Requirements

Deep technical accounting expertise, public company experience, and the judgement to build for scale: You have worked in or led accounting at a US-listed public company – you understand what SEC, PCAOB and SOX compliance looks like in practice
Strong US GAAP knowledge is non-negotiable
dual US GAAP and IFRS is ideal
Hands-on SOX compliance experience, including designing or owning a SOX programme
A track record of transforming accounting teams – automating, restructuring, raising the bar
Experience with compact, multi-entity accounting functions
familiarity with complex consolidation
AI fluency, with a genuine appetite for re-thinking how accounting works: AI has changed how you work, not just how fast
you see where it can replace manual processes, not just assist with them

Job Responsibility

Lead the accounting function and build a public-ready finance organisation: Own the end-to-end accounting organisation: controlling and reporting, accounting and tax, technical accounting and payroll

Reduce month-end close from day 8–10 to business day 5
Lead the transition to Coupa and a PO-first procurement model, going live September 2026
Build bench strength in US GAAP and SOX – currently one specialist in each area

Act as a strategic partner to the leadership team and accounting org: Help the Prague team answer difficult questions about where accounting is going and what their roles look like as the business scales
Manage upwards as well as downwards – influencing leadership behaviour is a real part of this job
Work cross-functionally
accounting silos are not what this business needs right now
