Job description

Finance Manager - Commercial & Reporting

The Finance Manager Commercial & Reporting is the business partner for the Commercial and ITC (Invoice to Cash) functions including Sales, Treasury and Commercial Finance to ensure they meet group’s controls and defined procedures. This is a controllership role focused on revenue/AR/trade spend accounting, close ownership, balance sheet integrity, and SOX/internal controls. Ideal for a CA/CPA with audit and technical accounting strength (US GAAP/IFRS) who enjoys partnering with Commercial while maintaining accounting rigor.

Key responsibilities

  • Oversee GL operational transaction processing for Commercial and MSG&A accounts; ensure end-to-end integrity and compliance (US GAAP, Global/Local standards, IFRS awareness).
  • Perform structured and ad hoc deep dives into P&L and Balance Sheet accounts; identify issues, risks, and required corrective actions.
  • Own/drive month-end close activities and produce key internal financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow); support management sign-off of results.
  • Provide timely month-end/quarterly commentary for Commercial and MSG&A, translating variances (YoY/MoM/YTD) into clear business drivers and actionable insights.
  • Deliver analytical support for AR Aging, cash allocation, bad debt provision and forecasting; monitor AR health and trade spend impacts.
  • Coordinate and resolve commercial accounting topics (sales reversals, sales returns, bad debt) with Sales Finance and relevant stakeholders.
  • Partner with ITC to improve AR and trade spend control processes and reporting, including standardization and Excel-enabled automation.
  • Review Balance Sheet reconciliations for Commercial and SG&A accounts in line with company financial policy; ensure timely clearance of reconciling items.
  • Provide technical accounting guidance to Shared Services and broader teams to improve processes and ensure consistent application of policies.
  • Support external audit and key audit timelines with the Reporting Controller; ensure audit requests are met accurately and on schedule.
  • Coordinate with F&C, HR, Legal, Marketing, Sales, and Operations to ensure complete and timely provision of audit documentation.
  • Work closely with Internal Controls to ensure compliance tasks are executed; assist with SOX testing and independent certification activities.
  • Partner with process owners to remediate audit findings, strengthen controls, and prevent recurrence through sustainable process improvements.
  • Manage stakeholder queries/issues and ensure timely resolution without delaying close, audits, or reporting.
  • Coach and develop the offshore Senior Analyst, providing guidance, review, and oversight of deliverables.

Must have

  • CA/CPA qualified with 7-10+ years in audit, technical accounting, controllership or similar.
  • Strong month-end close ownership and balance sheet governance (reconciliations, provisions, cut-off, journals).
  • Hands‑on experience with revenue/AR/trade spend accounting (returns, rebates/promotions, bad debt/ECL, cash allocation)
  • Working knowledge of AASB/IFRS (incl. revenue recognition)
  • Experience in a SOX/ICFR environment and supporting external audit
  • Advanced Excel and large ERP experience (SAP preferred)
  • Able to influence Commercial stakeholders, explain accounting impacts clearly, and deliver audit‑ready documentation

Highly regarded

  • Big 4 or second tier public practice experience
  • Experience working in a complex, high-volume, multinational business
  • Knowledge of US accounting standards and principles.
