Job description

A career in Finance Operations within Internal Firm Services offers the opportunity to be part of PwC’s end-to-end invoice-to-cash (I2C) processes, supporting core areas such as billing, work-in-progress (WIP) and receivables.

In this role, you will play a key part in executing critical finance operations that impact financial accuracy, revenue recognition and cash collection. You will focus on ensuring processes are carried out accurately, completely and on time—supporting the firm’s ability to bill correctly and manage working capital effectively.

At the same time, you will be exposed to process improvement and finance transformation initiatives, supporting the team in identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency, strengthen controls and improve ways of working.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders, including regional and global teams, to resolve operational matters, enhance data quality, improve workflows and support more efficient, scalable ways of working.

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Associate to join our team.

This role sits within PwC’s invoice-to-cash (I2C) cycle, covering areas such as customer records, job codes, client billings, work-in-progress, timecards and receivables.

You will support the execution of finance processes with discipline and accuracy, working closely with senior team members to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. You will also have opportunities to contribute ideas and support initiatives to improve how these processes are performed over time.

This is a role for someone who understands that getting the fundamentals right is key to financial integrity, and who is motivated to learn, improve and grow within a structured operational environment.

What You’ll Do

Support core finance operations

• Execute assigned tasks within the I2C cycle (e.g. billing, WIP, receivables, time)
• Ensure transactions and data are processed accurately, completely and within timelines
• Follow established processes, controls and approval requirements
• Support resolution of operational issues to ensure smooth execution

Maintain data quality and process discipline

• Perform checks to ensure accuracy and consistency of financial data
• Identify discrepancies or issues and elevate appropriately
• Ensure adherence to internal policies, procedures and SLA requirements

Assist in process improvements and transformation

• Support identification of recurring issues or inefficiencies in processes
• Assist in implementing process improvements, automation or system changes
• Participate in transformation initiatives through data gathering, testing or coordination activities

Collaborate with stakeholders

• Work closely with engagement teams and internal stakeholders to support operational matters
• Provide clear and timely responses to queries
• Escalate issues where necessary to ensure resolution

Work as part of a team

• Collaborate with team members across related processes within the I2C cycle
• Ensure smooth handoffs between activities
• Support team priorities and contribute to overall team performance

What We’re Looking For

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds—a finance or accounting background is helpful but not required. What matters more is your mindset and approach.

We are looking for someone who:

• Demonstrates strong attention to detail and reliability in execution
• Is comfortable working with structured processes and detailed data
• Has good problem-solving and critical thinking skills
• Is willing to learn, improve and adapt within a fast-paced environment
• Communicates clearly and works well in a team environment

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree or professional qualifications
• Fluent in English
• Familiarity with tools such as Excel; exposure to Power BI or automation tools is an advantage
• This role will be on 12-month contract arrangement and the contract can be extended or converted to permanent based on performance.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to finance operations, shared services or transactional environments
• Experience supporting process improvement or system-related initiatives
