What you’ll build and lead - A group close that is fast, repeatable and calm, monthly, quarterly and annually, and that scales with the company. - Group consolidation, intercompany accounting and eliminations across a growing structure of entities and currencies. - Group financial statements under IFRS, and the reporting that the CFO, Executive Team, Board and investors rely on. - Statutory reporting across our global entity footprint, reconciled to group figures. - The processes, standards and documentation that do not exist yet, built in the right order. - Our GL team and our outsourced accounting partner, with clear standards and clear ownership. - A team where people learn, grow and speak up: you coach, delegate and set the example. - The main relationship with our external auditors on group matters. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Must haves: - Deep experience with complex group structures: consolidation across many legal entities, currencies and jurisdictions, with intercompany flows and a structure that changes through new entities, acquisitions or restructurings. - A track record of owning a group close and IFRS reporting end to end [and US GAAP, if needed], and of building or substantially improving it, not only running something mature. - Comfort starting from a blank page: you can see what is missing, decide what to do first and bring people along. - Leadership that coaches: you build trust, give clear direction and develop people. Coaching matters as much as technical depth. - Clear, confident communication with senior stakeholders, including the CFO, Board and investors. Nice to haves: - Experience in a scale-up or high-growth company. - Experience in complex, contract-driven industries, for example revenue recognised over time. - Experience with ERP and consolidation tools, and with close automation.
