The role

As Finance Lead, you run finance for Venn Brazil: GAAP accounting, fiscal & legal compliance, plan treasury & negotiate debt funding, oversee the monthly close and lead the reporting to the group. You make sure Brazil's figures are reliable, delivered on time and in the group's format, and you are the finance partner of the Brazil CEO.

You report to the CEO of Venn Brazil, with a functional line to the Group CFO. You lead the local accounting team and manage the external accountants and advisers.

What we're looking for

• A dynamic and confident individual who can lead the accounting team and oversee finance processes autonomously.
• An experienced leader who can support and develop the local team and be the champion of group policies and processes locally.
• An analytical mindset that challenges numbers and runs a first-level analysis before submitting them to the Brazil CEO and the group.
• An ambitious character ready to take up challenges: this role may lead to a regional CFO position if successful in the role.

Your profile

• A degree in finance or accounting; Brazilian accounting registration (CRC) is an advantage.
• At least 7 years in finance or accounting, with hands-on experience of monthly closing, reconciliations and group reporting, ideally in a multinational. Profiles with a Big 4 accounting firm background will be considered favourably.
• Solid knowledge of Brazilian GAAP, tax and statutory requirements, and a working understanding of IFRS adjustments.
• Fluent and professional English, with the confidence to present to CEOs and the Group CFO.
• Advanced Excel, experience with an ERP, and curiosity about AI tools.
• Experience leading a small team and managing external advisers.
• Rigorous, hands-on and deadline-driven, with a habit of raising risks early and communicating proactively.
• A plus: experience in telecom, connectivity or recurring-revenue businesses, or in a group with several countries.

Key responsibilities

• Monthly review and reconciliations: oversee the review of journals (accruals, deferrals, provisions) and the reconciliation of every key balance sheet account, including intercompany balances, and challenge variances before figures leave Brazil.
• GAAP accounting and closing: ensure appropriate accounting practices and policies, coordinate with the AR/AP team and the external accountants, and oversee the monthly close within the group timelines.
• Compliance: make sure Venn Brazil meets its statutory, tax and labour obligations (filings, SPED, eSocial and other requirements as applicable), working with external accountants and advisers, and keep the records audit-ready.
• Treasury and funding: plan treasury and negotiate debt funding with banks and lenders.
• Monthly group reporting: produce the monthly pack: P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, with variances against budget and the previous month, commentary, and KPIs such as MRR, attrition and receivable days.
• Budget, cash and controls: contribute to the annual budget and forecasts, follow cash and receivables, and apply the group's internal controls.
• People: lead the local accounting team and the relationship with external advisers, and support the Brazil CEO with financial analysis for commercial decisions.
