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.

Collaborative Team Execution
