Reports to CEO

The Role We are looking for a world-class financial leader to step into the role of Global Controller. As a top-tier financial strategist , you will oversee and own financial reporting integrity across our multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction platform. You will work directly with the CEO on capital markets and acquisition work. This is high impact financial ownership: accuracy, controls, and judgment under pressure not a review-only seat.

• Monthly, quarterly, and annual close and consolidations across entities and jurisdictions (US GAAP and IFRS as applicable)
• Quality control of accounting-team output before it reaches leadership.
• CEO special projects: projections, scenarios, capital markets and transaction support
• M&A / JV support: financial due diligence, valuation support, and integration analysis
• Audit and tax coordination with external advisors across jurisdictions
• Internal controls, treasury discipline, and ERP-based reporting (Acumatica or equivalent)

• Big 4 audit or advisory experience (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, or PwC), with progression to senior/manager-level engagements
• Top-tier university degree in accountancy or finance with strong academic standing.
• CPA required; CMA, ACCA, or equivalent professional designation strongly preferred
• 12+ years of progressive finance/accounting experience, including multi-entity consolidations and multi-jurisdiction reporting (US GAAP and IFRS as applicable)
• Proven experience beyond day-to-day operational accounting: capital markets, M&A, or acquisition modeling.
• Comfort operating independently and reporting directly to a CEO
• Willingness to complete a cognitive assessment (PLI) as part of screening.

• Experience in alternative asset management, private credit, or non-bank lending
• Experience with Acumatica or a comparable cloud ERP
• Familiarity with US and Gulf/MENA regulatory environments (e.g., CBB, SAMA)
