  • Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports for management and stakeholders.
  • Lead the budgeting and forecasting process, including variance analysis and performance reporting.
  • Manage cash flow, working capital, and treasury activities, including banking relationships and FX exposure.
  • Ensure full compliance with accounting standards, tax regulations, and internal policies.
  • Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and regulators.
  • Provide financial insights and decision support to operational and commercial teams to improve profitability and cost control.
  • Strengthen internal controls, financial processes, and reporting systems, driving efficiency and accuracy.
  • Build, lead, and develop the finance team, setting clear objectives and supporting professional development.
  • Support strategic initiatives, business planning, and investment analysis.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
