Financial Controller

International iGaming Operations

About the Role

We are starting and scaling our international .com iGaming operations and are hiring our first dedicated finance lead. The Financial Controller will create the finance foundation: accurate accounting records, monthly reporting, practical controls, cash visibility, reconciliations and coordination with external accountants, auditors and advisors.

This is a hands-on role. In the early stage, the person will personally set up, review and improve the work, and cooperate with external service providers. As the business grows, the role will add a finance team.

Key Outcomes

• Reliable monthly close, clean accounting records and clear management reporting.
• Visibility over cash, bank balances, payment-provider balances, player balances and key working-capital items.
• Practical controls for approvals, spending, payments and reconciliations.

What You Will Own

1. Establish the finance basics

• Set up the chart of accounts, accounting policies, close checklist, approval flows and basic reporting templates.
• Keep finance processes documented, simple and repeatable so they can scale with the business.
• Work with the CFO to decide when extra hires, outsourced support or specialist advisors are needed.

2. Monthly accounts and reporting

• Own the monthly close and preparation of management accounts for the relevant entities.
• Explain revenue, costs, cash movement, working capital and balance-sheet items in clear commercial language.
• Coordinate statutory accounts, audit requests and year-end deliverables with external providers.

3. Reconciliations

• Connect finance records with the main operational sources: gaming platform/back-office reports, payment providers, banks, suppliers and affiliates.
• Set up regular reconciliations for revenue, player balances, deposits, withdrawals, payment-provider balances and bank accounts.
• Investigate differences and work with Payments, Operations, Product or suppliers to resolve issues.

4. Costs and commercial support

• Review supplier, platform, affiliate, marketing and payment-related invoices against contracts or agreed commercial terms.
• Make sure costs are recorded in the correct period and with enough detail for management decisions.
• Support the CFO and commercial teams with simple analysis on margins, campaigns, markets, products and key cost drivers.

5. Cash, banking and working capital

• Maintain regular visibility over cash, bank balances, payment-provider balances and short-term cash needs.
• Prepare a simple rolling cash forecast and highlight liquidity, currency or counterparty risks early.
• Work with the Head of Payments on finance matters connected to payment costs, reserves and settlement flows.

6. Tax, audit and advisor coordination

• Maintain a practical calendar for statutory, tax, audit and other finance-related deadlines relevant to the operating structure.
• Coordinate external accountants, auditors, tax advisors and company-service providers.
• Prepare finance schedules and accruals for taxes, duties, licence or service fees where applicable, with specialist advisor input.

7. Controls and cross-functional working

• Create practical controls for approvals, supplier onboarding, payments, journal entries, access rights and reconciliations.
• Support Compliance, Risk and Operations with finance data when required, while keeping ownership of those areas with the responsible teams.
• Train non-finance teams on purchase requests, supporting documents, budget discipline and clean handovers to finance.

Requirements

Must have

• Qualified accountant or equivalent senior finance experience; ACA, ACCA, CPA, ICPAC or similar is preferred.
• 6+ years of relevant finance/accounting experience, including hands-on month-end close, reporting and balance-sheet control.
• Experience in Operator-side iGaming, online betting/casino or gaming-platform finance exposure.
• Strong reconciliation mindset and ability to work with accounting data, operational reports, payment-provider data and bank statements.
• Experience with international/offshore structures and external advisors
• Exposure to crypto payment flows, crypto payment providers or wallet reconciliations is a strong advantage, particularly where crypto is used as a customer payment method.
• Advanced Excel, practical accounting-system experience, fluent English and a hands-on attitude.

Strong advantage

• Experience with payment-provider, bank, supplier or affiliate reconciliations.
