We need someone who finds that exciting, not exhausting.This role is for a technically rigorous accountant who wants to work on genuinely hard accounting problems—multi-entity consolidations, acquisition due diligence, US GAAP and IFRS alignment—and who has the ambition to automate everything that doesn't need a human brain attached to it.

Prepare and own financial statements under US GAAP, with IFRS alignment where required. Exercise judgment on revenue recognition, consolidation, and intercompany flows—in a context where the reporting framework evolves constantly as we acquire and integrate new businesses.Financial planning and control.

Build and improve internal controls, and facilitate external and internal audits with real ownership over how financial integrity is structured.Equity plans. Manage and optimize equity plans—implement, support team members on an ongoing basis, and evolve the program as it grows.What we look forReasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.Proficiency in English.
