We are here for businesses that operate across multiple entities, jurisdictions and currencies, and for sectors that traditional banks generally overlook. Think family offices, internationally operating companies, corporate service providers and the clients they serve. We are going through the authorisation process with the Central Bank of Ireland, one of the most reputable banking jurisdictions in Europe, and we are only getting started.\nWhy this role exists\nMost finance people inherit someone else’s mess: the spreadsheet nobody understands, the close that takes two weeks because that is just how it has always been done. You will inherit none of that. We have built a strong business and a strong team ahead of launch, and the finance function is a blank page waiting for the right person to own it. That person builds the month-end close and the reporting from scratch, the way it should be done, and then automates it so it scales as fast as we do.\nThe role, in plain terms\nWorking alongside the CFO, you own the financial reporting of the business end to end. In practice:\nReporting and close\nRun the month-end close: journals, accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations and management accounts. \nPrepare the group consolidation. \nPrepare KPI reporting and the finance sections of the board packs and present the results to senior management. \nPrepare the statutory financial statements and act as the day-to-day contact for our external auditors. \nRegulatory and safeguarding\nPrepare and monitor regulatory returns and capital adequacy reporting under the Central Bank of Ireland's EMI framework. \nSupport the daily safeguarding reconciliation and the quarterly safeguarding review. \nTreasury and tax\nMonitor cash positions and FX exposure across multiple currencies, in line with our operational payment flows. \nPrepare and submit VAT and other tax returns. \nPlanning and improvement\nSupport on the annual budget process and reporting against rolling forecasts. \nFind cost efficiencies and drive automation across reporting and finance operations, working closely with our operations and technology teams. \nWhat it is actually like\nWe want to be straight with you. We are an early-stage business, still going through authorisation and heading into launch. Priorities shift, some weeks are busier than others, and you will often be the person working out how something should be done before you do it. If that sounds uncomfortable, this is probably not the right move. If it sounds like the fastest way you will learn, keep reading.\nRequirements\nWho we are looking for\nSomeone who wants to build, not maintain. You have a real interest in financial services and in where payments and the movement of value are heading. You are curious, you ask when you are not sure, and you take ownership of your work from start to finish. When you spot something that could be done better, you do something about it.\nYou communicate clearly with people inside and outside finance, and you want to grow. This role is built for someone with the ambition to become a future finance leader.\nWhat you bring\nQualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA, CA(SA) or equivalent), with 0 to 3 years PQE. \nStrong technical accounting and a process-driven way of working. \nExperience in, or audit exposure to, EMIs, payment institutions or credit institutions. \nComfortable working too hard deadlines in an environment that keeps changing. \nA clear and confident communicator. \nA track record of improving processes, not just following them. \nNice to have\nBig 4 financial services audit training. \nExposure to asset and wealth management, capital markets or regulatory reporting. \nHands-on experience with cloud accounting systems, reporting tools or automation. \nWhat is in it for you\nYou report directly to the CFO and have a real say in how the finance function gets built. \nExposure that would take years to gather in a larger organisation: reporting, regulatory capital, safeguarding, treasury, tax and audit, all inside one regulated EMI. \nDirect access to the leadership team and the decisions that shape the business. \nRoom to grow. As the business scales, so do the role and the team around it. \nWhere you are based\nThis is aDublin role, in the office at least four days a week. At our stage, it only works if you are in the room when the decisions get made.\nLet us talk\nIf this reads like you, get in touch. And if it reads like someone you rate, send them our way, or send us the introduction. The best people in this world almost always come recommended, so a good word from you carries weight.\nBenefits\nPrivate Healthcare\nPension\n25 days annual leave","description_format":"text","description_chars":4705,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Human Resources"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T12:00:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/solance-founding-accountant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/solance-founding-accountant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T03:25:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5295,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4469797},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4469797"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsolance-founding-accountant"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsolance-founding-accountant"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsolance-founding-accountant"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/solance-founding-accountant\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsolance-founding-accountant"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3394823}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"solance.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3394823},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
