Job Description:

Our client, a fast-growing fintech company, is hiring an Accounting & Financial Reporting Lead. You'll work alongside a Treasury Manager and a team of accountants, owning the numbers behind a fast-growing, multi-entity, multi-licence fintech — from statutory close to the regulatory financial reporting that keeps MiCA and PSD2 licences in good standing. You’ll join a finance team, reporting to the Head of Finance.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own monthly/quarterly close and multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation across group entities (Latvia primary, plus US/Canada/Poland)
  • Prepare statutory financial statements per jurisdiction and coordinate annual audits with external auditors
  • Manage outsourced accounting providers and maintain the general ledger/chart of accounts per IFRS
  • Prepare and submit regulatory returns to Latvijas Banka (MiCA/PSD2 prudential reporting, own-funds calculations) and support FinCEN/FINTRAC/VASP recordkeeping requirements
  • Own safeguarding/client-money reconciliation for PI and (pipeline) EMI obligations
  • Build the reporting framework ahead of UK FCA regulatory obligations
  • Own crypto-asset accounting: fair-value measurement, custody and wallet-to-ledger reconciliation across 90+ assets
  • Reconcile settlements (card-processor, SEPA/SWIFT, correspondent banking) and B2B partner revenue-share/fee calculations
  • Own AP/AR, expense management, and vendor payments
  • Design internal financial controls for a regulated fintech and support treasury (cash positioning, bank/exchange reconciliation)
  • Partner with Compliance and Legal on capital adequacy, safeguarding, and audit-readiness.

What We Expect

Must-have:

  • A degree in finance and 5+ years of proven accounting experience; ACCA/CPA is an advantage
  • Crypto accounting experience gained at a VASP/CASP-licensed entity or a trading company
  • Multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation experience across at least 3–5 jurisdictions
  • Regulatory financial reporting experience (PI/EMI/CASP prudential returns)
  • Fluent in English.

Nice-to-have:

  • E-money / EMI safeguarding accounting experience specifically
  • Crypto custody / wallet reconciliation tooling experience
  • Big 4 or top audit-firm background with fintech/crypto clients
  • ERP / accounting systems implementation experience (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, or crypto-native tools)
  • Experience preparing for FCA prudential reporting.

What's in it for you:

  • A rare opportunity: Own the full regulatory financial reporting function for a multi-entity, multi-licence fintech — keeping MiCA and PSD2 in good standing today, while building the EMI & FCA reporting framework from scratch ahead of the company's next licences. Real end-to-end ownership across jurisdictions, not a narrow ledger role.
  • Salary: up to €4,200 gross/month, performance-based bonus
  • Medical insurance, L&D budget, English classes, regular team-building activities
  • A fast-paced, self-funded fintech company with no investor-driven pressure.
