About Brixio:

Brixio is a fast-scaling global IT group with operations across the UAE, Philippines, Singapore, France, and Luxembourg. We serve mid-sized enterprises with digital transformation services in cloud, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, and application development. After a series of acquisitions and integrations, we’re now consolidating our finance operations into a scalable, centralized platform to support sustainable growth and future capital raises.

---

The Mission:

To own and rebuild Brixio’s finance operations from the ground up — ensuring accurate, timely, and audit-ready reporting, cleaning up legacy inefficiencies, and implementing world-class processes that support international growth, compliance, and visibility.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting & Financial Control

  • Own the end-to-end accounting process for all entities (Philippines, Singapore, UAE, France, Luxembourg)
  • Ensure timely and accurate monthly closes, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Maintain a clean, auditable general ledger and chart of accounts
  • Oversee intercompany transactions, eliminations, and group consolidation

Financial Systems & Automation

  • Lead the implementation of Xero (or equivalent), Dext, ApprovalMax, and finance automation tools
  • Design scalable AR/AP workflows linked to CRM triggers and cash flow forecasts
  • Define data and system architecture that supports future ERP rollout

Compliance & Statutory Oversight

  • Coordinate local compliance via vendors: tax filings, VAT, payroll, year-end financials
  • Ensure full alignment with PFRS, IFRS, and local statutory standards
  • Liaise with auditors and legal advisors as required

Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Manage and mentor junior finance operations staff (AP/AR roles)
  • Collaborate closely with FP&A to provide accurate data for budgeting, forecasts, and board reporting
  • Act as the finance point of contact for the CEO and Group Chairman

Legacy Cleanup & Transformation

  • Lead the cleanup and possible restructuring of the Philippine entity (books, historical filings, process)
  • Map and correct past inconsistencies, especially BIR-related
  • Build a durable finance foundation that eliminates manual, error-prone processes
Requirements

Must-Have Experience

  • 10+ years experience in accounting/finance roles, with at least 3–5 years in a senior finance leadership position
  • Experience in multi-entity, multi-currency environments
  • Strong command of financial systems (Xero, NetSuite, Oracle) and Excel
  • Proven track record of handling consolidated reporting and statutory compliance
  • Experience working in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments (tech, outsourcing, or services sectors)

Soft Skills & Culture Fit

  • Obsessive about accuracy, deadlines, and structure
  • Solutions-oriented and execution-driven
  • High integrity and ownership mindset — acts like a founder
  • Strong communicator across functions and countries

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience supporting fundraising, M&A, or due diligence
  • Background in shared services or regional finance hubs
  • Exposure to Europe/Middle East tax environments (Luxembourg, France, UAE)
Benefits

Growth Path:

This role is a CFO-track position. We expect the Head of Finance to scale with the group and transition into full CFO responsibilities within 12–18 months, as we prepare for institutional funding and international expansion.
