  • Practical knowledge of Cyprus accounting, tax, and regulatory rules.
  • Hands-on experience with audit coordination, reporting systems, and finance automation tools.
  • Clear understanding of revenue structures driven by payment processing, commissions, and transactional income.
  • Strong analytical ability and communication skills, including the ability to explain financial results to board-level stakeholders.
  • Professional certification such as ACCA, ACA, or an equivalent qualification is a strong plus.
  • Fluency in both Russian and English.

Why this role stands out

  • Opportunity to influence the growth of a leading fintech business in the payments space.
  • Room for professional growth in an ambitious, fast-moving team that values ownership and progress.
  • Work alongside talented colleagues who are committed to high standards and meaningful outcomes.
  • Competitive pay aligned with experience, skills, and impact, supported by transparent annual performance reviews.
  • Fully remote setup with flexibility to work from wherever you are most productive.
  • 20 vacation days per year, plus bank holidays and sick leave.
  • Private health insurance with an annual €1,000 budget for premium medical coverage.
  • Support for learning and development, including conferences, courses, professional growth, and AI tools budget.
