VP, Finance

HAQQ is hiring a VP, Finance in Lebanon to lead finance across our group of entities in multiple countries - owning accounting, reporting, treasury, tax, and planning as we scale our Legal AI and practice-management products.

The VP, Finance is HAQQ's senior finance leader. You will own the full finance cycle across all group entities - accounting, consolidation, reporting, treasury, payroll, tax, and compliance - and turn it into a reliable, scalable function. Beyond keeping the books right, you will be a strategic partner to leadership: building the budget and forecasts, guiding investment and fundraising decisions, and supporting the group's ongoing restructuring and consolidation. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone equally comfortable building models, closing the month, and presenting to the board.

• Lead and build the finance function across all HAQQ entities, setting policies, controls, and processes that scale.
• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and deliver accurate consolidated and entity-level financial statements.
• Manage group consolidation, intercompany transactions, and transfer-pricing arrangements across multiple countries.
• Build and run the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and financial models; track performance against plan and report variances.
• Oversee treasury and cash management, including multi-currency banking, payment providers, and cash-flow forecasting - with particular care for the Lebanese banking environment.
• Oversee payroll, vendor payments, billing, and collections, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Ensure tax and statutory compliance in every jurisdiction, and coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and local accountants.
• Support fundraising, investor relations, and board reporting, including data rooms, KPIs, and SaaS metrics (ARR, burn, runway, unit economics).
• Partner with leadership and Legal on corporate restructuring, entity setup, and group holding structure.
• Own and improve the finance tech stack (e.g., QuickBooks Online across entities) and automate reporting where possible.
• Provide financial analysis and recommendations on pricing, hiring, investments, and new markets.
• Hire, develop, and manage the finance team.
