Job Description

Job Role

The Assistant Controller holds day-to-day operational accountability for the finance and accounting function across three entities in three jurisdictions. The role owns the close, the control environment, group reporting, treasury execution, and compliance across all entities, and leads two supervisors and their teams. The role carries defined decision-making authority within set approval thresholds and is expected to resolve routine matters independently. Escalations, critical matters, and directional decisions — accounting policy, material judgments, and items of strategic or organizational consequence — remain with the Finance Controller. The incumbent acts for the Controller in their absence, within standing authority.

Key Responsibilities

Close and reporting — Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close across all three entities. Own group consolidation, intercompany reconciliation, and the consolidated management reporting pack. Certify results to the Controller each period.

Internal controls and audit — Own the design and effectiveness of internal controls. Build and maintain process documentation. Act as primary contact for external auditors across all entities and own the audit deliverables process.

Treasury and compliance — Own the group cash position and forecasting. Own the statutory and tax compliance calendar across the Philippines, Belize, and Hong Kong, including payroll statutory obligations.

Planning oversight — Oversee the annual budget and reforecast cycle, challenge assumptions, and ensure planning outputs are decision-useful for leadership.

Team leadership and development — Lead two supervisors and, through them, a team of five. Develop both supervisors toward manager-level readiness, jointly with the Controller. Build succession depth and eliminate single-point-of-failure exposure across all critical processes.

Procurement and administration — Direct oversight of procurement, purchase orders, vendor management, and inventory monitoring across all sites. Own vendor accreditation approval, held separately from purchase order processing.

Process improvement — Reduce close duration and manual effort, standardize processes across entities, and support the Controller's transformation agenda in execution.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 7+ years progressive finance and accounting experience, with at least 3 at manager level or above
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a close cycle with sign-off accountability
• Multi-entity close and consolidation experience
• Strong Philippine statutory, tax, and payroll compliance knowledge (BIR, SSS, PhilHealth, HDMF)
• Internal control design and documentation experience
• Demonstrable record of developing a direct report into a promotion
• Advanced Excel and hands-on experience with a full-function ERP preferred
• Public accounting background (Big 4 or national firm)
• Multi-jurisdiction experience; Hong Kong or offshore entity exposure
• Prior service as deputy to a Controller, Finance Director, or CFO
• Treasury and cash management experience
• Process improvement or close-acceleration track record with quantified results
