  • Delivering regional reporting preparing accurate monthly reporting packs, balance sheet reconciliations, and commentary for senior leadership.
  • Managing working capital overseeing accounts receivable performance and cash-related processes for the region.

  • The opportunity to shape the finance structure for a key strategic region
  • Significant involvement in a major global NetSuite migration
  • Exposure to M&A integration and multi-entity operations
  • A supportive environment with opportunities for long-term career growth
  • A modern working culture, based out of our newly established Fort Lauderdale headquarters

Skills and Experience

You’ll be a strong technical accountant with a grounding in rigorous environments and experience managing finance operations across complex or multi‑entity structures. You likely have:

  • CPA qualification
  • Solid experience in industry following Big 4 or equivalent training
  • Experience in SaaS, technology, or other fast‑growth, multi‑entity organisations
  • Strong US GAAP knowledge and familiarity with federal and state compliance requirements
  • Hands‑on NetSuite experience (essential), ideally including involvement in an ERP implementation or migration
