Head of Finance Department

About the Company

We are a rapidly scaling e-commerce company operating in the physical goods sector, handling large volumes of financial transactions.

We are looking for a Head of Finance who will take full ownership of the company’s financial processes, systematize accounting, build a transparent cash flow management system, and ensure the financial stability of the business.

This role is for someone who does more than just monitor numbers — someone who understands the economics of a product-based business and knows how to build an effective financial system.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the Finance Department: allocate tasks, establish procedures and regulations, and monitor their execution.
• Maintain and oversee the payment calendar.
• Plan Cash Flow and proactively identify potential cash flow gaps.
• Monitor daily cash balances across bank accounts, sole proprietor accounts, cash registers, and digital wallets.
• Ensure that accounting records match actual cash balances.
• Monitor accounts receivable and accounts payable.
• Prepare management reports, including Cash Flow, plan vs. actual analysis, and cash flow forecasts.
• Analyze expenses and optimize fees, currency conversions, and transfers.
• Negotiate with banks, payment service providers, and currency exchange services to improve financial terms.
• Systematize and automate financial processes and regular reconciliations.
• Identify financial risks and develop solutions to minimize them.
• Contribute to the development and scaling of the company’s financial infrastructure.

Requirements

We are looking for a finance professional with hands-on management experience who:

• Has at least 2 years of experience managing a Finance Department or Treasury function.
• Has experience working in product-based e-commerce.
• Has a strong understanding of cash flows in a product-based business: procurement → inventory → sales → delivery → cash on delivery.
• Is experienced in working with payment calendars and Cash Flow management.
• Understands key metrics such as inventory turnover and tied-up capital.
• Is highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with large volumes of financial data.
• Has strong negotiation skills.
• Is able to make independent decisions and take full ownership of results.

• Financial modeling

Experience working with the following will be important:

A strong advantage: experience building and automating financial accounting and reporting processes from scratch.
