Who you are

You’ve done this before — 5-8 years of experience spanning at least two of treasury, FP&A, and accounting. Enough to have seen things go wrong, not so much that you can’t do hands-on work.

You understand payments — fintech or payments experience strongly preferred. You can explain how cash moves through a cross-border payments business.

You’re hands-on — comfortable building the spreadsheet, closing the books, and chasing the invoice yourself. No team to delegate to yet.

You’re commercially minded — you see finance as an operational function, not a back-office one. You flag issues before they become problems.

You produce clean output — investor updates, board materials, and financial models that are clear, accurate, and produced without heavy supervision.

You’re qualified — ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA, or equivalent — or enough experience that the qualification doesn’t matter.

Bonus: Experience with stablecoin or crypto treasury, multi-entity consolidation, or Big 4 fintech practice.

Some topics you’ll think about

How do you manage liquidity when you hold cash in GBP, EUR, and USD, plus USDT, with payout partners requiring NGN prefunding on unpredictable volumes?

What does unit economics tracking look like for a business with multiple corridors, each with different partner costs, FX spreads, and take rates?

How do customer funds held in stablecoins before payout show up on the balance sheet?

We have entities in the UK, Slovakia, and Canada with intercompany flows. What’s the right approach to consolidation and transfer pricing?

We’re growing fast but controls are minimal. Where do you focus first, and what do you explicitly not do yet?
