Your Mission🚀👩🚀
As our Financial Controller, your mission is to keep Bud's financial engine running with precision while we scale internationally and raise our next round. You'll take the reins of an established, well-run finance function - owning everything from a clean monthly close to multi-jurisdiction compliance - and be the steady hand that lets the rest of the business move fast with confidence. This fixed-term opportunity offers broad exposure across the finance function, including supporting our international operations and upcoming fundraising activities, while working closely with our Fractional CFO and leadership team.
What impact you will make
- Own the monthly close end to end - journals, working papers, reconciliations and three-statement reporting - and keep our cash flow visibility sharp
- Run payroll review and commissions across our UK, US and Italian teams, and keep day-to-day finance ops humming: sales invoicing, ARR, supplier renewals, new client contract setup and expense management (Spendesk)
- Lead our regulatory and partner reporting (including NatWest and Bank of Lithuania) and tax compliance across the UK, US and Lithuania
- Support our fundraise hands-on - helping answer investor due diligence questions, keeping the process moving, and assisting on budgets and the raise model
- Be a key point of contact for our annual audit, and maintain our cap table, master options file and share option calculations
