Job Description

Responsibilities

Scale systems and processes: Design scalable workflows and implement the right tech stack as we expand internationally.
Own core finance operations: Lead AP, AR, banking, FX, reconciliations, global payroll, VAT, intercompany, filings, journals, expenses, etc. Build appropriate automations and hire an appropriate team to support with this.
Build robust financial foundations: Rework our chart of accounts; work cross-functionally to build clean definitions, methodologies and accounting policies (e.g. revenue recognition).
Lead financial reporting: Lead month and year end close for all entities and consolidated group; create insightful month end and board reporting packs.
Manage the audit: Design and implement an audit-ready finance function ahead of our first statutory audit (FY26 in 2027), including auditor selection and dry runs during 2026.
Be our accounting authority: The VP Finance is commercially and strategically focused rather than accounting-qualified so you will act as the company's accounting authority, owning accounting policies, technical judgement, and relationships with auditors and advisors.
Own treasury management: Design and administer treasury and cash management policies appropriate for a multi-entity, multi-currency group, maximising interest and reducing fees.
Improve financial visibility: Deliver timely, accurate, and actionable reporting for the CEO, SLT, and investors.
Ensure tax compliance: Own global tax compliance (with advisor support), including VAT, US sales tax and transfer pricing.
