Description
We are launching our operations in Colombia from scratch — and the finance team will be at the very foundation of this journey. Everything is being built from the ground up: processes, reporting, infrastructure, relationships with regulators and partners. Our ambition is to create a modern, transparent, and resilient financial system that will support the company’s growth and set a high standard for the market.
The Senior Controller owns the integrity of Colombia's accounting, tax, statutory and regulatory reporting, and local treasury operations. You will be the company's primary finance interface with the Colombian regulator and the owner of a clean consolidation package delivered to Group. Two outcomes define success in this role, full and on-time compliance with all regulatory requirements, complete, accurate, and timely SFC reporting and full readiness for Group consolidation, an audit-ready package under IFRS and USGAAP, using Group frameworks, general ledger, and close processes end to end.
Challenges that await you
- Lead accounting, tax, statutory and SFC regulatory reporting, and local treasury operations for the Colombian entity.
- Drive the finance workstream of the SFC licensing process for the Compañía de Financiamiento, ensuring capital, control, and reporting requirements are met throughout
the transition to the credit-institution regime. - Own month-end close, statutory reporting under NIIF (Colombian IFRS), and timely, accurate periodic submissions to the Superintendencia Financiera.
- Manage Colombian tax compliance and planning — renta, retención en la fuente, ICA, and GMF (4×1000) — and maintain a strong working relationship with the DIAN.
- Deliver a clean upward consolidation package under IFRS/US GAAP, applying Group general ledger, chart of accounts, and close discipline; manage intercompany flows, transfer
pricing, and foreign-investment registration with the Banco de la República. - Build and embed the internal control environment, including SOX 404 readiness.
- Act as the company's principal finance interface with the SFC and external auditors.
What makes you a great fit
- Proven finance leadership experience within a Compañía de Financiamiento, bank, or other SFC-regulated institution is required. Candidates must have hands-on experience with regulatory reporting to the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC) and a strong understanding of the regulatory framework.
- Deep expertise in NIIF (Colombian IFRS), statutory reporting, month-end close, and consolidation.
- Strong Colombian tax knowledge — renta, retención en la fuente, ICA, GMF (4×1000) — with an established DIAN relationship.
- Proven track record in SFC regulatory reporting for a licensed credit institution.
- Experience preparing consolidation packages under IFRS and/or US GAAP, including intercompany flows, transfer pricing, and Banco de la República foreign-investment registration.
- Experience building or operating an internal control environment, ideally toward SOX 404 readiness.
- Fluent Spanish and English, with the ability to operate effectively within an international group structure.
Our benefits:
- Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions.
- Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication.
- Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community.
- Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together.
- High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances.
