Senior Finance Analyst — The Flex

Overview

This role supports a fast-growing, international business that operates and manages flexible accommodation properties across multiple cities and countries. The organization is seeking a Senior Finance Analyst to help build and own key financial infrastructure and reporting processes.

This is not a traditional accounting-only position. You will work closely with founders and senior leadership, take ownership of critical financial processes, analyze performance across the business, and help improve profitability as the business scales.

• Reconcile payments from Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, direct bookings, and other distribution channels, ensuring expected payments are received accurately and on time.
• Reconcile bank accounts and incoming payments, ensuring expected funds are received, accurately recorded, and discrepancies are promptly resolved.
• Track accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR).
• Review supplier invoices and company expenses.
• Manage statutory filings and corporate compliance across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring submissions are accurate and completed on time.
• Coordinate with external accountants, tax advisers, auditors, and banking partners to ensure accurate records and timely compliance.
• Support landlord and property-owner financial statements as required.
• Build dashboards and reporting systems to provide management with real-time visibility into performance.
• Analyze financial performance by property, city, country, and business unit.
• Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and financial models.
• Monitor cash flow and help plan future capital requirements.
• Identify financial risks and potential revenue leakage.
• Analyze costs and identify opportunities to improve margins.
• Partner with operations teams to understand and reduce property-level costs.
• Support financial due diligence for acquisitions, investments, and new market launches.
• Present insights and recommendations directly to founders and the management team.

Requirements

• Highly analytical with strong comfort working with numbers.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
• Strong understanding of accounting and financial principles.
• Comfortable working with large volumes of financial and operational data.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Strong reconciliation, financial control, and problem-solving skills.
• Commercial mindset—able to explain what the numbers mean for the business.
• High level of ownership and accountability.
• Comfortable working independently and figuring things out.
• Able to operate in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable communicating directly with senior management.
• Passion for technology, automation, and AI, including identifying opportunities to improve and automate finance processes.
• Ambitious and looking to take on significantly more responsibility over time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in accounting, audit, investment banking, private equity, FP&A, consulting, hospitality, real estate, or a high-growth startup.
• A degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Mathematics, or a related analytical field (exceptional candidates from other backgrounds are encouraged to apply).

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.

Location

• Multi-city and multi-country operations across multiple jurisdictions (exact work location not specified in the description).

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Built a strong understanding of the financial performance of every part of the business.
• Created reliable monthly management reporting across the organization.

You Should Not Apply If

• You are looking for a corporate 9-to-5 job with narrowly defined responsibilities.
• You need someone to constantly tell you what to do.
• You are uncomfortable being held accountable for your work.
• You prefer reporting numbers rather than understanding and improving them.
• You are political or enjoy gossiping or talking about people behind their backs.
• You are looking for a stable, slow-moving, dead-end job.
• You do not aim to become one of the best in the world at what you do.
