About TAINA
TAINA is a leading RegTech SaaS provider helping global financial institutions automate tax documentation, withholding tax compliance, and investor onboarding processes. Our clients include many of the world's largest asset managers, banks, and financial institutions. As we continue to scale, we are seeking an experienced Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFOO) to join our Executive Leadership Team.
This role is designed for a seasoned CFO who has expanded beyond the traditional finance remit into broader operational responsibility and ownership, governance, commercial management, and organizational scaling. The successful candidate will act as the CEO's principal internal business partner, taking ownership of the company's financial performance, operational effectiveness, governance framework, and risk management, allowing the CEO to focus on customers, investors, strategic partnerships, and market growth.
The Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a growing SaaS business.

Operating as the CEO's trusted partner, you will be responsible for the successful running of all internal business functions, providing strategic ownership across finance, operations, governance, and business performance. This is a hands-on role focused on direct ownership and delivery, not delegation from a distance.

Why This Role Matters
The CFOO serves as the CEO's principal internal business partner. While the CEO focuses on customers, investors, strategic relationships, and growth opportunities, the CFOO is accountable for ensuring the business operates effectively from the inside out, balancing financial discipline, operational excellence, governance, commercial decision-making, and risk management. This role is ideally suited to an experienced CFO who enjoys building, scaling, and taking ownership of businesses beyond finance, and who wants to play a central role in shaping the future direction of a growing technology company.
