1 Openings
### Opportunity Overview
A high-growth, multi-entity business is entering its next phase of scale, with strong revenue momentum and a clear path toward public markets.
The company operates at significant scale across categories, with complex revenue streams, inventory-heavy operations, and multiple legal entities.
This role will anchor finance controllership and governance, while partnering closely with business leaders to drive performance and decision-making.
### Role Summary
This is a business-facing finance leadership role, not a traditional accounting mandate.
You will work directly with the CFO to own end-to-end controllership, strengthen financial discipline, and translate numbers into actionable insights for leadership.
### Immediate Priorities (First 3–6 Months)
* Stabilize and strengthen financial reporting and month-end closure across entities
* Build tighter governance on revenue recognition, margins, and cost structures
* Anchor business reviews with leadership, driving insight-led decisions
* Strengthen audit readiness, compliance, and internal controls
### Key Responsibilities
* Own end-to-end controllership: financial accounting, reporting, audits, compliance, and internal controls
* Track and influence business performance across revenue, margins, and cost levers
* Lead audits and compliance engagements, acting as the primary interface with external stakeholders
* Drive monthly business reviews with leadership teams, translating numbers into decisions
* Partner with operating teams to improve working capital, cost efficiency, and overall financial health
* Support IPO-related finance and compliance readiness, where applicable
* Build and lead a high-performing finance team
### Ideal Candidate
* Chartered Accountant with 18+ years of experience in controllership
* Strong exposure to scale and complexity (multi-entity, high-volume operations)
* Experience in high-growth, listed, or IPO-bound environments preferred
* Strong business finance orientation, not just accounting expertise
* Ability to influence leadership and drive cross-functional outcomes
* Proven team leadership and stakeholder management skills
### What Will Not Work
* Pure accounting profiles without business partnering exposure
* Candidates who have not operated at scale or complexity
* Low ownership, reporting-focused profiles without decision-making influence
### Why This Role
* Direct partnership with CFO and leadership team
* Opportunity to shape finance in a high-growth, pre-IPO environment
* High visibility and impact across business decisions
* Ability to influence systems, processes, and financial outcomes at scale
