About The Position

Disputifier is a high-growth fintech company transforming how e-commerce brands protect and recover revenue. Our platform automates chargeback prevention and response, replacing a manual, time-consuming process with a fast, intelligent workflow. We help merchants reduce chargebacks, improve win rates, and reclaim time to reinvest in growth. Our performance-based model aligns our incentives fully with our customers: we succeed only when they do. Backed by seamless integrations and a rapidly evolving product, Disputifier is reshaping a mission-critical part of the e-commerce stack. Joining us means becoming part of an ambitious, fast-moving team dedicated to transforming an essential but often overlooked part of the e-commerce ecosystem. We are seeking a Senior Manager, Finance & Accounting to own and scale all aspects of accounting, financial reporting, FP&A, and tax in a high-growth environment. This is a hands-on leadership role rather than a people-management role, while overseeing a small offshore team for day-to-day support. We are looking for someone with the seniority to operate strategically who is equally, if not more energized by executing the work directly. The ideal candidate is comfortable in a lean startup environment and eager to build processes and systems while adopting new tools and technology. Reporting to the COO, you will be an early finance and accounting hire, responsible for everything from day-to-day accounting and financial operations to financial modeling, forecasting, and data-driven strategic decision-making. This role is essential to establishing financial rigor, ensuring compliance, and equipping leadership with timely, accurate insights.

7–10 years of progressive finance experience, including time in public accounting and/or high-growth companies
Expert-level knowledge of QuickBooks Online, with hands-on experience owning month-end close and financial reporting
Experience leading audits, due diligence, and business reviews with leadership teams
Strong systems mindset and technical proficiency, with the ability to work directly in accounting tools and build automations and integrations independently
Detail-oriented: you are not satisfied until numbers reconcile, and you build in checks and balances to catch and correct errors
Builder: you create structure where little exists and prioritize automation, clear documentation, and repeatable workflows
High ownership: you are accountable for outcomes, not just tasks, and see work through to completion
Clear communicator: you can explain financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders
Comfortable with ambiguity: you thrive in a fast-moving environment where decisions evolve quickly but deliberately
Growth-minded : you welcome feedback, continuously seek better ways of working, and are committed to ongoing improvement
