Finance Specialist

Take Off is a B2B trading company specializing in the distribution of fashion ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, and home décor off-price products, proudly committed to fostering sustainability in the fashion ecosystem.

Our core business is sourcing excess inventory from world-renowned fashion brands and giving it a second life through traditional and digital sales channels.

Founded in 2015, Take Off has become the market leader in Eastern Europe, working with 250+ global brands and revaluing more than 24 million items.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Finance Professional to join our Finance team and take ownership of financial reporting, consolidation, planning and oversight across Take Off Ltd and other group companies.

This is a senior, hands-on role focused on consolidated reporting, budgeting and forecasting, group-company oversight and statutory and audit coordination. The person will work closely with the CFO and liaise with auditors, banks, accountants and other business partners. While the role has a strong reporting and planning focus, the person is also expected to be directly involved in day-to-day finance operations whenever required and to support other teams on finance-related matters.

What you will do

• Financial Reporting & Consolidation – Prepare and review management accounts and support the preparation of consolidated group accounts.
• Budgeting, Forecasting & Cash Flow Planning – Coordinate the annual budgeting process and periodic forecasts, prepare and maintain cash flow forecasts, monitor actual performance against budget, assess liquidity and funding requirements, and investigate significant variances.
• Group Company Oversight – Oversee the finance and accounting activities of group companies, coordinate with local accountants and advisers, review financial information received from the entities and ensure timely and accurate reporting.
• Audit & Year-End – Support and coordinate the year-end closing and audit process, prepare schedules and supporting documentation, liaise with external auditors and follow up on audit queries.
• Statutory & Corporate Compliance – Coordinate required statutory and corporate filings, including relevant submissions to the Malta Business Registry (MBR), and work with external advisers to ensure applicable deadlines are met.
• Daily Finance Operations – Take an active role in accounts receivable, accounts payable and treasury activities as required, including posting sales invoices, recording supplier bills, entering and matching bank transactions, preparing and processing payments, performing bank and account reconciliations, monitoring aged balances and following up on outstanding items. Support other teams with finance-related questions and operational matters, while ensuring day-to-day finance processes remain accurate and timely.
• Finance Partner Coordination – Liaise with banks, auditors, accountants, service providers and other external partners on finance-related matters and support the CFO with ad hoc financial analysis and projects.

What we are looking for

Must-have

• Finance/accounting qualification or strong equivalent practical background, with solid experience in a broad finance role. Around 5 years of relevant experience would typically provide the level of exposure expected for this position, but the quality and breadth of experience are more important than a specific number of years.
• Practical experience with consolidated accounts and a good understanding of intercompany reconciliations and consolidation principles.
• Hands-on experience with budgeting, financial forecasting and cash flow forecasting, together with management reporting.
• Strong understanding of financial accounting, balance sheet reconciliations and period-end closing processes.
• Good professional English, both written and spoken, with confidence communicating independently with auditors, banks, advisers, accountants and other external partners.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with ERP/accounting systems.
• High level of accuracy, attention to detail and ownership, with the ability to organise priorities and work independently.

Nice-to-have (not required, all valued)

• Previous hands-on experience liaising directly with external auditors and coordinating year-end audit requests and deliverables.
• Experience working in an international group or multi-company environment and overseeing finance activities across different entities.
• Experience with Maltese statutory or corporate filings, including submissions to the Malta Business Registry (MBR).
• ACCA, ACA or another recognised professional accounting qualification, completed or in progress.
• Experience with Odoo or a similar ERP system.
