The posting

Second Foundation is a global energy trading company with over 450 employees across offices in Prague (HQ, CZ), Zug (CH), Mainz (DE), Berlin (DE), Charlotte (USA), and Tokyo (JP). We specialize in the physical trading of electricity across 21 markets in Europe, North America, and Asia. With a strong focus on sustainable energy markets, our competitive edge lies in combining exceptional talent, innovative technology, and a deep understanding of the evolving energy landscape.

In Japan, Second Foundation operates as an aggregator and developer in the electricity market, with a particular focus on battery energy storage systems (BESS), dispatch optimization, and market trading—further strengthening our global commitment to advancing the future of energy.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Finance Specialist to oversee the financial operations of our subsidiary Nihon Obno in Japan. You will work closely with the CEO of Nihon Obno, the local team, and the Finance team at our Prague headquarters. The role combines accounting oversight with controlling, reporting, treasury, and intercompany financing.

What you would work on?

  • Oversee the work of internal and external accountants, ensuring accurate and timely accounting, monthly close, statutory statements, and tax filings.
  • Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual management reports for Prague HQ, including checks to support Group consolidation.
  • Manage controlling activities, including budgeting, forecasting, management accounting, and analysis of financial performance.
  • Oversee cash flow, payments, and treasury activities, including the management of intercompany loans.
  • Ensure compliance with Japanese accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements in cooperation with external advisors.
  • Coordinate the annual audit and act as the main contact for external auditors.
  • Act as a key finance contact between Nihon Obno and Prague HQ, supporting day-to-day finance operations and improving processes and controls.

What makes you a great candidate?

  • At least 5 years of relevant experience in finance, accounting, or controlling, ideally in an international environment.
  • Hands-on accounting experience, including working with internal or external accountants.
  • Experience in management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Experience with treasury, payments, or intercompany financing is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of Japanese accounting standards and local financial regulations.
  • Experience with consolidation and intercompany reconciliations is a plus.
  • Experience in the energy or real estate sector is an advantage, but not essential.
  • Proficiency in Excel and experience with ERP systems.
  • Strong Japanese and English communication skills.
  • A hands-on, independent approach and the ability to work effectively across cultures.

What we offer?

  • 20 days of paid vacation (in addition to national holidays).
  • Flexible working hours and home office options.
  • Competitive salary with a performance-based bonus structure.
  • Latest tech tools: High-end phone and laptop provided to support your productivity.
  • Exciting work with a talented team in project development.
  • Short decision-making paths and rapid development opportunities.

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.
