Description
You run operational finance: payables/receivables, expense management, payment runs, vendor terms, and the systems that keep money moving cleanly and on time. You make sure the books are ready for statutory close, cash is visible, controls are simple but solid, and routine workflows are automated. You’re a hands‑on manager; diving into ledgers one moment, unblocking an approval workflow the next—so the rest of the business can move fast with financial discipline.
Key Responsibilities
- |Own AP/AR cycles, expense reimbursements, payment runs, and vendor onboarding—ensure accuracy, timeliness, and proper approvals.
- Maintain cash visibility (daily/weekly reports), schedule payments, and flag liquidity concerns to the CFO (policy remains with CFO/Controller).
- Design, document, and enforce spend controls: procurement thresholds, reimbursement rules, and invoice approval workflows—simple, auditable, startup-friendly.
- Keep the ERP/accounting system clean: correct coding, GL mappings, and process guardrails; drive integrations with banking, custody, and expense tools.
- Lead the month-end operational close tasks (subsidiary ledgers, reconciliations) and hand off clean schedules to the Financial Controller for statutory finalization.
- Prepare operational finance dashboards (AP aging, DPO/DSO, spend by vendor/category) and share with department heads
- Support audits and regulatory submissions by assembling requested schedules and explanations.
- Continuously improve and automate: identify manual bottlenecks, propose tooling/low-code fixes, and implement SOPs.
- Hire, coach, and develop the accounting ops team; instill accuracy, speed, and strong internal-customer service.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- 4-5 years in finance/accounting with clear experience running AP/AR and operational finance processes; minimum one year people management.
- Strong ERP/ledger skills and a track record of process automation/integration.
- Solid grasp of IFRS and local tax/zakat basics to collaborate with the Controller
- Advanced Excel/Sheets; able to build clean operational reports (not driver-based forecasts).
- Detail-obsessed, deadline-driven, and comfortable operating independently in a startup.
- Excellent English (and ideally Arabic) communication; able to explain processes and requirements clearly.
- Saudi Nationals only.
Must have:
- Fintech or regulated financial-services exposure (custody, asset management, lending).
