Financial Controller

Location: Wrocław, Poland (Hybrid/On-site)
 

 

As DataWalk accelerates its global growth, we are expanding our core finance team and seeking a dynamic Financial Controller to step in as the CFO’s operational co-pilot. This is a highly impactful role where robust Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and strategic business partnering meet hands-on execution. You will do far more than just oversee the numbers; you will drive the financial engine of a high-growth tech company.

Navigating the strict reporting regime of a publicly listed company, you will provide high-level strategic oversight to our top-tier BPO partner in Poland while taking a "roll-up-your-sleeves" approach to our internal US accounting. By owning the day-to-day financial workflows, consolidation process, and business forecasting, you will directly offload critical operations from the CFO. Ultimately, you will partner together to architect the long-term strategy for scaling DataWalk’s global finance function.

                                                               Financial Controller

Key Responsibilities:

BPO Coordination & Quality Control (Poland HQ)

  • Act as the primary liaison and operational lead for DataWalk S.A.’s top-tier BPO accounting provider.
  • Provide clear accounting guidelines, ensure strict quality control, and monitor SLAs to ensure accurate, timely financial data.
  • Review and validate the BPO outputs to ensure compliance with IFRS.

Hands-on Accounting & Consolidation (US Subsidiary)

  • Take direct, hands-on ownership of the accounting processes for DataWalk Inc. (US), managing the books internally.
  • Perform monthly closing activities for the US entity and seamlessly consolidate financial statements across both the Polish and US operations.

Financial Reporting & WSE Compliance

  • Lead the preparation of standalone and consolidated financial statements (quarterly, half-yearly, and annual) for the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE/GPW).
  • Ensure strict adherence to WSE regulatory reporting deadlines and requirements.
  • Prepare management reporting packages and Board of Directors materials, translating complex data into clear business insights.

Global Finance Strategy & Scaling

  • Partner closely with the CFO to assess the current financial infrastructure and build a roadmap for scaling global finance operations.
  • Evaluate the long-term operational model (e.g., expanding internal capabilities vs. leveraging outsourced partners for US and global operations).
  • Drive continuous process improvements to increase efficiency and data accuracy as the company grows.

Collaborative Team Execution

  • Work collaboratively within a lean, agile core finance team. While this role operates as an independent contributor initially (without direct reports), you will partner closely with the CFO and peer finance associates.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and tax advisors, ensuring smooth and efficient audit cycles without requiring deep CFO involvement.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • 5+ years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or audit. Experience within a public company (WSE) environment is highly preferred.
  • Proven ability to pivot between high-level vendor management (BPO oversight) and granular, hands-on accounting tasks.
  • Strong working knowledge of IFRS,
  • Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics. Professional qualifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or KIBR are highly desirable.
  • Fluent in Polish and excellent, business-level English (essential for managing US operations).
  • A proactive, autonomous problem-solver with a strong team-player ethos. You excel in a fast-paced environment and are excited by the challenge of building scalable processes from the ground up.

We offer:

  • Direct impact on the global expansion of the fast growing investigative analytics company with global ambitions.
  • A competitive salary and an attractive package of benefits (private healthcare, life insurance, multisport cards, training).
  • Growth opportunities in a dedicated and passionate team of professionals.
  • A challenging and inspiring environment.
  • Work remotely in a flexible, independent work environment.
