  • Identify and resolve discrepancies, improving accounting workflows where necessary.
  • Ensure timely reporting of cash flow, P&L, and balance sheet.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities as needed.
  • Provide recommendations to strengthen financial processes and controls.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting / finance experience, ideally in an international or remote environment.
  • Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting.
  • Experience managing or reviewing bookkeeping-level work.
  • Proficiency in accounting software and cloud-based tools.
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal oversight.
  • Preferred

  • Experience in a controller or staff accountant capacity for SMEs or startups.
  • Background in operations management alongside finance / accounting.
  • Familiarity with remote team structures and cross-border financial reporting.
