Head of Accounting

Responsibilities

• Lead and own the full month‑end and year‑end close across our international entities—accurate, timely, and reliable every cycle.
• Manage, mentor, and develop our existing accounting team, setting standards and turning day‑to‑day execution into a smooth, dependable engine.
• Own the general ledger, reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and the preparation of accurate financial statements and management reports.
• Keep the books clean and consistent across our international entities and onboard new entities as we expand into new markets.
• Ensure compliance with local accounting standards and tax requirements, and act as the key point of contact for audits.
• Identify bottlenecks, streamline and automate accounting workflows within our existing ERP, keeping processes lean and scalable.
• Work hand‑in‑hand with the CFO and leadership, providing the accurate numbers and insight that drive confident decision‑making.

Requirements

• 3–5 years in a senior accounting role, ideally within a fast‑paced scale‑up or international setting.
• Hands‑on ownership: Own the numbers end‑to‑end, equally comfortable in the detail and accountable for the outcome.
• Strong command of accounting principles and the full month‑end and year‑end close.
• Experience across more than one country or legal entity and able to pick up unfamiliar local frameworks quickly.
• You’ve set up or onboarded accounting for a new entity or market before, or you’re clearly ready to.
• A degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Hands‑on experience with IFRS and multi‑entity consolidation is a strong plus; an ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent qualification is a bonus, not a requirement.
• Fluency in English is a must.
