Finance Director

This confidential search is managed by iGamingCareers for an international B2B sportsbook technology business operating across multiple countries, entities, jurisdictions, currencies and reporting environments. Further details will be shared with suitable candidates during the recruitment process.
The business is seeking a hands-on Finance Director to lead its finance function and work closely with the CFO.

The opportunity
You will take ownership of finance operations across a complex international group.
The role covers group accounting, financial close, consolidation, intercompany activity, statutory reporting, audit, tax, treasury, management reporting, planning and commercial finance.
You will work across multiple legal entities and coordinate internal team members alongside external accounting and payroll providers.

* Improve internal controls, approval structures and finance operating procedures.
