Finance Controller

Workana connects companies with top talent across Latin America, from individual specialists to cross-functional teams and outcome-based projects. More than 2 million professionals join Workana every year, and over 500,000 companies have hired through the platform. Every placement helps a company scale faster and opens a new career path for someone talented.

Behind that activity there are entities in the US and Latin America, multiple currencies, banks and payment platforms, and tax rules that change from one country to the next. We are entering a new stage, and the business needs numbers it can trust to make decisions, a clear view of where cash is going, and a tax and compliance structure that works in our favor, not only one that keeps us up to date.

This is a hands‑on role. You will lead a lean finance team and work directly with our CFO, but you will get into the details yourself: reviewing reconciliations, questioning a balance that moved when it shouldn’t have, and modeling how a new product or a change in payment terms will affect liquidity before it happens.

The objective is simple and ambitious: make Workana’s numbers something leadership can rely on to decide, keep cash from ever surprising us, and turn compliance into savings for the business.

We are looking for someone who understands what sits behind the numbers and uses that understanding to protect and improve the business. You are deeply curious about AI, actively investigate new tools and applications, and know how to apply them thoughtfully to make finance work faster, sharper, and more reliable, without compromising accuracy or judgment.

You understand what is happening behind every number. When a balance moves, you ask why and investigate it yourself instead of taking the first explanation you get. You sign off only when you are convinced the figures are right, and you can defend them in front of anyone. You also notice when something should have moved and did not.

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close process.
• Ensure accurate recording of revenue, expenses, accruals, provisions, intercompany transactions, and balance sheet accounts.
• Your numbers can pass an external audit with no issues

You make sure cash flows today, and you know where it will be in three months. When the business launches a product, changes payment terms or signs a large client, you model the impact on liquidity before it happens, remove obstacles early and raise your hand well in advance if you see a serious problem coming.

• Support short‑term cash forecasting and liquidity management.
• Monitor accounts receivable aging and support collection efforts.
• Monitor accounts payable and ensure appropriate payment planning.
• Identify working capital risks and opportunities.

Being compliant is the starting point. You understand the rules well enough to question them, and you look for ways to reduce what we pay and the effort it takes to stay compliant, month after month and year after year. When an advisor brings a regulatory change, you want to know why it matters and what we can change to reduce its impact, not only how much it will cost.

• Coordinate with external accountants, tax advisors, auditors, payroll providers, legal advisors, and local accounting firms.
• Ensure timely completion of tax filings, statutory reporting, and other compliance requirements across jurisdictions.
• Maintain organized financial documentation and supporting records that stand up to audit and regulatory review.

If these three areas are not where you have personally delivered strong results, this probably is not the right role.
