Role
Who you are
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
- Significant experience in financial control, reporting, and systems ownership, ideally in international settings
- Familiarity with SaaS revenue recognition principles (MRR, ARR, deferred revenue)
- Hands-on experience improving processes and automation in tools like Chargebee, NetSuite, Xero, or similar
- A builder mindset with the drive to scale processes in fast-growing environments
- Proven ability to manage distributed teams and coordinate across functions and geographies
- Excellent communication skills and stakeholder management across technical and non-technical teams
Desirable
- Experience in a B2B SaaS company
- Exposure to private equity or VC-backed environments
- Working knowledge of IFRS, especially revenue recognition standards (e.g. IFRS 15)
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Group Financial Controller (f/m/x) to lead and scale our controllership function as we enter our next phase of growth
- This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, hands-on environments
- You’ll take full ownership of building a future-proof finance backbone — driving accuracy, automation, reporting, governance, and especially strong revenue recognition practices tailored to SaaS
- You’ll work closely with the VP Finance, CFO, and leadership across the company to ensure our financial systems, processes, and team can support sustainable scale
- From monthly close and IFRS compliance to Chargebee automation and ERP integration — you’ll be responsible for building structure where it doesn’t yet exist, and improving what already does
- Lead financial control & reporting: Oversee the month-end close process across multiple entities and currencies. Consolidate financials and deliver accurate, timely, and compliant reporting under IFRS
- Own revenue recognition: Define and enforce revenue recognition policies. Partner with RevOps, Sales, and Product to ensure recognition rules align with subscription models and are accurately implemented across systems
- Drive financial system improvements: Lead improvements in Chargebee, ERP (e.g. NetSuite), and PowerBI, ensuring our finance stack scales with us. Identify manual processes and champion automation
- Establish budget accountability: Set department-level budget guardrails, monitor spend, and ensure cost discipline. Partner with People Ops and business teams on headcount and resource planning
- Lead a high-performing team: Manage and grow a distributed finance team, starting with our Netherlands-based GL and transactional finance colleagues. Set clear goals, build consistent processes, and foster a collaborative, performance-oriented culture
- Support strategic decision-making: Act as a key finance partner to the VP Finance and CFO. Contribute to board reporting, forecasting, investor updates, audits, and due diligence processes
Our take
Eye Security was founded by a trio of Dutch Security Services and Intelligence experts, who wanted to combine round-the-clock cyber security with built-in cyber insurance in one platform. Small businesses are the top priority for the company, as these organisations lose billions in damages related to cyber attacks every year.
With hundreds of customers across a wide array of industries, Eye Security’s proposition is a subscription model, making it more manageable for small businesses. Beyond its flagship cyber security and insurtech solution, the company also offers more tailored packages and industry-specific solutions, further widening its appeal.
It is this suitability for many industries that makes Eye Security stand out, and it has attracted substantial investment from the likes of JP Morgan. Interestingly, this will be used to consolidate its presence in European markets, rather than expanding into the likes of North America - where it would likely meet fierce competition from native companies.
