We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.
At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.
What sets us apart is how we work.

As Financial Controller, you'll be the custodian of financial integrity across the business. You'll own everything from month-end close to statutory compliance, and lead the team that makes it all happen.
This is a genuine leadership role at the heart of the business. You'll take full ownership of financial controls, cash and treasury management, governance, and statutory reporting, while leading the FinOps team day-to-day and overseeing HR administration. As the primary operational finance decision-maker and first point of escalation below the CFO, you'll act as deputy CFO: the main point of contact for auditors, banking partners, and external suppliers.
If you're looking for a role where you can take real ownership, shape how finance operates, and grow alongside the business, this is it. Join us at Burendo and help build something great.
