Job description

Our P&C Insurance customer is seeking a Financial Operations Lead to oversee and strengthen their company's core financial operations. This role is responsible for leading the month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring financial accuracy, maintaining robust internal controls, and driving operational excellence within the Finance team. Acting as a key leader, you will manage the day-to-day finance function, guide a team responsible for all BAU (Business-as-Usual) finance activities, and ensure the integrity and timeliness of financial reporting. The ideal candidate has a strong accounting and controllership background, deep experience in SAP Financials, and a hands-on approach to managing financial close and reporting cycles. This is not a transformation or strategy role, it's a leadership position for someone who excels in financial discipline, operational accuracy, and team leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Financial Operations

  • Oversee daily finance operations, including the full month-end and year-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and consolidation processes.
  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of the company's financial statements and compliance with accounting standards.
  • Manage and mentor a high-performing finance operations team, fostering accountability and continuous improvement.

Financial Control & Governance

  • Maintain strong internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures to ensure audit readiness and compliance.
  • Oversee balance sheet reviews, account reconciliations, and financial governance activities.
  • Partner with internal and external auditors to support audit processes and documentation.
  • Operational Excellence

  • Streamline and strengthen existing financial workflows to ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency in BAU operations.
  • Identify and implement incremental process improvements within the finance function (not transformation projects).
  • Collaborate with IT and other functions to ensure systems support accurate and efficient reporting and analysis.
  • Reporting & Analysis

  • Prepare, review, and deliver timely financial reports to senior management.
  • Support the CFO with financial insights, variance analysis, and data to guide decision-making.
  • Ensure SAP and reporting tools (e.g., Power BI) are effectively utilized to support accurate financial data flow and reporting.
  • Qualifications

    Education :

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required.
  • CPA or MBA strongly preferred.
  • Experience :

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in financial operations, accounting, or controllership roles.
  • Proven track record leading financial close processes for medium to large organizations.
  • Strong knowledge of SAP Financials (FI / CO) modules; hands-on experience managing financial operations within SAP.
  • Familiarity with reporting and analytics tools such as Power BI or Microsoft Synapse is a plus.
  • Experience managing and developing finance teams in a dynamic environment.
  • Skills :

  • Deep understanding of financial close processes, internal controls, and accounting principles.
  • Exceptional attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.
