Job Summary :

  • Handle cross-border finance coordination , including transfer pricing policy, intercompany accounting, and multi-currency consolidation with the UK head office.
  • Serve as the lead liaison for external auditors, banks, investors, and M&A due diligence partners.
  • Deliver real-time financial dashboards, monthly board-ready financial packages, and executive-level insights.
  • Advise on company structuring, funding options, tax optimization strategies, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

Qualifications and Experience :

  • 10+ years of progressive finance experience , with 5+ years in a senior leadership capacity at a multinational company , digital agency, or high-growth professional services firm.
  • CPA (Certified Public Accountant) required. MBA in Finance, CFA designation, or Big Four background is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience establishing finance operations in the U.S. for a foreign entity or startup entering a regulated market.
  • Deep expertise in U.S. GAAP, ASC 606 revenue recognition, Sarbanes-Oxley principles , and compliance with multi-state tax and labor regulations.
  • Proven success in building financial teams , implementing enterprise accounting systems, and optimizing cash burn and unit economics.
  • Advanced skills in financial modeling, scenario planning, and KPI analysis with Excel, Power BI, or Tableau .
  • Experience managing international banking , currency risk exposure, and intercompany reconciliation.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with experience advising executive leadership and boards.
  • Strong business acumen, risk management capabilities, and a track record of supporting strategic growth and fundraising initiatives .
  • Must be based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco . U.S. work authorization is required.
  • Application Process :
