Who might be a fit:
Responsibilities
The role requires extended work hours due to different time zones at times, but at the same time, provides a lot of opportunity for growth for ambitious individuals who want to improve their overall understanding of the business and finance world. There are tasks that are repeating and tasks that are on a project basis that require urgent attention. One day the person might have to be researching tax laws in Japan, figuring out employment laws in Nigeria, valuing real estate property in Miami Beach, and paying construction workers for office construction in Egypt while checking the work progress from the photos shared against the contract. The job also might require travel, where you may have to go to another office and organize the accounting system according to corporate policies or prepare for a tax audit, or find local accounting companies. Working on this job for sure requires a high level of self- awareness, ambition, interest in learning every day, and willingness to support the Executive Team in organizing everything that relates to money. The role requires high organizational skills, excellent communication skills and a high level of fluency in at least English but preferably in other global languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, German, or French. A good way to visualize the role is like the MI6 headquarters of James Bond, where they handle everything for him so that he can keep completing dangerous missions around the world but this time for a Global Fintech Company.
Review the expenses and make payments on them, continually improving the Accounts Payable management for the Executive Team’s approved expenses for extraordinary projects around the world.
Research legal and compliance laws in different countries about accounting and finance, and create processes and procedures to ensure the company’s different teams follow them.
Act as a corporate and personal assistant regarding all things finance, expense management, expense control, and decision- making
Maintain historical records by filing documents in a highly organized fashion in digital format, preparing for disaster scenarios.
Prepare projections and financial reports.
Review and Audit the work by using pragmatic and detail- oriented methodologies or spot- checking the logic of the work executed in other local and external finance teams to ensure accuracy.
