regulatory initiatives, and process improvement projects, while helping shape the future of a growing finance function.

Key Responsibilities

• Support month‑end, quarter‑end, and year‑end close activities, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial information.
• Prepare management reporting, financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations, and supporting financial analysis.
• Maintain and enhance financial controls, governance processes, and accounting policies in accordance with US GAAP.
• Partner with Treasury and other key stakeholders to support reporting, controls, and operational effectiveness.
• Assist with regulatory readiness activities, audit support, statutory reporting, and ongoing control framework enhancements.
• Contribute to finance systems initiatives, reporting infrastructure improvements, data projects, and automation efforts.

• Work across multiple teams and stakeholders within a matrix environment to drive outcomes and deliver projects.
• Support the continued development and scaling of the finance and treasury function as the organization grows.

Skills & Experience Required

• 5-10 years of experience in accounting, financial controls, controllership, product control, or financial reporting.
• CPA or equivalent accounting qualification preferred.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP, financial reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, and internal controls.
• Experience supporting month‑end close, financial statement preparation, audits, and reporting activities.
• Background within financial services, banking, fintech, payments, asset management, hedge funds, broker-dealers, or other regulated environments preferred.
• Experience partnering with Treasury, cash management, or related finance functions is advantageous.
• Exposure to finance transformation initiatives, systems implementations, reporting infrastructure projects, or process automation programs.
• Experience with Temenos or other core banking platforms is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, evolving environment with changing priorities and ambiguity.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge, influence, and collaborate across teams.
• Naturally curious, solutions‑oriented, and comfortable taking ownership beyond defined responsibilities.
• Proven track record of improving processes, solving problems, and driving continuous improvement.
• Strong Excel, analytical, and problem‑solving capabilities.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong accounting fundamentals with a builder's mindset. You'll have the opportunity to work in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where ideas are valued, processes continue to evolve, and individuals have the ability to make a visible impact on the business.
