Job Description

Roles and responsibilities of this job

Sterling Wells Nepal is the operational and technology hub of a UK-based group of chartered accountancy firms and fintech companies, UK Property Accountants, Sterling & Wells, Crane & Partners, FigsFlow, RentalBux, Taxule, and PropertySPV. We support thousands of clients across 50+ countries, oversee accounting for over $8B in assets, and run an expanding portfolio of SaaS and fintech products from Kathmandu.

We are a tech-first professional services group. Our Nepal office is not a back-office, it is the engineering, product, and finance nerve centre of the group. We are growing fast and need a finance leader who can match that pace.

The role

This is not a reporting role. This is the person who runs the complete financial and operational engine of the group, independently.

You will report directly to the CEO and own everything: statutory compliance, management reporting, treasury, intercompany structures, team leadership, and every financial control and process that keeps a multi-jurisdiction, multi-currency group running cleanly.

A Finance Controller can be hired beneath you as the team scales. Your job is to lead and build, not to execute alone.

What you will own

Financial strategy & CEO partnership

Act as the primary financial counterpart to the CEO, proactively flagging risks, opportunities, and decisions that need strategic input.
Lead annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, and scenario modelling across all group entities and product lines.
Build and own the financial infrastructure needed for future VC or institutional fundraising, including investor-grade reporting and data room preparation.
Track unit economics, margins, and revenue recognition across SaaS products (FigsFlow, RentalBux, PropertySPV) distinctly from advisory revenue.

Multi-entity financial management & reporting

Own consolidated monthly management accounts across group entities in the UK, Nepal, India, and the US, accurate, timely, and produced without prompting.
Produce financial KPIs and dashboards that give leadership real visibility into business performance, not just compliance outputs.
Always maintain audit-ready books across all entities.
Ensure financial reporting meets international standards and investor expectations.

Treasury & cash management

Full ownership of group cash flow planning and management across GBP, NPR, INR, and USD.
Manage working capital, liquidity positions, and multi-currency foreign exchange risk.
Optimise interbank transfers and fund movements across jurisdictions efficiently and cost-effectively.

Compliance, tax & statutory filings

Take complete ownership of all statutory filings, annual audits, and tax obligations across the UK, Nepal, India, and the US.
Coordinate external auditors and tax advisers in each jurisdiction.
Full command of Nepal tax requirements: TDS, VAT, corporate tax, IRD compliance, and all local statutory obligations.
Maintain compliance with transfer pricing regulations and document intercompany arrangements robustly.

Technology, systems & process

Own the finance systems stack, Xero, QuickBooks, or equivalent, and drive continuous improvement in automation and reporting efficiency.
Champion the use of AI-powered tools and financial technology to reduce manual work and improve insight quality.
Build scalable financial processes and controls appropriate for a fast-growing multi-jurisdiction group.
Evaluate and implement BI tools (Power BI, Metabase, or equivalent) to give leadership real-time financial visibility.

Team & operations leadership

Lead, develop, and grow the internal finance and operations team.
Design the team structure needed to scale
Establish approval workflows, financial controls, and risk management frameworks

Other Specification

What we need

Non-negotiable

Qualified, CA (ICAN or ICAI), ACCA, CPA, or equivalent. Essential.
8+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3–4 years in a senior leadership role carrying genuine, independent ownership.
Proven track record running multi-entity finance, not just supporting it, including consolidation, statutory compliance, and management reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
Strong management accounting capability: producing accounts that drive decisions, not just satisfy compliance requirements.
Hands-on experience managing cash flow and treasury across multiple currencies.
Solid working knowledge of transfer pricing principles and intercompany financial structures.
Strong financial modelling capability
Excellent written and spoken English, able to present financial information clearly to the CEO, board, and institutional investors.
Demonstrated ability to operate independently: making decisions, managing external advisers, and running the finance function without routine escalation to senior leadership.

Strongly preferred

Experience in a tech, SaaS, fintech, or software product business, understanding product P&Ls, SaaS metrics, and software revenue recognition.
Experience preparing financial reporting for VC or institutional investors.
Familiarity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or UK GAAP.
Experience with BI or financial dashboard tools: Power BI, Metabase, Tableau, or equivalent.
Active interest in and comfort using AI-powered tools in finance workflows.

Why this role is different

You are positioned as the natural successor to a future Group CFO
This is a tech-first business: you will work with modern tools, data, and systems, not legacy spreadsheet processes.

What we offer

Competitive package negotiated based on experience and qualifications. We will pay appropriately for the right person.
Direct reporting line to the CEO with visibility and influence across every part of the business.
International exposure: live, real work across UK, Nepal, India, and US jurisdictions.
At least one month of total working time each year dedicated to learning, training, and development.
Five-day working week, Saturday and Sunday off.
Daily office lunch, paid annual leave, and sick leave.
Accident and medical insurance coverage.
Strong company culture.
