- Own the integrity and audit-quality of the financials. Take ownership of the company's accounting integrity and ensure financial reporting is accurate, compliant, and defensible across all entities — in partnership with the accounting team that runs the day-to-day close and statements.
- Own multi-entity consolidation and the controls around the close. Own clean, accurate multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and the control framework that sits around the monthly close, so the numbers are dependable and audit-grade.
- Drive audit readiness. Document internal controls, implement defensible revenue recognition, and bring the company to a point where it can confidently face an external audit.
- Design and oversee the ERP migration. Lead the design of the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite (or equivalent) migration as the backbone of a more mature, audit-grade finance infrastructure, partnering with the accounting team and NetSuite consultants on execution.

- SE Ranking is a profitable, growing B2B SaaS business - around 200 people, remote-first and globally distributed. As the business has scaled into a more complex multi-entity, multi-currency structure, we're hiring a senior controllership leader to own the integrity, accuracy, and audit-readiness of our books.
- This is a hands-on, build-oriented role for someone who takes real pride in well-controlled, audit-grade financials - and who wants to mature the accounting function as the company's structure and ambitions grow. You'll own the accounting backbone: multi-entity consolidation, internal controls, compliance, and the path to a clean external audit.
- You'll report to the CFO and work closely with the wider leadership team. If you're energised by raising the bar on how a scaling, multi-entity business runs its numbers, in a fast-moving, low-ego, global team, this is your role.
- Senior experience. At a B2B SaaS or comparable technology company. You've built or materially upgraded an accounting function, not just maintained a mature one.
- Audit pedigree and qualification. A Big Four (or comparable) background with roughly 10+ years in audit and controls, and an ACCA (preferred) or CPA qualification. You've prepared for or managed an external audit of consolidated entities specifically and you know what audit-ready actually means in practice.
- ERP migration experience. You've led or played a central role in a finance systems upgrade. You understand what it takes to get from growing to audit-grade maturity.
- Multi-currency and international finance experience. Managing books across multiple countries, entities, and currencies is second nature to you. European experience is a strong plus (VAT, local statutory regimes), and you're comfortable with international tax, transfer pricing, multi-jurisdiction compliance, and bridging GAAP and IFRS.
- Ownership of a control environment. You've built the controls, documentation, and consolidation discipline behind a dependable close.
- Modern, tech-forward mindset. You're comfortable in an async-first, globally distributed environment where Slack and clear written communication are the default.
