We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Head of Finance to join our global team.
In this role, you will play a key part in maintaining our financial infrastructure, driving cross-border operational efficiency, and ensuring financial accuracy across operating entities in the EU, US, UK, and emerging markets.

You will act as a vital bridge between Product, Engineering, and Finance - structuring payment data into clear financial reporting, partnering with Product Owners on unit economics, and deploying cutting-edge AI automation to streamline financial processes.
Additionally, you will support our global regulatory compliance as we expand into new markets.

Key Responsibilities

1. Financial Infrastructure Ownership: Design and Implementation

  • Gather business requirements and define data logic to ensure payment and transaction data from all products flow seamlessly into our core financial reporting systems.

2. Product-Level Financial Modeling Ownership

  • Collaborate with Product Owners to analyze unit economics, build pre-launch financial models (pricing, margins, volume projections), and evaluate profitability.
  • Continuously monitor product-level performance to identify margin improvements, pricing optimization, and cost-reduction opportunities.

3. Financial Operations

  • Apply a unified methodology to consolidate product-level P&Ls, balance sheet data, and cash flow reports into clear group-level management views.
  • Support annual budget preparation and quarterly rolling forecasts, ensuring high data accuracy and variance tracking.
  • Maintain systematic cost-control tracking, monitor day-to-day operational expenses, and support intercompany funding allocations.
  • Assume full ownership of core financial processing, including managing ledger-to-subledger transaction flows, payment execution, and daily operational accounting reconciliations.

4. Regulatory Compliance and Audit Support

  • Assist in maintaining a unified calendar for local tax and regulatory reporting deadlines across all active jurisdictions (EU, US, UK, and emerging markets).
  • Work alongside accounting teams and Managing Directors to review financial data and verify local compliance.
  • Help prepare documentation, schedules, and reconciliations for external auditors and advisory partners.

Key Requirements and Qualifications

  • 4–7 years of relevant finance experience (Financial Analyst, FinOps Manager, or Senior Accountant), preferably in Fintech, Payments, or multi-market SaaS.
  • Strong expertise in financial data mapping, ERP/accounting systems, and advanced modeling tools to connect transactional data to accounting logic.
  • Hands-on experience building unit economics models, pricing frameworks, and product margin analyses.
  • Familiarity or direct experience using AI tools and automation software to streamline routine reporting tasks.
  • General familiarity with cross-border operations, IFRS/GAAP standards, and statutory audit workflows.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across departments (Product, Tech, Local MDs) and communicate financial insights clearly to finance leadership.
  • Language: Fluent English with excellent communication and reporting skills; Ukrainian or Russian will be an advantage.
