And that is something to be excited about!

Your role and responsibilities

Reporting to the VP Finance, this position requires a real self‑starter who thrives on collaboration excellence and initiative.

  • Ensure accurate and timely recording of all financial transactions.
  • Manage month‑end closing, including journal entries, reconciliations, cost allocations, FX translation from home currency to reporting currency, financial statement generation and investor reporting.
  • Ensure that Finance’s accounting policies are compliant with relevant standards.

Budgeting and Forecasting

  • Support with the development and monitoring of the company’s annual budget.
  • Undertake the necessary inquiries and document drivers for budget‑vs‑actual variances.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information to non‑financial stakeholders and collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.
  • An eye for detail – ‘cause that’s what accountants need to be good at!
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, financial modeling, and data analysis.
  • Proficient in accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar systems).
  • Versatile (and keen) – able to jump into whatever needs to be done.
  • Preferred qualifications and experience

  • Hands‑on experience in a flexible, agile (i.e., start‑up) environment.
  • Proficient in accounting software (NetSuite, or similar systems).
