• Newly Created Role
• Finance & Enterprise Transformation Agenda
• High-Growth Environment

Our client is a leading professional services firm, with an established presence across Asia Pacific. As they continue to pursue growth through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, there is now an exciting opportunity for a strong finance controller to join them.

Role

Reporting to the Group CFO, you will lead the Group's financial reporting, consolidation, controls and governance across multiple markets, working closely with country finance leaders to drive consistency and operational excellence. You will oversee the Group's financial close, statutory reporting, treasury, tax and audit processes, while strengthening financial controls and accounting standards across the organisation. A key priority will be to spearhead finance transformation initiatives, including the implementation and optimisation of consolidation and planning systems, standardisation of financial data and processes, and development of meaningful profitability reporting. You will also partner with senior leadership on budgeting, forecasting, strategic financial analysis and M&A activities, including post-acquisition integration. This is a highly visible role requiring a strong balance of technical expertise, commercial acumen and the ability to drive change across a geographically dispersed organisation.

Requirements

Ideally, you are a qualified accountant with a Degree in Accountancy or Finance and a recognised professional qualification (CPA, CA or equivalent). You bring a minimum of 10 years progressive finance experience, including at least 3 years in a Financial Controller or senior finance leadership capacity. Prior Big Four exposure is a critical advantage for this role. You have strong technical expertise in IFRS, multi-entity and multi-currency consolidation, financial controls and statutory reporting, coupled with a proven track record in finance transformation, systems implementation and process standardisation. Experience in M&A integration and working within a high-growth, acquisitive or private equity-backed environment will be highly advantageous. You are commercially astute, analytical and hands-on, with strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence across markets and functions. Importantly, you are comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
