What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end design and continuous improvement of accounting processes for payments, banking, and lending
• Work with large, complex datasets to identify process gaps, reconciliation issues, and automation opportunities
• Collaborate closely with finance and business stakeholders to ensure accounting processes scale and adapt with the business
• Act as the finance domain expert in conversations with Systems Architects, ERP, and product teams — ensuring accounting logic is reflected in how our SAP S/4HANA and SAP FICO systems are built and integrated
• Drive automation across the FGL domain, turning manual, fragmented processes into scalable, reliable accounting flows
• You’ll work closely with teams across our global locations, particularly in Bulgaria and São Paulo, building strong relationships and driving collaboration across regions.

What you'll bring

• A strong accounting foundation with genuine comfort working with large, complex datasets
• Strong understanding of financial products — payments, banking, or lending — and how they flow through an ERP and general ledger
• A strong risk and controls mindset — able to identify financial and operational risks, assess potential impacts, and implement controls that protect data integrity, financial accuracy and compliance
• Experience working with SAP financial modules, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP FICO
• Comfortable working with technology teams — you don't need to be technical, but you can translate finance requirements into something they can act on
• A process improvement mindset — you're energised by finding better ways, not maintaining the status quo
• Background in banking, financial services, or a high-growth fintech is preferred
• A Master's degree in Accounting or Finance is a plus
