ABOUT THE ROLE
Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a European deep-tech company building a sovereign, energy-efficient cloud platform for modern AI and high-performance workloads. The company operates a distributed, highly automated infrastructure and is scaling rapidly across a multi-entity, international footprint.
As part of this growth, building an AI-native finance organization is a strategic priority.
We are seeking a Group Financial Controller to own and scale group accounting, consolidation, reporting, and controls across multiple legal entities. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a senior, hands‑on leadership role for a finance professional capable of structuring, automating, and modernizing accounting operations in a deep-tech environment.
Strong, proven experience leveraging AI in accounting workflows is mandatory.
This role is not about maintaining legacy processes,
but about designing and operating an AI-first accounting function.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual group close and consolidation processes across all entities.
- Deliver accurate management accounts, as well as board and investor reporting.
- Ensure IFRS and local GAAP compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
- Define, document, and enforce group accounting policies and internal controls.
- Lead, optimize, and scale the NetSuite ERP across the group (NetSuite experience is mandatory).
- Drive automation and AI adoption in accounting operations, including reconciliations, anomaly detection, journal automation, and close acceleration.
- Manage audits, statutory filings, intercompany accounting, and transfer pricing processes.
- Partner closely with the CFO on strategic initiatives, scaling efforts, and financial governance.
- Build robust, scalable accounting infrastructure suited to a high-growth, deep-tech org
