About the challenge

1 year after being acquired by Lifull Connect, our business in Indonesia is profitable and positioned to grow aggressively over the coming years. As the largest proptech in Indonesia, we operate various business models across multiple brands and 3 entities. That's a lot of financial complexity, we need someone who can turn it into clarity: clean consolidated numbers and above all a finance function that scales with the business rather than slowing it down.
