They are looking for a Finance Manager to own the finance function end to end.

Accounting is outsourced, and a Finance Operations Administrator handles the daily flow of payments and documents. The Finance Manager will own everything above that: making sure the numbers are right, on time and that they clearly explain what's happening in the business to the founders and investors.
At its core, this is an FP&A role: cashflow, cohort economics, investor reporting, and decision support. At the same time, the role requires strong accounting rigor - this person will act as the quality gate for outsourced accountants and the second pair of eyes on every payment that leaves the company.
The Finance Manager will work directly with the founders. The numbers produced in this role will be used to drive pricing, hiring, and fundraising decisions.

What you will do

Reporting and analysis

• Own monthly investor reporting: P&L, cash position, KPIs, and commentary that explains the "why," not just the "what"
• Build and maintain the cashflow model: 13-week direct cashflow forecast plus a rolling 12-month view; flag runway risks early
• Build and own the internal management reporting system: metrics, structure, cadence
• Own unit economics: cohort analysis, CAC/LTV, payback, contribution margin by segment — and turn them into recommendations, not just dashboards
• Prepare ad-hoc analysis for fundraising, pricing, and hiring decisions

Month-end close and outsourced accounting

• Own the close calendar: drive the accounting provider to a reliable close by working day 5–7
• Review the provider's output critically: reconciliations, accruals, revenue recognition, intercompany, acting as the quality gate and catching errors before they become problems
• Maintain the management-accounting layer (chart of accounts mapping, cost centers) so management reports are consistent month over month
• Coordinate audits, tax filings, and compliance deadlines across jurisdictions with the provider

Payment control and treasury

• Approve contractor payment batches (~100 payments/month across a payment platform and direct bank transfers) prepared by the Finance Operations Administrator
• Enforce the control framework: maker–checker on all payments, founder co-approval above thresholds and for new payees, independent verification of bank-detail changes
• Manage bank accounts and payment-platform relationships across jurisdictions; optimize FX and payment costs
• Own the payment calendar and working-capital planning

Process and team

• Manage and develop the Finance Operations Administrator; own hiring for the finance team as it grows
• Systematise finance processes: document them, automate repetitive parts, and reduce founder involvement in routine finance to approvals only

Who You Are

• 4–10 years in finance, including 2+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or a Finance Manager role at a startup or fast-growing company
• 2+ years managing people or external specialists such as accountants, auditors, or consultants
• Have personally built cash flow models and unit economics / cohort analyses that were actually used for business decisions
• Strong accounting literacy: comfortable reading a general ledger, challenging an accrual, and explaining the difference between cash and accrual views to a non-finance audience
• Advanced spreadsheet modelling skills; experience with at least one BI or reporting tool
• Experience preparing investor reporting or supporting a fundraise
• Hands-on experience managing an outsourced accounting provider or internal accounting team
• Fluent in Russian and English

Not the right role if:

• Your background is purely audit/accounting and you have not built forward-looking models
• You prefer to do bookkeeping yourself rather than manage and verify a provider

The company offers:

• Market salary
• Performance-based bonuses tied to KPIs
• Office in Warsaw or remote
• 20 workdays/year paid vacation
