About the role
- You are accountable for the integrity of WEKA's financial results and for the reporting, controls, and processes that must keep pace as the company scales.
Responsibilities
- Own the general ledger, monthly and quarterly close, multi-currency consolidations and intercompany accounting, AR/AP, and payroll accounting across all legal entities.
- Deliver US GAAP group reporting alongside statutory and local compliance in each jurisdiction, and drive the close toward public-company cadence and reliability.
- Manage cash and liquidity, banking relationships, and debt and covenant compliance as applicable.
- Manage the corporate investment portfolio under the board's investment policy, including its liquidity tiers and counterparty limits.
- Own the finance side of quote-to-cash - billing, collections, AR operations, and cash application - along with procurement/AP, vendor management, and the finance systems and ERP roadmap.
- Lead the modernization of these processes and systems, partnering with other functions to streamline the order-to-revenue flow and reduce cycle time and leakage.
- Internal control & audit. Design and operate WEKA's internal control environment and segregation-of-duties framework, manage the external audit relationship, and build the controls foundation the company needs as its reporting requirements grow.
- Leadership. Build, develop, and lead a globally distributed accounting and finance operations team, structured so that responsibility for building and operating processes is appropriately separated from responsibility for assuring them.
- Own the accounting positions that withstand external audit scrutiny.
Requirements
- Experience in a multi-entity, multi-currency, international operating environment with distributed teams across time zones.
- Extensive progressive experience in accounting and finance leadership, having owned a full accounting and control function as a Controller, Chief Accounting Officer, or equivalent - with complete technical, operational, and people responsibility.
- Deep technical accounting expertise, including ASC 606 revenue recognition for subscription and/or consumption models. CPA (or international equivalent) strongly preferred
- MBA a plus.
- A track record of building or materially improving a quote-to-cash cycle and/or leading an ERP or billing systems implementation - not only overseeing its accounting outputs.
- An operator's instinct alongside technical depth - comfortable moving from setting policy to improving the underlying processes and systems.
