Role Overview
Reporting to: Controls & Governance Manager.
This is a hands‑on analyst role focused on strengthening, improving and embedding financial controls across the organisation. Sitting within Finance, the role works across core end‑to‑end finance processes including Record to Report, Order to Cash, Purchase to Pay and Treasury.
You’ll partner with finance and non‑finance teams to identify control weaknesses, improve ways of working, document processes, and ensure controls operate effectively in practice – not just on paper.
This is not a transactional finance role and not a pure audit or SOX testing position. It is suited to someone with a strong finance operations background who wants to move into financial controls, governance and risk.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Controls & Governance
* Support the design, improvement and strengthening of financial controls across the group
* Document controls and processes using clear narratives, process maps and supporting documentation
* Identify control gaps, weaknesses or poor practice and challenge constructively
* Track control issues, agreed actions, remediation plans and closure evidence
Core Finance Process Controls
You will work across multiple end‑to‑end finance processes, including:
Order to Cash
* Controls over billing, fees and commission processing
* Cash allocation and customer reconciliations
Purchase to Pay
* Controls over supplier statements and payment runs
Treasury
* Controls over the banking process and payment runs
* Reconciliations and investigation of reconciling items
Record to Report
* Month‑end close controls
* Balance sheet reconciliations, including quality, timeliness and review
Audit, Risk & Compliance
* Take part in internal control reviews or assurance activity where required
* Maintain awareness of fraud risk and control failures
* Support external audit activity
Systems, Data & Reporting
* Work with finance systems to understand and improve manual versus system-based controls
* Maintain a strong data quality mindset
Stakeholder Management
* Partner with finance and non‑finance teams to embed effective, proportionate controls
* Explain controls in plain English and help teams understand why they matter
* Handle challenge and pushback professionally while holding the line on control standards
* Balance multiple priorities and deadlines in a multi‑entity environment
About You
Essential Experience
* Background in finance operations (e.g. Record to Report, AP, AR, O2C, P2P or similar)
* Experience documenting processes or controls using process maps, narratives or flowcharts
* Comfortable reviewing existing processes and identifying control weaknesses
* Experience working with finance or ERP systems and understanding end‑to‑end finance flows
* Confident working across multiple entities and stakeholders
Desirable Experience
* Experience working with financial controls, reconciliations or finance process governance
* Exposure to audit, controls or assurance frameworks
* Experience supporting external audit
Qualifications
* Qualified or part‑qualified accountant, or studying towards AAT, ACA, ACCA or CIMA
* Controls, audit or risk-related training or certification is beneficial but not essential
