About the Position

We are seeking a high-performing Senior Accountant to join our finance team at Gelato. This role is the "engine room" of our financial operations, responsible for the end-to-end accounting lifecycle. You will operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy, independently managing accounting responsibilities across a fast-paced international business. You will leverage AI and automation to streamline core processes, ensuring total accuracy in our financial data while maintaining robust regulatory compliance.

• Treasury & Cash Management: Monitor daily cash positions, manage liquidity, and optimize payment timing to maintain healthy working capital across our global jurisdictions.
• Tax & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure strict adherence to local and international regulations (VAT/GST/Sales Tax); manage tax filings, statutory reporting, support multi-entity compliance requirements, and serve as a key point of contact for external audits.
• Automation & AI Integration: Identify and execute opportunities to automate manual accounting tasks using AI tools (e.g., Gemini, Python, n8n, or similar) to increase efficiency and data quality.
• Process Excellence: Maintain and refine the internal control environment for payments and financial data, ensuring all transactions meet corporate and legal standards.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience, ideally combining Big 4 (EY, Deloitte, KPMG, or PwC) audit/public accounting exposure and hands-on ownership of accounting operations within a multinational company, scale-up, or other complex corporate environment. Experience supporting accounting operations across multiple legal entities and jurisdictions is highly desirable.
• Education: Qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CPA, CIMA, CMA, or equivalent), or an experienced professional with deep expertise in accounting processes.
• Technical Skills: Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and data analysis; experience using NetSuite ERP or similar financial systems is highly preferred.
• AI & Automation: Proficiency or strong interest in AI and automation tools and technologies (such as Gemini, Cursor, Python, n8n, or similar). You do not need to be a software engineer, but you should be excited to use technology to improve accounting workflows and operational efficiency.
• Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and communicate complex information clearly.

We Offer

• Hybrid Work Environment: Flexibility to work from our inspiring office spaces at least three days a week.
