The Role The Senior Accounting & Finance Data Analyst is the analytics owner for Tala's accounting and finance reporting function across all markets (PH, KE, MX, GT, PA, VN, DO, IN). This role is responsible for the queries, data logic, and documentation behind monthly close reporting, statutory and tax reporting, and external audit support — work where correctness and traceability are non-negotiable because the outputs feed statutory filings and Big-4 audits. Unlike a standard product analyst role, accounting and audit domain context is essential. The immediate mandate is to stabilize and fully document a currently under-documented reporting estate, ensure continuity through the 2026 external audit cycle, and help migrate this reporting onto governed, version-controlled infrastructure (Presentation Layer / dbt) while moving the function toward self-serve. The role partners daily with the Controllership/Accounting team and closely with Analytics Engineering.
