Requirements

• Own accounting operations (AP, AR, cash, general ledger)
• Maintain clean, reliable and accurate financial statements

• Support and partner with tax and treasury related projects and filings
• Lead month-end close in a way that is disciplined and practical
• Ensure compliance and reporting requirements are met
• Design processes, controls, and workflows that fit a growing, evolving school—without reinventing what already works
• Spot gaps early and put simple, effective structure in place while aligning with broader systems and standards
• Navigate between what should be built locally (U.S.-specific needs) and where to leverage the parent company’s infrastructure and support
• Establish financial rhythms (close, reporting, visibility) that are consistent, scalable, and connected across both organizations
• Partner with leadership to make financials usable—not just accurate
• Support budgeting and forecasting as the Academy grows
• Bring strong accounting experience with the ability to think beyond the transaction level
• Someone the team goes to—not because they have to, but because it’s helpful
