Group Controller, Director
About this role
SE Ranking is a profitable, growing B2B SaaS business - around 200 people, remote-first and globally distributed. As the business has scaled into a more complex multi-entity, multi-currency structure, we're hiring a senior controllership leader to own the integrity, accuracy, and audit-readiness of our books. This is a hands-on, build-oriented role for someone who takes real pride in well-controlled, audit-grade financials - and who wants to mature the accounting function as the company's structure and ambitions grow.
You'll own the accounting backbone: multi-entity consolidation, internal controls, compliance, and the path to a clean external audit. You'll report to the CFO and work closely with the wider leadership team. If you're energised by raising the bar on how a scaling, multi-entity business runs its numbers, in a fast-moving, low-ego, global team, this is your role.

Design and oversee the ERP migration. Lead the design of the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite (or equivalent) migration as the backbone of a more mature, audit-grade finance infrastructure, partnering with the accounting team and NetSuite consultants on execution.
Build the control environment. Establish the accounting policies, internal controls, and process documentation a scaling, internationally distributed business needs.
