International Financial Controller

The Opportunity

As the International Financial Controller, you will be the senior-most member of the Sitetracker International Finance team that is responsible for end-to-end ownership of accounting operations, statutory compliance, payroll coordination, and financial reporting across seven key international entities (UK, Spain, Germany, Luxembourg, Singapore, Australia, and India). 

Reporting directly to the CFO, you won't just oversee timelines and responsibilities that are tethered to the current way of doing things—you will serve as a strategic leader redefining current processes that require modernization of manual repeatable workflows into streamlined and automated workflows that will subsequently allow the team to spend more time on providing insights to and driving tangible value for the business including optimizing foreign currency, transfer pricing, A/P management, and financial reporting, as well as scaling our global presence. 

This is a unique career-defining opportunity with freedom to re-build and modernize our international financial controllership organization and partner with the broader US Finance team to create a global foundation focused on providing strategic insights and driving real enterprise value and not just closing the books for a globally scaling organization.

What You'll Do

You will lead the International Finance team responsible for end-to-end close and consolidation cycle across all seven international legal entities, driving a clean, sub-10-day accounting close that is free of material weaknesses or recurring gaps. Partnering closely with the CFO and US Controller, you will serve as a credible, trusted voice to local board members, external audit committees, and executive stakeholders while bridging international accounting standards with US GAAP consolidation.

Beyond monthly reporting, you will take complete ownership of regional compliance, steering our full slate of statutory audits, local tax filings (VAT/GST, Corporate Income Tax), payroll and transfer pricing arrangements across multiple jurisdictions. Ownership is defined as not simply taking over existing processes - the expectation is a full evaluation and subsequent modernization of our global accounting processes, with a key initial initiative focused on overhauling and re-tooling our current monthly close and Accounts Payable workflows into an automated, scalable procure-to-pay tech stack.

As an empowering people leader, you will directly manage and mentor a distributed team of 2 current direct reports in London and India, re-invigorating currently manual journal entry and reconciliation workflows while instilling a culture of continuous operational improvement. As Sitetracker continues to expand globally, you will act as the finance lead standing up new international legal entities, establishing local banking relationships, and embedding robust internal control environments from day one. You will be comfortable turning ambiguous situations, like a new market or an unclear local requirement, into a workable plan without waiting to be told exactly what to do. 

You'll bring a documentation-first mindset to everything you own. That means turning recurring processes (close, payroll etc.) into clear, concise workflows and reporting that your team can execute without friction, and that leadership can review and sign off on quickly. With seven entities and multiple regulatory and payroll calendars running at once, exceptional organization isn't a nice-to-have. It's how you keep nothing from falling through the cracks.
