• Participate in leadership meetings to represent the financial perspective in operational matters.

• Work alongside department heads for budget reviews, expenditure tracking, and resource distribution.

• Deliver ad-hoc financial analyses and provide coaching to non-finance stakeholders.

• Assist with strategic initiatives and long-term planning.

• Oversee the monthly closing process to ensure the accuracy of financial statements.

• Manage revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606 / IFRS 15, including handling deferred revenue, chargebacks, cancellations, and prior-period adjustments.

⛳️ Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive experience in finance and accounting, particularly within a SaaS or subscription-based organization.

• In-depth hands-on experience in FP&A: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial modeling are essential skills — you are capable of building driver-based models and rolling forecasts from scratch, rather than just modifying existing templates.

• Proven ability to translate numerical data into actionable decisions, including scenario modeling, leadership reporting, and collaboration with non-finance leaders on operational and investment decisions.

• Strong understanding of SaaS/subscription metrics — MRR/ARR, churn, LTV, CAC, payback, and net dollar retention — along with the consumer subscription economics that underpin them.

• Controller-level accounting expertise: you have managed or closely supervised the monthly closing process and revenue recognition (ASC 606 or IFRS 15), enabling you to oversee the accounting function rather than merely analyzing its outputs.

• Proficiency with subscription billing platforms (ChargeBee, Stripe, Recurly, or similar) and accounting software (QuickBooks).

• Experience with consumer or self-service subscription models (high-volume, low-ACV).

• Background working in a startup or high-growth company with revenues under $25M, where you have taken on multiple roles and functioned as a generalist.

• Excellent communication skills in English — capable of clearly presenting financial insights to non-financial stakeholders and engaging effectively in leadership meetings.

• A collaborative and confident communicator who excels in a fully remote setting — you actively seek cross-functional partnerships rather than waiting for requests.

• CPA, CMA, or equivalent professional certification, along with direct experience with ChargeBee and a comfort level in utilizing AI tools for financial analysis, are all significant advantages.

🏝️ Benefits

• Collaborate with a distributed global team across Latin America, Europe, and the US, which has embraced a remote-first approach since 2018.

• Competitive salary.

• Flexible work schedule.
