Job Purpose

The Head of Finance Controller is the guardian of financial truth and the architect of financial credibility across the group. Reporting to the Group CFO, this role holds group-wide accountability for consolidated reporting, accounting policy governance, internal control, and financial control excellence across all subsidiaries and holding entities — with a seat at the table on the group's most complex transactions and structural decision

Key Responsibilities

• Own group-wide consolidated financial reporting under PSAK/IFRS — monthly, quarterly, and annual published financial statements, including disclosure notes and critical judgment areas.
• Serve as the group's technical accounting authority: business combinations, equity-method investments, dilution and disposals, FX translation and OCI recycling, impairment; author accounting position papers and defend positions before auditors and the Audit Committee.
• Design and enforce the group accounting manual and uniform closing standards across all subsidiaries; lead hard-closes and accelerate the group close cycle.
• Lead accounting for corporate actions: M&A and divestments, rights issues, group restructuring, share dilution, and free-float compliance.
• Oversee the group's Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) framework; identify and remediate control deficiencies and audit findings in coordination with internal audit, treasury, and risk management.
• Govern group-wide budgeting, consolidated financial models, and corporate tax planning — ensuring full statutory compliance and sound tax structures.
• Manage relationships with external auditors, regulators (IDX/OJK), the Audit Committee, and the Board of Commissioners.
• Drive digitalization of the close and reporting cycle to reduce manual work; build, standardize, and coach a high-performing controllership team across subsidiaries.
• Act as a finance business partner to the CEO and Board — challenging subsidiary assumptions and advising on structural and capital allocation decisions.

Qualifications

• Minimum 20 years of progressive experience, combining a substantial Big 4 tenure (ideally to Senior Manager/Director level, leading engagements for public-listed groups) with a senior Group Controller role in a reputable listed group.
• Proven mastery of multi-subsidiary consolidation, complex group structures, associates and joint ventures, foreign operations, and corporate restructuring.
• Strong command of PSAK/IFRS technical judgment, ICFR/governance frameworks, and Indonesian tax regulations including audit and dispute management.
• Direct experience with Audit Committee, Board of Commissioners, and capital-market regulatory reporting.
• Exposure to resources, energy, mining, infrastructure, or capital-intensive/diversified holding groups is a strong advantage.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting from a leading Indonesian or reputable overseas university; CA required, CPA/CFE/CMA/Brevet strongly preferred. Postgraduate qualification (M.Acct/MBA/MM) is a plus.
• High integrity and independence, calm and decisive under pressure, with the executive presence to communicate complex financial matters clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
