The Opportunity This isn't a back-office reporting seat. This is where you’ll have a seat at the table and the opportunity to have a real impact on a global business. You'll sit across multiple entities' full P&L, balance sheet, and cash position, effectively taking on the role of CFO and being in the room when Country General Managers are challenged on their numbers. If you want the analytical rigor of finance with actual ownership of outcomes (not just the deck), this is that seat.
What You’ll Own Financial Reporting & Analysis
Own the full month-end close and reporting pack across multiple entities — balance sheet, P&L, and cashflow — on a hard deadline, every month
Lead flux analysis that doesn't just report the variance but explains why — the same rigor as a deal memo, applied to a live P&L
Build the MoM and actuals-vs-budget narrative that leadership actually uses to make calls
Navigate the technical complexity of bridging local GAAP with IFRS across markets
Own the cash position for your entities — real accountability for whether the business has the runway it needs
Be the connective tissue between Treasury, Group Reporting, and the SSC — driving the process, not just feeding it
Business Partnering
Sit directly opposite Country General Managers and regional FP&A to defend and dissect the numbers — this is stakeholder pressure, not just spreadsheet work
Drive the actuals-vs-budget conversation and lead the deep-dive when the variance is material
Advise Tax, Legal, Compliance, and Product on the accounting and tax mechanics behind new country and product launches — you're in the room before the launch happens, not cleaning up after
Evaluate potential M&A targets to expand our product depth and review our capital structure.
Statutory Audit & Tax Compliance
Lead statutory audits end-to-end for your entities — external auditors, corporate secretary, deadlines, all on you
Own compliance across direct and indirect taxes in partnership with tax advisors
