• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations including GL, AR, AP, and payroll.
• Partner with external vendors and advisors for tax compliance, audit, statutory reporting, and treasury support.
• Serve as a key accounting advisor to the Head of Finance and collaborate cross-functionally with teams like Operations, Legal, Supply Chain, and Product.
• Lead and scale the accounting team and systems to support rapid international growth, including local entity setup, statutory reporting, and intercompany processes.
• Drive continuous improvements in financial systems, tools, and reporting capabilities.
• Manage risk by ensuring compliance with local and international financial regulations.

• Strong leadership with a hands-on, detail-oriented, and solutions-driven approach.
• Experience with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite), and ability to drive systems improvements.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to work cross-functionally and influence non-finance teams.
• Track record of scaling finance functions and leading teams through change.

What's Nice to Have

• Experience operating within a mature, high-performing finance organization with established processes and controls.
• Demonstrated success in building and scaling an accounting function from the ground up.
