Head of Financial Systems Transformation

Your impact will be visible across the firm including the most senior stakeholders. You'll define and own the roadmap end-to-end, from architecture decisions and change, to hands-on ERP configurations and design decisions, on to bespoke additions and refinements to all financial systems, while further embedding automation and AI into how financial systems and the Finance team operate at Taxfix. As part of this transformation you will lead a dedicated and highly motivated team.

This is in essence an architectural role where you are the finance team’s anchor co-evolving the a financial system total that meets growth in product complexity, R&D and infrastructure development, as well as strategic ambition. As such, the ability to sketch out a finance roadmap and implementation game-plan amidst such strategic context and growth ambition is key. This is paired with senior stakeholder management and delivering implementable projects with the day-to-day team.

The ideal candidate has a double spike amidst this context: historically a finance professional by training and with first-hand expertise across all core finance processes (order-to-cash, record-to-report, procure-to-pay), followed by years of hands-on finance systems work, automation and ERP experience blending more recently into AI, advanced analytics, business process workflows, and finance transformation projects. Your accounting literacy and sensitivity for audit-ready data and systems are matched by your technical depth.

the “other way round” works just as well: a data engineer or leader with a more technological background by training, historically, to meanwhile having transitioned into complex business and finance projects. As such, core finance processes including treasury and financial planning systems with reconciliation procedures are ingrained in your way of thinking and working, and by now you have been responsible for financial systems for years in your current role. You have been delivering results across financial system builds utilizing Precoro, Netsuite, Pigment, Chargebee and Abillify or similar, as well as driven wider best practices across accounting and treasury system transformations, all of which are complemented by more advanced developments of the last 2-3 years around AI workflows, vibe coding, business process and systems transformation put to work.

All of these render you a “builder” of the near future at Taxfix: a leader across topic and strategic dialogues for finance with company leadership internally and with strategic partners delivering financial technology to Taxfix externally.

Your responsibilities:

• Map the current finance systems landscape across all Taxfix countries, identify improvement areas, and design the target architecture - owning integration patterns, data flows, and system boundaries across the full stack
• Drive the transformation of core finance processes through AI & automation and integration of best-in-class tooling across our systems spanning revenue recognition, accounting, treasury, and billing - from vendor selection through to go-live
• Make AI-powered automation a first-order priority, identify the highest-leverage opportunities across the controllership, and build up integrated core workflows - all of it not as an afterthought
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI and finance technology to ensure we're always running the best systems available - and staying at the forefront of technology and efficiency
• Define and sequence the multi-year finance transformation roadmap, balancing strategic ambition with pragmatic delivery, resilience, scalability and cost effectiveness when driving system design decisions and strategy
• Build a systems architecture that meets institutional-grade standards: robust controls, clean audit trails, and access governance expected of a mature, regulated business while navigating resource allocation for finance systems, source of truth data model, reconciliation paths, API connectivities, all of which in an international setting
• Co-own the control layers across finance systems incl. month-end close, revenue recognition, and multiple KPIs across all core finance processes
• Act as the primary liaison between Finance, Engineering, Product, and external partners - translating finance requirements into technical reality
• Lead system oversight and control across finance systems and strategically govern and document key processes - in particular monthly closing and chargebacks
• Ensure our client solutions and ecosystem of products are continuously supported by a financial infrastructure that can be considered best in-class with built-in audit readiness

Your profile:

• 10+ years of relevant experience spanning finance operations and finance systems such as billing platforms or payments infrastructure, with deep ERP implementation and change expertise, and proven ownership of technological systems across high-stakes, time-sensitive change projects and workflow automation in multi-entity environments
• Proven experience integrating, migrating or upgrading ERP platforms with multiple vendors and strategic partners, e.g. with focus on subscription systems - you understand order-to-cash and revenue recognition at a system level, not just conceptually
• Track record owning AP/AR automation and treasury system implementations, including integration design
• Genuine fluency with AI in a finance context - you know how to separate hype from leverage and have built automation that stood the test of time
• Strong controllership knowledge across accounting close, consolidation, VAT, inter-company, and cash management
• Familiarity with governance and controls landscape, audit readiness and reporting standards of a scaled, institutionally mature organization
• Builder's instinct: you see fragility in a process and feel compelled to fix it - with systems, automation, or both
• Professional technical qualifications matter (CPA, ACCA, or equivalent standards in finance - or engineering); strong practical experience and demonstrated results delivery carry equal weight

Why this role?

• You'll own the full transformation arc - from assessing best-in-class against company requirements, designing and planning implementation projects and thereby continuously evolving finance in an AI-driven world where automation handles the repetitive work and every core process runs on best-in-class tooling. If that's the kind of work that gets you out of bed, let's talk.
