  • Track, analyze, and report SaaS metrics including MRR, ARR, churn, customer retention, CAC, and LTV.
  • Reconcile subscription, recurring billing, and usage data with management accounts in alignment with revenue recognition principles.
  • Support post-acquisition financial integrations across acquired businesses.
  • Audit financial workflows, identify manual bottlenecks, and implement automation tools and internal controls.
  • Coach and uplift bookkeeping and operational finance team members, establishing procedures, responsibilities, and reporting deadlines.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
  • Advanced Excel skills for complex financial modeling.
  • Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills for senior stakeholder management.
  • Professional qualification such as CPA, CA, ACCA, or equivalent (desired, not required).
