Head of Finance Operations

Head Of Finance Operations

About Ai Acquisition

The Role

This Is Not For You If

• You can only work independently and struggle to lead or direct others
• You prefer building models over building systems
• You manage from a distance rather than having genuine operational grip
• You treat SOPs as someone else’s job
• You wait for direction instead of creating clarity
• You call something “done” when it’s documented but not implemented

Cash Flow & Treasury Oversight & Execution

• Own the daily cash cycle across all entities DMCC, Acquisity, AI Broker, and others
• Oversee and manage high-volume USD revenue flows from Whop into UAE bank accounts
• Ensure seamless daily funding of GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend ad accounts do not pause on your watch
• Build a live cash visibility system so the Director of Finance sees the position at a glance, not after a request

Payment Infrastructure Lead the Transition

• Lead the full migration from legacy Pleo/UK-entity setup to Qashio (UAE-native)
• Evaluate and implement Whop’s virtual card platform for a direct, automated Meta spend link
• Eliminate manual card-topping and payment bottlenecks entirely
• Every payment flow you touch should end up tracked, reconciled, and automated

S

• ystems, SOPs & Automation Turn Manual Into Machine
• Audit every manual finance process. If a human is doing it repeatedly, it should be automated or systematized
• Build and implement SOPs across cash management, reporting, payments, refunds, and reconciliation and ensure the team follows them
• Work with our external bookkeeping partner (Emifast) to ensure Xero is accurate, current, and structured properly across all entities
• Convert chaotic financial data into clean, trackable dashboards the Director of Finance and executive team can rely on

Entity & Vendor Management

• Oversee financial operations across 2–3 entities, each with different products and revenue structures
• Hold external bookkeeping accountable quality, timeliness, accuracy. No exceptions
• Manage the financial wind-down of the legacy UK entity once the new payment infrastructure is live

Reporting Simple, Not Sophisticated

• Deliver distilled, executive-ready reporting: cash position, P&L by entity, key risks in five bullet points, not twenty tabs
• Surface profitability issues early, particularly for Acquisity, which needs clear diagnosis and corrective action
• Build reporting rhythms so the Director of Finance is never caught off guard

What Success Looks Like

• Ad accounts never pause because of cash flow
• Payment infrastructure is fully transitioned and running without manual intervention
• Every financial process has an SOP. Every SOP is being followed
• The Director of Finance has more time to think because you handle the execution and oversight
• Xero is clean, current, and trusted across all entities
• Weekly reporting takes minutes to produce because the systems are built
• Manual work is replaced by automated, tracked data — not spreadsheets, real systems

Who You Are

Requirements

• 5+ years in a finance operations, treasury, or senior finance execution role — not advisory, not
• modelling, not investment banking
• Experience leading or overseeing finance operations teams, external partners, or cross-functional
• processes
• Direct hands-on experience managing high-volume, multi-currency cash flows (USD, GBP, AED)
• Proven track record building and implementing SOPs in finance operations
• Experience managing external bookkeeping or accounting firms and holding them to a standard
• Strong working knowledge of Xero, Wise, Whop, and corporate card platforms (Pleo, Qashio or similar)
• Someone who builds systems, not reports and executes before being asked twice

Highly Desirable

• Experience with UAE corporate structures, specifically DMCC entities
• Background in performance marketing businesses with high daily ad spend
• Experience managing entity wind-downs or cross-border entity restructuring
• Familiarity with Series A / early-scale finance environments — you know how to bring structure without bureaucracy
