Role Summary nn
- A large, listed multinational is looking for a Financial Controller to own its record to report process globally, across a lot of countries, currencies and time zones.
n
- Finance runs through a mix of in-country teams and an offshore shared services centre, so the same process gets done quite differently depending on where you look. Your job is to assess, improve & standardise.
n
- You will report to the GM Finance, with real backing from senior finance leadership.
n

What the Role Involves nn
- Refreshing the global R2R standards first up. Month end close, journals, balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany transactions.
n
- You'll help set the global standard and then make sure it actually sticks.
n
- Oversight of the balance sheet rather than doing the recs yourself, including targeted reviews of high risk areas and getting aged items cleared.
n
- Owning the R2R control framework, segregation of duties included.
n




- Any internal audit findings that touch R2R come to you to resolve properly, root cause and all.
n
- Driving more automation across journals and intercompany, and looking at where AI can take out manual work (alongside a transformation lead already in place).
n
- One direct report, but a big network of finance teams relying on your standards who don't report to you.
n

Ideal Background / Experience nn
- Established senior finance leader, not after a first step up.
n
- Audit background, then controllership in a large listed business.
n
- Genuine end to end R2R experience, from how a transaction is recorded right through to what gets reported.
n
- You've worked with an offshore shared services or outsourced model and know how to get the best out of one.
n
- International and multi-currency exposure is important here.
n
- Oracle, BlackLine and EPM or similar, and happy to get into the detail in Excel when needed.
n
- Comfortable with ambiguity. There's no set weekly list of deliverables, so you'll need to be someone who works out what matters and gets on with it.
n
- A services or project-based background is a plus but not essential.
n

What's on Offer nn
- circa $250k including super, plus STI.
n
- Sydney based.
n
- Flexibility, no mandated office days. It's a global role so some non-standard hours come with it.
n
- Positive timing to join, with year end done and half year still a way off.
