About the role
We're looking for a Financial Controller who sees AI as a fundamental rethink of how financial control gets done rather than just a productivity tool. This is not a role for someone who wants to run the same playbook they ran at their last company. It's a role for someone who has looked at the traditional controllership function - close, consolidation, intercompany, technical accounting, controls - and concluded that most of it can and should be reimagined from first principles. You'll co-own financial control across a multi-entity group spanning 10+ legal entities across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, with new entities being spun up as we scale. The structure is genuinely complex: multiple functional currencies, intercompany flows that touch revenue recognition and a mix of direct employees, contractors, and EOR arrangements. For the right person, this is the perfect opportunity. You'll take our controllership function from where it is today to public-company readiness - and you'll do it with a mandate to build it the way it should be built, not the way it has always been built. Few controllers get to define what an AI-native finance function actually looks like in production, at scale, under real audit scrutiny. You will. If you want a role that will compress a decade of career development into a few years, and leave you as one of a small number of people who have actually done this, this is it. Salary range: EU: €80,000 - 100,000 (The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process. We're open to considering outlier candidates, which may result in an adjustment to the scope and compensation)
Responsibilities
- You will be accountable for the integrity of our financial records across the group. That includes:
- Own the day-to-day accounting and P2P across our multi-entity structure
- Monthly, quarterly, and annual close - and aggressively shortening the cycle
- Group consolidation, intercompany elimination, and FX translation across 10+ entities
- Co-design the internal control environment, including the design and documentation work required to be IPO-ready
- Statutory reporting and local compliance across all operating jurisdictions
- Tax compliance coordination, transfer pricing documentation, and cross-border structuring questions in partnership with external advisors
- Support the company's international expansion plans
- Operationalize technical accounting positions under US GAAP (e.g., ASC 606 and ASC 718) and the IFRS equivalents where relevant for statutory reporting
Requirements
- Transaction processing and coding - AP, expense classification, intercompany allocations, with AI handling the long tail and humans reviewing exceptions
- Reconciliatio
