Overview

ScaleUp is looking for a senior finance leader to build the financial reporting foundation for the company's next stage of growth and capital-markets readiness. This is a high-impact role for an experienced ex-auditor or technical accounting leader who wants to move from advising on capital market readiness to owning it inside a fast-scaling fintech business.

The mandate goes beyond producing historical numbers. You will help shape the reporting perimeter, prepare the historical pro forma carve-out, resolve complex revenue-recognition issues, strengthen audit readiness, and build the finance architecture required for future fundraising, external audit, and potential public market execution.

What you will own

1. Lead ScaleUp's IPO readiness across financial reporting, carve-out preparation, and audit support.
2. Own the historical pro forma carve-out and basis of preparation.
3. Resolve key accounting judgments across financial-services revenue recognition, variable fees, white-label economics, and contract-driven income.
4. Present and defend ScaleUp's revenue-recognition framework to auditors, investors, and advisers
5. Prepare clear technical papers, contract analysis, reconciliations, and audit-ready support.
6. Build support packs future auditors and reporting accountants can rely on.
7. Upgrade finance from project-based reporting to an institutional, repeatable reporting environment.
8. Partner with management, legal, and external advisers on structure, reporting perimeter, and capital-markets readiness.
9. Help design the controls, documentation standards, and reporting discipline required for a public-company trajectory.

Ideal profile

• 15+ years in big-4 audit, accounting advisory, transaction services, or financial reporting.

• Strong experience in fintech, financial services, payments, treasury, wealthtech, or asset-management-related models.

• Strong technical accounting and revenue-recognition judgment.

• Experience with carve-outs, complex reporting projects, or finance transformation assignments.

• Confident working with senior management, advisers, and external reviewers.

• Commercially minded, hands-on, and comfortable building in a fast-growth environment.
