We’re a scaling GRC SaaS business with an expanding Americas footprint. As our Financial Controller for the region, you’ll provide technical leadership, governance, and stability across a growing multi‑entity portfolio.
This is a key role in our finance organisation: you’ll take ownership of the Americas financial operations, lead a structured transition from the incumbent Controller, and play a central part in our Group-wide NetSuite migration. You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance and Group Finance(based West Coast) to ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency across reporting, controls, tax, and integration activity. For a technically strong accountant who enjoys improving processes, strengthening controls, and leading through change, this role offers both challenge and long-term progression.
Responsibilities
You’ll be responsible for the full financial control environment across the Americas region, including:
- Regional ownership of financial operations: ensuring consistent, compliant processes and embedding strong accounting discipline across all entities.
- Supporting M&A integration: aligning newly acquired businesses to Group policies, reporting frameworks, and control standards.
- Leading ERP migration activity: working closely on our NetSuite implementation to ensure data integrity, system readiness, and a smooth transition from legacy platforms.
- Overseeing tax and compliance: coordinating direct and indirect tax obligations with Group Tax and external advisors, including multi‑state US sales tax.
- Enhancing processes and internal controls: identifying gaps, designing improvements, and embedding scalable ways of working.
- 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.
- Leading and supporting the regional finance team: providing clear direction, technical guidance, and development to colleagues in South America and elsewhere.
You’ll also travel regularly to work with teams, support integration efforts, and strengthen relationships across the business.
Why move for this role:
- A senior regional finance role with genuine scope and influence
- 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
- Experience with US sales tax, including multi‑state obligations
- Confidence improving processes, strengthening controls, and working through transformation
- Experience leading or supporting distributed teams
- The ability to communicate clearly with finance and non‑finance stakeholders
- A pragmatic, detail‑oriented, and organised approach to managing complexity
This role suits someone who is thorough, dependable, and motivated by building a well-run, compliant, and scalable finance function.
