As we continue our ambitious growth trajectory, we are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Finance Operations Specialist to support our core finance operations.

Role overview:

This is a remote position so you will need to be self-motivated and be able to work independently with minimal supervision. As a Finance Operations Specialist, you will be responsible for managing invoicing and payment cycles, overseeing the integrity of our financial systems and records, liaising with external accountants, and ensuring accurate financial reporting. You will also be responsible for configuring and maintaining our accounting software (Xero and Joiin) to support scalability and compliance. This position is ideal for a CPA with an audit background and a strong grasp of operational finance in a fast-paced, international environment.

  • Supervise month-end close processes with our external accountants and ensure they maintain accurate general ledger entries

  • Manage day-to-day communication and coordination with external accountants and tax advisors

  • Own the configuration, maintenance, and optimization of Xero and Joiin accounting platforms

  • Review and validate employee expense claims and vendor invoices in line with finance policies

  • Assist in preparing management reports, financial statements, and reconciliations

  • Ensure internal controls, compliance processes, and audit readiness are upheld

  • Monitor budgets, support intercompany billing, and track cost allocations

  • Maintain well-organized, accessible financial documentation

  • Proactively identify and implement improvements to finance workflows and systems

Your profile

  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) required

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience, including audit experience in a professional services or corporate environment

  • Proficiency in Xero, including setup, configuration, and custom reporting

  • Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills; familiarity with additional finance tools is a plus

  • Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal

  • Excellent organizational and analytical abilities; self-driven and resourceful

  • Experience in a startup, SaaS, or international company environment is preferred

What we offer

  • Remote-first, international team

  • High-impact role in a fast-growing fintech company

  • Strong autonomy and opportunity to shape financial operations

  • Exposure to cross-functional, global projects

  • Competitive compensation with long-term career growth potential

  • UK business hours (GMT/GMT+1) (to be discussed)

How to Apply: If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your CV, brief cover letter, and any relevant references or credentials. Kindly include the following:

  • Your availability and preferred start date

  • Expected monthly rate in PHP
