## Job description

SE Ranking is a profitable, growing B2B SaaS business - around 200 people, remote-first and globally distributed. As the business has scaled into a more complex multi-entity, multi-currency structure, we're hiring a senior controllership leader to own the integrity, accuracy, and audit-readiness of our books.

This is a hands-on, build-oriented role for someone who takes real pride in well-controlled, audit-grade financials - and who wants to mature the accounting function as the company's structure and ambitions grow. You'll own the accounting backbone: multi-entity consolidation, internal controls, compliance, and the path to a clean external audit.

You'll report to the CFO and work closely with the wider leadership team. If you're energised by raising the bar on how a scaling, multi-entity business runs its numbers, in a fast-moving, low-ego, global team, this is your role.

## What you'll do

* **Own the integrity and audit-quality of the financials.** Take ownership of the company's accounting integrity and ensure financial reporting is accurate, compliant, and defensible across all entities — in partnership with the accounting team that runs the day-to-day close and statements.
* **Own multi-entity consolidation and the controls around the close.** Own clean, accurate multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and the control framework that sits around the monthly close, so the numbers are dependable and audit-grade.
* **Drive audit readiness.** Document internal controls, implement defensible revenue recognition, and bring the company to a point where it can confidently face an external audit.
* **Design and oversee the ERP migration.** Lead the design of the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite (or equivalent) migration as the backbone of a more mature, audit-grade finance infrastructure, partnering with the accounting team and NetSuite consultants on execution.
* **Build the control environment.** Establish the accounting policies, internal controls, and process documentation a scaling, internationally distributed business needs.
* **Own compliance, transfer pricing, and IP.** Own multi-jurisdiction statutory compliance and international tax, and lead transfer pricing and the tracking of IP flows across entities for the group's structure — working closely with external advisors.
* **Own key external relationships.** Own the relationships with the company's banks, CPA firm, auditors, and core finance and accounting vendors, including bank communications and reporting.
* **Lead a lean controllership team.** Develop the dedicated support this function needs so controls, compliance, and consolidation scale with the business.

## We're looking for someone who has

* **Senior experience.** At a B2B SaaS or comparable technology company. You've built or materially upgraded an accounting function, not just maintained a mature one.
* **Audit pedigree and qualification.** A Big Four (or comparable) background with roughly 10+ years in audit and controls, and an ACCA (preferred) or CPA qualification. You've prepared for or managed an external audit of consolidated entities specifically and you know what audit-ready actually means in practice.
* **ERP migration experience.** You've led or played a central role in a finance systems upgrade. You understand what it takes to get from growing to audit-grade maturity.
* **Multi-currency and international finance experience.** Managing books across multiple countries, entities, and currencies is second nature to you. European experience is a strong plus (VAT, local statutory regimes), and you're comfortable with international tax, transfer pricing, multi-jurisdiction compliance, and bridging GAAP and IFRS.
* **Ownership of a control environment.** You've built the controls, documentation, and consolidation discipline behind a dependable close.
* **Modern, tech-forward mindset.** You're comfortable in an async-first, globally distributed environment where Slack and clear written communication are the default.

## Bonus points, if you have

* **Experience integrating finance teams or functions post-acquisition.**
* **Experience building and experimenting with AI solutions.** You've designed and implemented AI-assisted workflows or automations in a finance context, not just adopted existing tools.
* **Familiarity with SaaS metrics.** NDR, GRR, deferred revenue, and how the accounting supports them.

## What we offer

* 22 days of paid time off, plus your local national holidays
* Flexible work hours and a culture that trusts you to manage your time
* Private medical insurance or a medical allowance (depending on your location)
* Extended paid sick leave so you can fully recover without worry
* AI investment. We invest heavily in AI so you'll have the opportunity to build skills that matter for the next decade of your career, not just this role.
* A quarterly learning budget for courses, books, or anything that helps you grow professionally
* A quarterly wellbeing budget you can use for sport, therapy, or even a good novel
* A quarterly co-working budget so you can work from wherever feels right
* Best hardware for your work (team Apple)
* A transparent, flexible culture with people at the core of everything we do
