Description

We're not hiring a CFO. We're not hiring a spreadsheet builder. We're not hiring someone who needs a team of five to do the work of one. We need a Finance Operator. Someone who walks into organised chaos, rolls up their sleeves, oversees the right people and processes, and doesn't leave until it's a machine.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will report directly to and support our Director of Finance freeing them from the operational grind so they can focus on strategy and growth. You will inherit a multi-entity structure with real operational complexity: live cash flow pressure, a payment infrastructure in transition, manual processes that need to be automated, and financial data that needs to be turned into clean, actionable systems.

Your mandate is simple: stabilise, systematise, and automate. You will oversee the people and processes that execute this work and where needed, you will get into the detail yourself.

Cash Flow & Treasury Oversight & Execution

  • Own the daily cash cycle across all entities DMCC, Acquisity, AI Broker, and others
  • Oversee and manage high-volume USD revenue flows from Whop into UAE bank accounts
  • Ensure seamless daily funding of GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend ad accounts do not pause on your watch
  • Build a live cash visibility system so the Director of Finance sees the position at a glance, not after a request

Payment Infrastructure Lead the Transition

  • Lead the full migration from legacy Pleo/UK-entity setup to Qashio (UAE-native)
  • Evaluate and implement Whop's virtual card platform for a direct, automated Meta spend link
  • Eliminate manual card-topping and payment bottlenecks entirely
  • Every payment flow you touch should end up tracked, reconciled, and automated

Systems, SOPs & Automation

  • Audit every manual finance process. If a human is doing it repeatedly, it should be automated or systematised
  • Build and implement SOPs across cash management, reporting, payments, refunds, and reconciliation and ensure the team follows them
  • Work with our external bookkeeping partner (Emifast) to ensure Xero is accurate, current, and structured properly across all entities
  • Convert chaotic financial data into clean, trackable dashboards the Director of Finance and executive team can rely on

Entity & Vendor Management

  • Oversee financial operations across 2–3 entities, each with different products and revenue structures
  • Hold external bookkeeping accountable quality, timeliness, accuracy. No exceptions
  • Manage the financial wind-down of the legacy UK entity once the new payment infrastructure is live

Reporting

  • Deliver distilled, executive-ready reporting: cash position, P&L by entity, key risks in five bullet points, not twenty tabs
  • Surface profitability issues early, particularly for Acquisity, which needs clear diagnosis and corrective action
  • Build reporting rhythms so the Director of Finance is never caught off guard

What Success Looks Like

  • Ad accounts never pause because of cash flow
  • Payment infrastructure is fully transitioned and running without manual intervention
  • Every financial process has an SOP. Every SOP is being followed
  • The Director of Finance has more time to think because you handle the execution and oversight
  • Xero is clean, current, and trusted across all entities
  • Weekly reporting takes minutes to produce because the systems are built
  • Manual work is replaced by automated, tracked data , not spreadsheets, real systems
