Company Description iGravity is a FINMA-regulated impact investment management and advisory firm with approximately 40 staff across offices in Zurich (HQ), Milan, Nairobi, Kampala and Bogotá. We work with investors, development finance institutions and philanthropic organizations to design and manage impact investment strategies across emerging and frontier markets.
We are an international and fast-growing firm with a flat structure and a hands-on culture. This is a role where you will work closely with the CFO and have real ownership of the finance function from day one.
To support the next phase of growth, iGravity is bringing its accounting function in-house, as bookkeeping and financial reporting have so far been managed by an external fiduciary. The Financial Accountant will take over day-to-day accounting operations and become the internal owner of iGravity's finance processes, working closely with the CFO and coordinating with the external fiduciary during the transition period.
