Job description

About MCR

MCR is an international performance-driven company with operating entities in Israel, Cyprus and Poland, specializing in online IQ tests, brain training platforms, and detailed result reporting. We serve customers primarily in North America, Asia, and Japan, generating millions of monthly user visits through performance marketing across all major channels. Headquartered in Cyprus, MCR operates globally with a focus on innovation and continuous growth.

About the Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Head of Finance (Global Controller) to own our day‑to‑day finance operations, drive process discipline and provide “CFO‑grade” insight to the CEO.

Key Responsibilities

Entity & account consolidation: Maintain accurate books for Israel, Cyprus and Poland; reconcile multi‑currency bank accounts, vendors and dozens of monthly payments; produce a single consolidated view.

Payment‑processor reconciliation: Verify receipts from Stripe and other gateways; match commissions/fees and resolve discrepancies quickly.

Oversight of local accountants: Review and approve statutory filings prepared by external accountants; implement quality‑control checklists instead of relying on raw submissions.

Banking & entity set‑up: Open new bank or processor accounts and, when required, new legal entities; manage document packs and iterative KYC requests end‑to‑end.

Monthly close & reporting: Deliver P&L, balance‑sheet and cash‑flow statements within 5 working days; run variance analysis and rolling forecasts.

Controls & compliance: Design internal controls, manage treasury, support audit/tax filings, and ensure security of highly‑sensitive financial data.

Process improvement & tooling: Evaluate, select and implement finance systems (ERP, expense management, BI) to automate reconciliations and shorten the close cycle.

Leadership support: Provide data‑driven insight and scenario models to the CEO and founders; help shape budgeting and strategic decisions.

Required Qualifications

● 5+ years in controllership, head of finance or senior accounting within multinational start‑ups/SMEs.

● Demonstrated multi‑currency, multi‑entity consolidation experience.

● Expert knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP; familiarity with Israeli/EU tax regimes is a plus.

● Hands‑on experience with online payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) & banking integrations.

● Advanced Excel/Google Sheets plus proficiency in at least one modern accounting/ERP platform (you will help choose the stack).

● Fluent English (written & spoken).

● University degree in Finance/Accounting; CPA/ACCA (or local equivalent) preferred.

● High integrity—able to pass rigorous background and reference checks.
