At Passion.io, we’re on a mission to make the world more confident and passionate by helping creators build life-changing mobile apps. 🚀 With thousands of creators and hundreds of thousands of users, we need a Finance Manager who can keep our financial engine running and future-proof it for scale.
But… This isn’t a “just close the books” role. This is the heartbeat of our business. You’ll be part detective, part architect, and part coach.
🕵️♂️ Detective? You spot anomalies before anyone else.
🏗️ Architect? You build processes that scale smoothly.
🏋 Coach? You lead and motivate a tight-knit finance team.
You’ll be hands-on with day-to-day Finance Ops while steering key processes that keep us compliant, efficient, and ready for the next stage of growth. 📈
💡 What You’ll Own: Accuracy. Insight. Leadership.
Lead the Numbers Game - You’ll be the go-to person for all things finance and make sure everything adds up - from monthly reconciliations to strategic insights that help guide big decisions.
Here’s where you’ll make your impact:
📘 Financial Stewardship - Lead the accounting and consolidation process, making sure every figure reconciles perfectly
📈 Tell the Story Behind the Data - Turn rows of numbers into insights our leaders can act on
💳 Run the Finance Engine- Manage virtual spend programs, payroll, vendor payments - smooth, on time, and accurate
👥 Team Leadership - Manage, motivate, and develop a small but mighty finance team
🛠 Upgrade How We Work - Spot inefficiencies, lead tool transitions, and make finance ops faster and smarter to create systems that scale as we grow
✨ Are you our next Finance Mind behind the mission?
We’re looking for someone who’s as comfortable rolling up their sleeves on reconciliations as they are communicating the company’s financial health to leadership.
✅ What Makes You Perfect for This Role:
- 2+ years as a Finance Manager (or similar) - you’ve run the show before with deep experience in financial accounting, analysis & reporting
- 2+ years in Finance Operations - you know payroll, virtual spend programs & reconciliations inside out
- You’ve led at least one team member and loved mentoring them
- You’re officially certified - CA(SA), CIMA, CPA, ACA, ACCA (or an equivalent accounting designation)
- Articulate and approachable - you make finance understandable, explaining complex numbers simply and clearly, and turning data into meaningful narratives
- Detail-obsessed(every decimal counts!) but you also zoom out to connect those details to the bigger picture
- Comfortable living in Google Sheets - you can create, clean up, and collaborate on spreadsheets like a pro, keeping data accurate and accessible for the whole team.”
🌟 Bonus points if you:
- Have SaaS or tech industry experience
- Hands-on knowledge of QuickBooks
- Experience leading finance ops projects (e.g. payroll tool transitions, accounting automation, etc.)
- Thrives in a remote-first environment
- Extra kudos if you’ve worked with tools like Bill.com, Ramp, or reporting dashboards like Tableau or Power BI - and can translate all those rows and charts into something people can actually use.

✈️ Global Gatherings - Meet the team in epic offsite locations (think: Croatia, Portugal, Greece).
📈 Career Growth - We invest in YOU with coaching, training, and development.
🧠 Ownership & Autonomy - You’ll have freedom to lead, experiment & improve
🏝 Time Off That Counts - 24 paid vacation days + 10 “Celebration Leave” days for holidays that matter to you.
