• Manage audits, statutory compliance and intercompany processes

• Partner closely with the CFO on strategic initiatives and growth

Required Experience & Profile

• 8–12+ years in accounting / financial control

• Strong experience in multi-entity, international environments

• Background in SaaS, cloud, infrastructure or deep-tech companies

• NetSuite expert (+++)

• Mandatory hands-on experience implementing AI tools in accounting workflows

• Strong IFRS / GAAP knowledge and consolidation expertise

• Comfortable building finance infrastructure from the ground up

What We Offer
