Our client is a leading international financial services organisation with a significant presence across global markets. The business has a strong reputation for financial discipline, risk management and high standards of governance.

An opportunity has arisen within its Finance function for a senior regulatory reporting professional to provide technical expertise across balance sheet and statistical reporting.

The opportunity

This is a senior advisory position supporting the interpretation and implementation of regulatory reporting requirements across the organisation.

You will act as a trusted subject matter expert, helping the business understand regulatory obligations and ensuring reporting processes remain accurate, robust and appropriately governed.

The role will involve a combination of technical analysis, stakeholder advisory, governance and review activity, with regular interaction across Finance, Risk and other senior business stakeholders.

Key responsibilities

• Provide specialist advice on regulatory reporting obligations, particularly across balance sheet and statistical reporting.
• Interpret new and changing regulatory requirements and assess their impact on the business.
• Translate complex regulatory guidance into practical recommendations and clear direction for stakeholders.
• Review existing reporting processes, controls and governance frameworks and identify opportunities to strengthen them.
• Provide independent analysis and professional judgement where regulatory or accounting requirements are open to interpretation.
• Support the business in maintaining compliance with relevant regulatory obligations and reporting standards.

About you

We are seeking an experienced regulatory reporting or financial accounting professional who combines strong technical knowledge with the ability to operate effectively in a senior advisory environment.

Ideally, you will bring:

• 12+ years' experience within financial services, banking or a related environment.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting, Commerce, Business or a similar discipline.
• CA, CPA or an equivalent professional accounting qualification.
• Strong knowledge of regulatory reporting requirements and financial reporting standards.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret complex regulatory requirements and apply sound professional judgement.
• Experience providing technical advice and guidance to senior stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex issues for non-specialist audiences.
• Experience working through regulatory change and assessing its impact on reporting processes and controls.
• Exposure to regulatory registration, notification or approval processes would be advantageous.
• A proactive and analytical approach, with the confidence to form and communicate an independent view.

Why consider the opportunity?

This is a high-impact role within a sophisticated financial services environment, offering the opportunity to influence regulatory reporting standards, governance and processes across a complex organisation.

The position would suit someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of regulation, accounting, reporting, governance and stakeholder advisory, rather than focusing solely on production-based reporting.
