- Act as the primary financial counterpart for regulators, ensuring compliance with financial and prudential reporting requirements established by the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) and other applicable authorities.
- Lead treasury, liquidity management, cash positioning, and banking relationships, ensuring the institution maintains financial resilience and operational stability.
- Oversee the financial governance of fiat payment operations, including key payment infrastructure such as PIX, bank transfers, payment processors, and banking partners, ensuring appropriate reconciliation control.
- Oversee financial operations related to digital assets, including wallets, custodial balances, blockchain reconciliations, and crypto treasury activities, ensuring accurate accounting treatment, visibility over on-chain transactions, and proper integration into financial reporting and internal controls.
- Monitor capital adequacy, balance sheet efficiency, and financial performance to support both growth and regulatory compliance.
- Monitor tax compliance and possess strong knowledge of tax legislation to validate tax obligations and support effective tax planning strategies.
- Strengthen internal controls, financial governance, and audit readiness across the finance function.
- Partner closely with Compliance, Risk, Legal, Operations, Product, and Engineering to ensure the company’s growth and innovation agenda is supported by strong financial foundations and sound governance.
Requirements
- BA/BS in Finance or Accounting (Master/MBA, CMA or CPA preferred).
- Extensive experience serving as a CFO, Finance Director, or senior finance executive within a regulated financial institution, fintech, payments company, or digital asset platform. Experience managing finance functions in regulated environments is essential.
- Expertise in financial reporting under Brazilian accounting standards and IFRS, including experience managing complex financial reporting environments that involve high transaction volumes and multiple asset classes.
- Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks applicable to financial institutions regulated by the Banco Central do Brasil, including regulatory reporting requirements, capital adequacy expectations, and financial governance standards.
- Understanding of fiat payment systems including bank transfers, payment processors, and domestic payment networks such as PIX, along with the reconciliation and financial reporting requirements associated with these systems.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in highly operational environments, with a self-starter mentality and hands-on involvement in payment flows, treasury movements, transaction reconciliations, and day-to-day financial processes.
