Head of Finance Operations

Role Overview

• You will report directly to and support our Director of Finance freeing them from the operational grind so they can focus on strategy and growth.
• You will inherit a multi-entity structure with real operational complexity: live cash flow pressure, a payment infrastructure in transition, manual processes that need to be automated, and financial data that needs to be turned into clean, actionable systems.
• Your mandate is simple: stabilize, systematize, and automate. You will oversee the people and processes that execute this work and where needed, you will get into the detail yourself
• Own the daily cash cycle across all entities DMCC, Acquisity, AI Broker, and others
• Oversee and manage high-volume USD revenue flows from Whop into UAE bank accounts
• Ensure seamless daily funding of GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend ad accounts do not pause on your watch
• Build a live cash visibility system so the Director of Finance sees the position at a glance, not after a request
• Lead the full migration from legacy Pleo/UK-entity setup to Qashio (UAE-native)
• Evaluate and implement Whop’s virtual card platform for a direct, automated Meta spend link
• Eliminate manual card-topping and payment bottlenecks entirely
• Audit every manual finance process. If a human is doing it repeatedly, it should be automated or systematized
• Build and implement SOPs across cash management, reporting, payments, refunds, and reconciliation and ensure the team follows them
• Convert chaotic financial data into clean, trackable dashboards the Director of Finance and executive team can rely on
• Oversee financial operations across 2–3 entities, each with different products and revenue structures
• Hold external bookkeeping accountable quality, timeliness, accuracy. No exceptions
• Manage the financial wind-down of the legacy UK entity once the new payment infrastructure is live
• Deliver distilled, executive-ready reporting: cash position, P&L by entity, key risks in five bullet points, not twenty tabs
• Build reporting rhythms so the Director of Finance is never caught off guard
