    Finance Manager

    Description

    Stitch is a developer-first API startup with a mission to deeply connect financial systems with the wider world. We provide an API which allows third-party apps and websites to interact with their user's bank accounts in ways that unlocks the ability for companies across Africa to build innovative technology products quickly.

    Creating innovative financial products is incredibly difficult today, and we believe that unlocking the way people interact with their finances starts with enabling developers with the tools and infrastructure needed to execute on their vision.

    We're looking to hire an experienced Finance Manager to accelerate our growth. The ideal candidate will crave working in a fast-paced environment, and operate as a systems-level thinker to lay the groundwork for (and eventually build) a professionalized finance function.

    At the outset, this individual will primarily function as an individual contributor (IC) working with our out-of-house accountants to manage our day-to-day finances and enable best-practice accounting in each of our various revenue markets. It is the expectation, however, that this individual will have the opportunity to grow out a team of analysts and financial accountants to support the function as the business scales.

     

    Responsibilities

    • With the Chief Operating Officer, lead the day-to-day financial operations within the company (including payroll, accounts management, invoicing, and other transactions)

    • Build out prototypes of Accounts, Treasury Management, Strategic Finance / Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) functions

    • Prepare monthly and quarterly management reporting, including recons and relevant forecasts

    • Partner with senior management in identifying and maintaining a budget and pro-forma forecast of business performance

    • Establish financial control mechanisms to enable adherence to the budget as the team scales

    • Manage the company's financial accounting, monitoring and reporting systems across its markets, including completion of annual statutory financial statements

    • Support fundraising documentation and/or diligence requirements when and as necessary

    • Ensure compliance with international accounting policies and regulatory requirements

    Requirements

    Requirements

    • Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting

    • Strong analytics toolkit, including fluency in GSheets / Excel and GSlides / Powerpoint to visualise financial outcomes

    • A track record of building or leading finance functions, including any of those mentioned above (Accounts, Treasury Management, Strategic Finance, FP&A)

    Advantageous

    • Experience working in a high-growth startup operating across multiple markets

    • Experience working in parent / group accounting structures

    • Interest in or prior experience with financial technology or software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses and their revenue / cost structures

    • Knowledge of specialised financial reporting and data mining tools such as SQL, Access, etc.
