We are seeking a Regional Controller to act as the foundational financial authority for the company in Colombia. This is not a “standard corporate” accounting role.

The Mandate:
We need an architect who can integrate into a high-velocity environment with more than 2,000 employees, strengthen the accounting foundations, and prepare the organization for growth across Latin America. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, you will be responsible for the end-to-end integrity of our financial ecosystem. You will lead the transition from a “startup-style” accounting structure to a robust institutional model.

Mission of the Role

Build the foundation: optimize SAP implementation, refine and formalize internal controls, and ensure every piece of hardware is recorded with maximum accuracy.

Operate the accounting team efficiently: providing the VP of Finance and cross-functional teams (Operations, Technology, etc.) with reliable “ground truth” data to drive margins and enable regional expansion.

Key Responsibilities

Foundation building: Assess and redesign current accounting flows to support an organization of over 2,000 employees. Standardize the chart of accounts and Record-to-Report (R2R) processes for multinational scalability.

SAP ecosystem authority: Act as the functional lead for SAP. Ensure the ERP architecture accurately reflects the lifecycle of proprietary hardware and fiber network assets.

Inventory and infrastructure control: Implement rigorous controls over CAPEX and supply chain. Track assets under construction, WIP (Work in Progress), raw materials, and high-volume inventories—from international procurement through field installation.

Partnership with Technical Operations: Work closely with Operations leaders to drive efficiency. Validate unit installation costs, contractor payments, and equipment consumption, ensuring the financial health of network deployment.

Regulatory and tax leadership: Take full ownership of reporting to DIAN, regulatory bodies, and municipal obligations (ICA). Manage relationships with statutory auditors and external audits to ensure compliance with no findings.

Regional expansion readiness: Standardize accounting structures and intercompany protocols in Colombia that can be replicated across other Latin American markets.

Requirements

Experience: Over 15 years of experience in accounting and financial control. At least 8 years as a senior Controller in multinational companies with significant physical infrastructure (telecommunications, logistics, or utilities).

SAP expertise (mandatory): Expert-level proficiency in SAP modules, with experience managing complex supply chains and asset-intensive balance sheets.

Builder profile: Proven experience structuring accounting functions in fast-growing organizations or reorganizing complex financial environments.

Credentials: Certified Public Accountant with an active professional license.

Language: Native Spanish and advanced professional English.

Preferred Qualifications

Multinational consolidation: Hands-on experience with intercompany eliminations, transfer pricing, and consolidation under US GAAP.

Regional expansion: Experience supporting expansion processes across Latin America.
