Finance Director

The opportunity

Our client is an international B2B sportsbook product business operating across multiple countries and legal entities. Its finance function supports a group spanning several jurisdictions, currencies, tax regimes and reporting calendars while the commercial side of the business continues to move quickly.

This is a hands-on leadership role with end-to-end ownership of the day-to-day finance function and the team that delivers it. You will remain close to the ledger, the numbers and the CFO: reviewing consolidation, working directly with auditors and stepping into the detail when a close is tight.

The opportunity will suit someone who wants full ownership of a multi-entity finance operation and is comfortable strengthening structure, controls and capability as the business grows. It is not a role for somebody looking to lead purely through others.

What you'll own

The finance team: lead, structure and develop colleagues across locations; set priorities around the close calendar; review output; manage performance and capability; and hire as the group grows.

Group accounting: own month-end and year-end close across all entities, consolidation, intercompany reconciliation, eliminations and the integrity of the group ledger.

Statutory reporting and audit: coordinate local statutory accounts, external auditors and accounting providers, maintaining clean and defensible audit files.

Regulatory liaison: act as the company's finance point of contact with relevant regulatory authorities and manage the ongoing relationship with them.

Tax and compliance: oversee corporate tax, VAT, transfer-pricing documentation, intercompany agreements, withholding tax and coordination with advisers in each market.

Treasury and cash: manage cash-flow forecasting, multi-currency banking, FX exposure, payment runs and working capital.

Management reporting: produce monthly management accounts, variance analysis and the reporting pack for the CFO and executive team.

Budgeting and forecasting: lead the annual budget, rolling reforecasts and departmental cost tracking against plan.

Accounts receivable and payable: oversee client invoicing, including revenue-share and hybrid commercial models, collections, supplier payments and the controls around both.

Controls and process: own finance policies, close gaps created by rapid growth and improve systems and processes.

Business partnering: work with Legal, HR and Commercial on entity structure, contracts, payroll inputs and commercial deal modelling.

What we're looking for

- Substantial hands-on accounting experience in a multi-entity, multi-country group, including personally running consolidation, intercompany and cross-border reporting.
- Full-cycle exposure across close, statutory reporting, tax, treasury, accounts receivable and payable, and management reporting.
- Experience in a B2B business with contracted clients and commercial models such as revenue share, licence and integration fees, and milestone billing.
- Proven experience managing a finance team, including hiring, developing and holding people accountable across locations and time zones.
- The judgement and resilience to operate where structure is still being built and to fix processes that are not yet clean.
- A professional qualification such as ACCA, ACA, CPA or CIMA, a local equivalent, or equivalent depth of practical experience.
- Fluent written and spoken English.
- The willingness and ability to relocate to Sofia and work from the office full-time. This is a firm requirement.

Particularly relevant experience

- Experience within iGaming or sportsbook on the supplier or B2B side, including operator invoicing, regulated-market requirements and licensing obligations.
- Experience implementing or upgrading an ERP or accounting system.
- Experience supporting audit, due diligence or a transaction process.
- Experience automating finance processes.

Why this role stands out

- Take genuine end-to-end ownership of an international, multi-entity finance operation.
- Work closely with the CFO and executive team while remaining empowered to improve the detail.
- Build the team, controls and systems required for the next stage of the business.
- Gain broad exposure across accounting, treasury, tax, regulation, commercial models and business partnering.
- Join a fast-moving, technology-led B2B sportsbook business with international reach.
