## 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

## Skills

### Required
- 5+ years in a finance operations, treasury, or senior finance execution role
- Experience leading or overseeing finance operations teams, external partners, or cross-functional processes
- Direct hands-on experience managing high-volume, multi-currency cash flows (USD, GBP, AED)
- Proven track record building and implementing SOPs in finance operations
- Experience managing external bookkeeping or accounting firms and holding them to a standard
- Strong working knowledge of Xero, Wise, Whop, and corporate card platforms (Pleo, Qashio or similar)

### Nice to have
- Experience with UAE corporate structures, specifically DMCC entities
- Background in performance marketing businesses with high daily ad spend
- Experience managing entity wind-downs or cross-border entity restructuring
- Familiarity with Series A / early-scale finance environments — you know how to bring structure without bureaucracy
