Cash Flow | Financial Operations | Budget Control | Crypto | Remote

About the Role

Our client is a fast-growing global company operating in the forex education and trading space, serving customers across multiple markets through trading services, signals, algorithms, courses, and a paid community.

We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take ownership of the company's cash flow, financial operations, and day-to-day financial control during an important period of growth.

This is a hands-on finance role. You will work closely with the founders to maintain clear visibility over the company's cash position, monitor expenses and payments, manage budgets, track commissions, and identify financial risks or opportunities.

The ideal candidate is not someone who simply reports numbers. We want someone who can look at the numbers, understand what they mean, challenge assumptions, identify issues, and proactively recommend improvements.

Because the business operates in a crypto environment, you should also be comfortable working with crypto-related transactions, balances, and financial activity.
