Role overview

Numa is a tech-enabled hospitality operator running roughly 150 active properties across multiple European markets and several brands, with two young business lines in Franchise and M&A. Behind that sits a genuinely complex financial structure: a large number of legal entities, spread across countries, cities and tax jurisdictions, each with its own statutory, audit and filing obligations — and each feeding one consolidated set of group numbers.

Our day-to-day accounting and controlling is delivered by a dedicated outsourced partner. Tax and statutory work is supported by local advisors in each market, coordinated with our in-house tax function. Numa is scaling faster than any of those structures were originally designed for.

This role is the group-level integrator. It is accountable for pulling a fragmented, multi-jurisdictional reporting landscape into one coherent, defensible, on-time set of group numbers — closed monthly, audited annually, filed correctly in every jurisdiction, and reconciled to the tax position everywhere.

It is not the deepest technical specialist in any single domain: we have a strong in-house tax function for tax substance, and local advisors for local specifics. What this role must do is understand audit and tax well enough to lead them — to challenge a position, to spot the risk before the auditor does, to know when an advisor is wrong, and to hold a group-wide process together across a dozen moving parts and several time zones of stakeholders.

The role leads a growing team and, over time, builds out Numa’s internal audit and assurance capability — the function that keeps quality high across our outsourced accounting model.

Key responsibilities

Group close and consolidation

Own the group close: the monthly, quarterly and annual cycle across all entities, delivered to a fixed calendar that management, the board and our lenders can rely on
Own the consolidated financial statements, including consolidation logic, intercompany elimination, purchase accounting for acquisitions, and the group-level judgements behind them • Ensure the group view and the local views reconcile — with a documented bridge from local statutory accounts to group in every jurisdiction
Drive close timeliness and quality down through the outsourced partner, the regional accountants and the advisors, rather than absorbing their delays at group level

Statutory reporting and audit

Own the annual statutory financial statements for every Numa entity across all jurisdictions: scope, timeline, preparer, reviewer, filing deadline and evidence — one integrated plan rather than a dozen local scrambles
Lead the group audit end to end: planning, materiality discussion, PBC management, technical positions, auditor relationship and issue resolution
Agree material judgements with the auditor early — lease and IFRS 16 treatment across our Fixed, Variable, Hybrid and HMA structures, revenue recognition by channel, capitalisation, impairment, going concern — and document them before year-end, not during it
Own closure of audit findings and management letter points across the group, tracked to completion • Raise Numa’s audit readiness from an annual effort to a continuous state
