Finance Associate Job at Topsort (São Paulo)

Job Description

In our Sao Paulo office we are looking for a sharp, high-growth Finance Associate to help anchor and scale our operations across Latin America. This is not a traditional back-office role; you will be at the intersection of accounting, corporate strategy, and international expansion. You will support the design of our financial infrastructure, ensuring that our LATAM operations are not just compliant, but optimized for speed and scale. As we grow, you will evolve from managing external partners to owning internal processes, moving from 'keeping the books' to 'driving the business.' This role is for someone who wants to master the complexity of multi country finance and step into senior responsibilities as the company scales.

Strategic Financial Planning: Support the evaluation of business needs to ensure our financial systems and organization scale alongside our growth
Budgeting & Financial Analysis: Maintain budgeting tools, provide variance reporting, and conduct cash flow analysis to support data-driven decision-making

Revenue & Expense Ownership: Manage the full accounts receivable and payable cycle, ensuring timely invoicing and vendor management across the region
Audit & Internal Controls: Maintain the internal controls necessary for a smooth audit process and high-standard financial integrity
Payroll & People Ops: Collaborate with People Operations to ensure accuracy in regional payroll, labor budgeting, and banking runs
Subsidiary Management: Coordinate with legal, tax, and banking partners to manage local subsidiaries across LATAM (Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico)
Cross-Border Operations: Enable compliant invoicing and fund flows across multiple jurisdictions, navigating the complexities of different currencies
System Optimization: Act as a power user of NetSuite (ERP), optimizing workflows and preparing the transition from outsourced models to internalized processes
Treasury & FX Management: Monitor multi-currency operations to manage FX risk and ensure liquidity across all markets
provide hands on treasury experience to optimize capital across the region
Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as a key finance contact for Sales, Product, and Legal teams to help remove operational friction in each country
Regional Reporting: Support complex regional financial reporting and provide documentation for investor communications, accounting for regionalization nuances
