Financial Controller
axrListed 1 Oct 2026
Role Summary
- 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.
- 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.
- You will report to the GM Finance, with real backing from senior finance leadership.
- Refreshing the global R2R standards first up. Month end close, journals, balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany transactions.
- You'll help set the global standard and then make sure it actually sticks.
- Oversight of the balance sheet rather than doing the recs yourself, including targeted reviews of high risk areas and getting aged items cleared.
- Owning the R2R control framework, segregation of duties included.
- Any internal audit findings that touch R2R come to you to resolve properly, root cause and all.
- Driving more automation across journals and intercompany, and looking at where AI can take out manual work (alongside a transformation lead already in place).
- One direct report, but a big network of finance teams relying on your standards who don't report to you.
- Established senior finance leader, not after a first step up.
- Audit background, then controllership in a large listed business.
- Genuine end to end R2R experience, from how a transaction is recorded right through to what gets reported.
- You've worked with an offshore shared services or outsourced model and know how to get the best out of one.
- International and multi-currency exposure is important here.
- Oracle, BlackLine and EPM or similar, and happy to get into the detail in Excel when needed.
- 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.
- A services or project-based background is a plus but not essential.
- circa $250k including super, plus STI.
- Sydney based.
- Flexibility, no mandated office days. It's a global role so some non-standard hours come with it.
- Good timing to join, with year end done and half year still a way off.
