⭐ The Accounting Director will lead the global accounting function across our three locations (EMEA, US, and Singapore) and own the integrity, accuracy, and compliance of the Group’s financial records. This role is responsible for building and maintaining a scalable, audit-ready accounting organization that can support a fast-growing SaaS business and increasingly complex reporting and statutory requirements.

You will manage and develop a small & talented team, coordinate with external accounting partners where relevant, and act as the senior accounting leader for cross-functional stakeholders globally. You will partner closely with Finance leadership to set accounting policies, strengthen internal controls, anticipate risk, and support strategic initiatives (new entities, process/tooling evolution, potential M&A integration). This is a high-ownership role requiring strong technical judgment, operational excellence, and the ability to communicate clearly in English with international stakeholders and auditors.

****👉 Your scope: As the Global Accoutant Director :

Global Accounting Leadership & Close Governance

You will set the operating rhythm and standards for global accounting, ensuring consistent execution across EMEA, US, and Singapore. You will own the month-end and year-end close governance, including close timelines, review standards, quality controls, and escalation management. You will ensure balance sheet integrity through robust reconciliations and review, and you will drive continuous improvements to shorten close timelines and increase reliability.

Accounting Policy, Technical Accounting & Judgment

You will own and document key accounting positions and policies relevant to a global SaaS group (e.g., revenue recognition, contract modifications, commissions/cost capitalization, FX, leases, share-based payments, intercompany). You will ensure appropriate application of local statutory requirements while maintaining consistent group reporting and management reporting principles. You will proactively assess the impact of evolving standards and business changes and translate them into operational accounting practices.

Audit Ownership & External Stakeholder Management

You will be the primary point of contact for external auditors and advisors, owning audit planning, coordination, and delivery. You will ensure audit readiness year-round through strong documentation, control evidence, and a disciplined PBC process. You will manage relationships with local advisors (tax, payroll, corporate secretarial) across jurisdictions as needed.

Revenue, Order-to-Cash & Finance Operations Partnership

You will provide oversight of revenue accounting for subscription-based offerings, including billing flows, revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and cut-off. You will partner with Sales Ops/RevOps, Legal, and FP&A to ensure contracting and pricing structures support clean accounting outcomes. You will guide improvements to order-to-cash controls (invoicing quality, credit notes, collections escalation, bad debt policy).

Consolidation, Intercompany & Group Reporting

You will own consolidation processes across entities, ensuring accurate intercompany accounting, reconciliations, eliminations, and multi-currency translation where relevant. You will ensure the quality and timeliness of group reporting inputs and work with FP&A on management reporting, variance explanations, and executive dashboards.

Processes, Risk Management & Scalability

You will design and strengthen accounting processes to support scale—covering close, revenue, treasury, intercompany, and compliance. You will identify accounting, tax, and treasury risks early and implement mitigation plans. You will help shape the roadmap for accounting tooling/automation (ERP, close management, billing integrations), balancing pragmatism with long-term scalability.

Team Management & Talent Development

You will lead, coach, and grow the accounting team, setting clear expectations and building a culture of rigor, ownership, and continuous improvement. You will define what should be handled in-house versus with external providers, and you will ensure the operating model is fit for global growth

  • Collaborate with CPA teams and external advisors to ensure timely compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements
  • Prepare and support Local and international tax filings

  • Strong technical accounting background with demonstrated ability to own complex judgments (revenue recognition, commissions/costs, consolidation, intercompany, FX).
  • Proven track record of leading external audits and strengthening audit readiness and controls.
  • Hands-on understanding of consolidation processes (monthly/annually), intercompany eliminations, and group reporting cadence.
  • Strong systems orientation; experience driving accounting process/tool improvements (ERP and adjacent finance tooling).

International / Communication Requirements

  • Fluent professional English (written and spoken)—used daily with US and Singapore stakeholders, auditors, and advisors.
  • Ability to communicate accounting topics clearly to senior non-finance stakeholders and to influence decision-making across time zones and cultures.

Leadership

  • Proven people leadership skills (coaching, performance management, team scaling).
  • Strong executive presence, structured approach, and ability to set standards and hold teams accountable.
