Job Description
This newly created leadership role, established as part of the Professional Services and global finance transformation, oversees retained financial accounting processes within the Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Financial Control and selected in-country operations, following the transition of transactional finance to an external Managed Service Provider (MSP). The postholder provides high-level technical accounting advice and leads specialist retained services across P2P, O2C, R2R, and CLM, ensuring accurate, timely reporting and robust risk and control management in line with corporate policies and accounting standards. Responsibilities span statutory reporting, tax review and filing, cashflow oversight, audit support, and driving continuous improvement in partnership with Group Controllership and the MSP. The role is central to embedding consistent standards, strengthening governance, and leading behavioural and process change across transactional finance and monthly close activities.
The CoE Controllership team delivers specialised oversight: P2P manages payment approvals, non-automated payments, tax validation, and procurement cards; O2C oversees doubtful debt provisions and debt management; R2R reviews journals, reconciliations, month-end controls, intercompany matters, and tax investigations; and CLM supports cashflow forecasting, treasury, banking, and trapped cash repatriation. Working alongside in-country controllership teams that retain high-risk, complex statutory and tax responsibilities, the role ensures effective coordination of escalations routed through Business Partners and BDS into the Process CoE, with resolution managed in collaboration with RED teams or directly from the MSP. The postholder engages regularly with senior stakeholders across Finance Operations, Group, CoE, in-country finance, SLT, Treasury, audit and tax authorities, and must confidently challenge and influence leaders to safeguard financial integrity, compliance, and operational excellence
