Lead the end-to-end financial reporting COE team, deliver high-quality statutory reporting, management reporting and ad-hoc financial analysis reports for APAC REMS FP&A and FBP Team. Take charge of full team management, reporting standard unification, reporting process automation, cross-regional high-level stakeholder alignment, and ensure all reporting deliverables meet global group requirement, local regulatory compliance and frontline FP&A business decision-making needs.
Key Job Responsibilities:
1. Operational Reporting Delivery & Quality Control (Core Accountability)
Oversee the end-to-end delivery of assigned reporting streams (e.g., monthly/quarterly closings, packs, or specific management reports). Perform senior-level technical reviews on complex consolidations, variance analysis, and ad-hoc requests before submission to ensure zero material errors.
Monitor daily team progress against the global reporting calendar. Identify potential bottlenecks early in the cycle and implement immediate corrective actions to ensure 100% on-time delivery.
Serve as the primary operational contact for assigned APAC REMS FP&A/FBP stakeholders. Handle routine query resolutions, clarify data discrepancies, and ensure smooth handover of final reports. Escalate complex strategic issues to the Reporting CoE Leader when necessary.
Maintain rigorous adherence to SLA targets (timeliness, accuracy). Conduct post-close reviews for the sub-team to identify near-misses and implement quick-fix controls to prevent recurrence.
2. Team Supervision & Technical Coaching
Manage the daily workload allocation for the 6-person sub-team. Balance tasks during peak periods (month-end/year-end) to ensure equitable distribution and prevent burnout.
Provide hands-on technical coaching and mentoring to team members. Conduct regular 1:1s to review performance, address skill gaps, and guide career development. Focus on uplifting the team’s technical accounting knowledge and system proficiency.
Foster a collaborative team culture. Resolve minor interpersonal conflicts and maintain high morale during high-pressure closing windows. Act as a role model for professionalism and attention to detail.
Assist the CoE Leader in identifying high-potential talent within the sub-team and recommending them for broader COE initiatives or promotion pipelines.
3. Process Execution, Standardization & Automation Support
Execute and maintain standardized SOPs for the sub-stream. Ensure all team members strictly follow unified report templates and data mapping logics to minimize manual intervention risks.
Identify inefficiencies in daily BAU processes within the sub-team. Propose practical automation solutions (e.g., Excel macros, Power Query improvements) and collaborate with the CI team or CoE Leader to implement them.
Contribute to the centralized error case library by logging defects found during reviews. Analyze trends within the sub-stream and lead targeted training sessions to address recurring technical errors.
4. Stakeholder Communication & Issue Resolution
Engage in operational syncs with frontline FP&A partners. Proactively communicate status updates on deliverables and flag data quality issues from source systems promptly.
Manage expectations regarding ad-hoc request timelines. Negotiate realistic turnaround times based on current capacity and escalate resource constraints to the CoE Leader if workload exceeds team capacity.
Support the CoE Leader in preparing materials for higher-level stakeholder reviews by providing accurate data insights and root-cause analysis for specific variances or anomalies.
5. Capability Building & Knowledge Sharing
Design and deliver technical training sessions for the sub-team on new accounting standards, system updates (PS/EPM/OCI), or reporting tool enhancements.
Cross-traing team members to ensure adequate backup coverage for key roles within the sub-stream, minimizing single-point-of-failure risks.
Continuously upgrade personal expertise in financial reporting standards (IFRS/US GAAP) and share best practices with the wider COE team.
