ROLE OVERVIEW:
Our client is an end-to-end B2B SaaS platform delivering specialized workforce management software designed for operational precision across scheduling, compliance, time tracking, invoicing, and payroll. Operating in a high-volume, multi-entity environment undergoing rapid international expansion and strategic acquisitions, the organization is bringing its core finance operations fully in-house to support scalable long-term growth. Working closely with executive leadership, this critical role goes beyond traditional accounting to take complete ownership of financial consolidations, month-end close optimization, SaaS performance metrics, and commercial analysis. We are seeking a proactive leader with a Financial Controller mindset who can independently challenge assumptions, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and bring clear financial visibility to strategic executive decisions.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Financial Close, Reporting & Multi-Entity Consolidation:
Take end-to-end ownership of the month-end close cycle, including journal entries, accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations, and consolidated financial reporting.
Lead the strategic transition of financial close and reporting activities from external advisers to the internal finance function.
Audit and streamline close workflows to significantly reduce month-end closing timelines from 2–3 weeks.
Prepare accurate, consolidated profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports across multiple domestic and international entities while maintaining audit-ready documentation.
Management Accounting & Commercial Analysis:
Deliver monthly management accounts supported by deep, commercially relevant commentary on business performance and profitability drivers.
Perform budget-versus-actual and month-on-month variance analyses, actively investigating root causes rather than merely reporting numbers.
Develop, maintain, and refine annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and multi-entity cash flow projections.
Partner with executive leadership to evaluate operational margins, identify financial risks, and translate complex financial data into actionable growth strategies.
SaaS Performance Metrics & Revenue Recognition:
Track, analyze, and report on key SaaS metrics, including MRR, ARR, churn, customer retention, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and customer lifetime value (LTV).
Reconcile complex subscription, recurring billing, and usage data with core management accounts in full alignment with revenue recognition principles.
Acquisitions & Process Transformation:
Support post-acquisition financial integrations, harmonizing accounting policies, chart of accounts, and financial frameworks across acquired businesses.
Audit existing financial workflows, identify manual bottlenecks, and implement modern automation tools and robust internal controls.
Coach and uplift existing bookkeeping and operational finance team members, establishing clear procedures, responsibilities, and reporting deadlines.
