  • Ensure administrative and recordkeeping tasks within the finance function follow established policies, procedures, and guidelines.
  • Provide guidance to junior colleagues on compliance requirements and monitor adherence to standards.

Payroll and payouts administration

  • Review payroll for core team members and cloud team payouts, serving as a point of contact for payroll-related questions.
  • Ensure payroll processes comply with relevant tax, labor, and industry-specific regulations.

Audit support

  • Oversee preparation for audits, ensuring financial records, documents, and information are organized and readily accessible to auditors.
  • Act as a liaison between the audit team and senior management, communicating audit progress, findings, and recommendations.
  • Prepare working papers, calculations, and reconciliations required for financial statement preparation.

Tax planning and compliance

  • Manage the company's tax obligations, including timely payment of corporation tax, payroll tax, withholding tax, and VAT.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant accounting standards, regulations, and company policies.

Internal controls

  • Collaborate with IT, operations, and compliance teams to ensure internal controls are effectively integrated across the organization.
  • Support the reliability and integrity of financial information through adherence to established controls and processes.

Stakeholder relationship management

  • Build and maintain positive relationships with clients, vendors, colleagues, and regulatory bodies.
  • Support the organization's reputation, growth, and sustainability through effective external engagement.

Budgeting and forecasting

  • Apply a fundamental grasp of budgeting principles to offer guidance on budget availability.
