[Hiring] Finance Controller @Workana

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on Controller who can bring structure, accuracy, and clear accounting standards to our Finance practice. This is a team leader role with high exposure to our CFO. You will be the technical reference for accounting topics, ensuring our financials are accurate, consistent, and ready for external review. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building, organizing, and improving processes, without getting lost in bureaucracy.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in accounting, controlling, or audit roles.
• Strong command of the full accounting cycle, including reconciliations, adjustments, provisions, and intercompany.
• Experience preparing or supporting external audits (internal or Big4 is a plus).
• Solid knowledge of accounting principles (IFRS or US GAAP exposure preferred).
• Highly organized, rigorous, and able to build structure where processes are still maturing.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a remote, fast-moving environment.
• Ability to communicate technical topics clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and motivated by improving processes rather than maintaining the status quo.
• Experience in a startup or scale-up where you built finance processes, not only ran existing ones.
• Hands-on with more than one accounting system. You know how a consolidation works, not only how to run it in the ERP.

Requirements

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close process.
• Ensure accurate recording of revenue, expenses, accruals, provisions, intercompany transactions, and balance sheet accounts.
• Your numbers can pass an external audit with no issues.
• Support short-term cash forecasting and liquidity management.
• Monitor accounts receivable aging and support collection efforts.
• Monitor accounts payable and ensure appropriate payment planning.
• Identify working capital risks and opportunities.
• Coordinate with external accountants, tax advisors, auditors, payroll providers, legal advisors, and local accounting firms.
• Ensure timely completion of tax filings, statutory reporting, and other compliance requirements across jurisdictions.
• Maintain organized financial documentation and supporting records that stand up to audit and regulatory review.

Benefits

• The chance to build something meaningful: your work will directly influence how Workana scales into its next chapter.
• A role where your technical expertise truly matters, and where you can design the standards, processes, and structures that will support a fast-growing company.
• A Finance team that values rigor, ownership, and thoughtful decision-making, and a company that puts mission at the center of every action.
• A remote environment built on autonomy and trust, where your ideas are not only welcomed but expected.
• The opportunity to grow with Workana as we expand our impact across LATAM and beyond.
