Level Group is looking for a Head of Finance and Operations (startup) to build the entire back office "from scratch" and, for some time, manage it single-handedly – in constant contact with the founders and with real influence on how the business is structured.
About the project:
A technology project from Level Group friends. The team is robotizing routine operational processes for building maintenance: a park of robotic equipment managed by its own digital platform. Ahead lies the launch of a legal entity, the purchase of equipment from abroad, the first anchor client from market leaders, and exponential growth of the park within two years.
Your tasks:
Startup from scratch:
- Selection of the tax regime and registration of a legal entity, opening current and foreign currency accounts, payroll project, electronic document management (EDO).
- Setting up accounting and tax accounting: accounting policy, primary documents, accounting system, reporting, and interaction with the Federal Tax Service (FNS), banks, and auditors.
Foreign Economic Activity (FEA):
- Support for import contracts for equipment: terms negotiation, registration, currency control, payments to foreign suppliers.
- Customs clearance in cooperation with a broker, import VAT, and duties.
- Accounting for imported equipment: initial cost, balance sheet entry, depreciation, exchange rate differences.
Treasury and Finance:
- Payment calendar, liquidity control, salary, tax, and contribution payments.
- Receipt and processing of incoming financing; settlement of accounts with customers, considering payment deferrals.
- Review of the development plan for 1.5–2 years and maintenance of the financial model: unit economics, financing needs, sensitivity to assumptions.
- Budgeting, management reporting, plan-fact analysis.
Personnel and Legal:
- Personnel record-keeping from scratch: staffing table, employment contracts, orders, local acts, military registration, employee onboarding.
- Contract management with customers, suppliers, and contractors, support for the contract with the anchor client, corporate documents, task assignment to external consultants.
Candidate expectations:
- At least 5 years of experience as a Chief Accountant or in a combined role with a CFO – with full responsibility for accounting and reporting.
- Successful experience participating in high-growth projects and launching businesses from scratch.
- Practical experience in Foreign Economic Activity (FEA): import contracts, currency control, working with a customs broker, import VAT, exchange rate differences.
- Accounting for fixed assets and capital-intensive activities, including leasing and credit instruments.
- Financial modeling at the level of independently building and defending a model.
- Full-cycle personnel record-keeping and contract management without an in-house lawyer.
- Readiness to handle the entire back office manually, with subsequent hiring and team building.
Will be a plus:
- Experience in attracting debt or investment financing, undergoing due diligence.
- Experience in companies working with equipment, machinery, or distributed field service.
The company offers:
- A young, progressive, and experienced team.
- The opportunity to work on a unique product and be proud of completed projects.
- An open, friendly atmosphere – colleagues know how to work and relax together.
- A flexible structure without bureaucracy – the team welcomes ideas and healthy ambitions.
- Stable salary
