Finance Senior Manager  

About the Role

DataFlow Group is expanding fast in this region and is seeking a dynamic, hands-on Finance Senior Manager of experience and expertise to lead the business unit into the global DataFlow ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

1. Financial Control

• Accrual Transition: Lead the immediate transition from legacy cash-based accounting to full accrual accounting, specifically implementing the Service Completion Method (pfrs 15) for revenue recognition.
• Systems Overhaul: Upgrade and recast the current Management Information Systems to align with DataFlow Group’s institutional reporting standards.
• Working Capital & Cash Management: Establish rigorous corporate controls over bank mandates, treasury, and working capital, ensuring zero leakage and optimized cash flow.
• Earnout Management: Meticulously track and report on "Adjusted ebitda" and forensic add-backs to ensure the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement earnout mechanics are executed flawlessly.

2. Regulatory Compliance & Tax Strategy

• Cross-Border Tax & Transfer Pricing: Oversee withholding tax provisions (fwt/vat) for foreign vendor payments and ensure compliance with arm’s-length Transfer Pricing agreements
• Audit & Statutory Leadership: Serve as the primary liaison for our newly appointed "Big Four" external auditors, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Bureau of Internal Revenue, ensuring historical and future tax clearances are bulletproof.

3. Commercial Finance & Business Development

• Start-Up Mentality: Act as the commercial co-pilot to the business head. Bring a "roll-up-your-sleeves" energy to identify revenue synergies, optimize pricing strategies, and model new market launches.
• Margin Optimization: Develop dashboards to track unit economics, operational expenditure (OpEx) caps, and marketing return of investment.
• Growth Modeling: Support the launch of cross-selling initiatives by building agile, data-driven financial models.

The Non-Negotiables:

• Education/Certification: Active Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the Philippines.
• Experience: 4-8 years of progressive finance experience. Must have a strong foundation in audit or corporate finance (Big Four experience is highly preferred).
• Technical Chops: Deep, practical expertise in PFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) and cross-border tax compliance.

The Differentiators:

• The "Clean-Up" Experience: You have previously stepped into a founder-led, SME, or loosely structured environment and successfully implemented enterprise-grade ERPs, controls, and compliance frameworks.
• Commercial Agility: You don't just report the numbers; you use them to drive business development. You are comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous "startup" environment where you have to build the plane while flying it.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex local compliance issues (SEC, BIR, PEZA) to global stakeholders (Dubai headquarters).
