<p>This is a unique opportunity to become the finance lead for a fast-growing startup being built within a major gaming studio.</p>
<p>PuzzlePlay is scaling rapidly, expanding into new markets and growing its user base and portfolio. As the dedicated finance lead, you'll have significant ownership and visibility across the entire business — from core accounting and treasury through to FP&A, international expansion, product launches and strategic projects.</p>
<p>You'll work directly with the PuzzlePlay leadership and product teams, while partnering with Group Finance, Tax and Legal. You'll have the autonomy and pace of a startup, backed by the expertise and infrastructure of a larger gaming group.</p>
<p>Most importantly, you'll be building the finance function as the business grows and tailoring it to the needs of both you and the key stakeholders.</p>
<p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p>
<p><strong>Own the Finance Function: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Lead month-end close, reporting, reconciliations and intercompany accounting</li>
<li>Manage treasury, FX exposure and payment provider relationships</li>
<li>Oversee reward liabilities, settlement cycles and cash flow</li>
<li>Build and maintain finance controls around fraud, abuse and user payouts</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Support Growth:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Lead budgeting, forecasting and KPI reporting</li>
<li>Build financial models around PuzzlePlay's unique economics and user dynamics</li>
<li>Partner with Product on the financial implications of new features and mechanics</li>
<li>Support entry into new territories, including tax, payments, regulatory and compliance requirements</li>
<li>Work with Legal, KYC/Compliance and external advisors as the business expands</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Lead Strategic Projects:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Support intercompany recharge arrangements</li>
<li>Develop PuzzlePlay's finance systems, processes and controls as it moves towards a standalone infrastructure</li>
<li>Own statutory reporting and audit as the business reaches scale</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>About You</strong></p>
<p>We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), ideally with 1–2 years PQE, who wants real ownership and exposure to a growing business.</p>
<p>You'll be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Commercially minded, with strong technical accounting fundamentals</li>
<li>Adaptable to working autonomously in a fast-moving environment</li>
<li>Confident building processes where they don't yet exist</li>
<li>Comfortable working across finance, product, operations and senior leadership</li>
<li>Keen to develop experience across financial modelling, payments, multi-currency and international operations</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why PuzzlePlay?</strong></p>
<p>This is a chance to build something from the ground up while having the backing of a major gaming group.</p>
<p>You'll have broad exposure across finance, product, payments, international expansion and strategy — with the opportunity to make a tangible impact as PuzzlePlay scales.</p>
