StashAway is a high-growth tech company backed by some of the best VCs including Sequoia, Square Peg and Eight Roads. With offices in 5 countries, and live, regulated operations in 5 jurisdictions, we have put a lot of emphasis in building scalable processes to manage our finances since Day 1.

We’re looking for a Finance Manager to join our team and manage all aspects of finance management, reporting to our Co-Founder and CEO. From budgeting to treasury management, from financial reporting to audit, the Finance Manager will be the CEO’s right hand person to all financial topics.

Not only should you have perfect command of all financial topics, you should also be an Excel wizard, able to build complex financial models and business plans. You’ll have to manage multiple projects at once with accuracy, and have incredibly strong attention to detail (a wrong number could make us lose our license, no pressure!). To succeed you will need to have the drive and motivation to contribute to a fast-growing tech company.
