Finance Lead; Remote, Multi

Beyond EQT Real Estate Development Ltd (Cyprus) is hiring for the wider group it's part of. The group spans real estate development and contracting, software development and business intelligence, and a private investment holding company, with entities across four countries and a fifth on the way.

This is a role about building something from the ground up, not managing an existing setup. If you've overseen a fifteen-person finance team before, this will feel like a step down in scale. Right now, there's no real finance function external accountants handle filings in each country, and the founder covers everything else himself. Your job is to build the function and grow with it.

The founder has genuine hands-on knowledge of cross-border structuring and international tax, and is willing to invest time mentoring someone who proves they're worth it. That mentorship is central to the role. The Group Finance Manager title isn't given upfront you grow into it.
