We are looking for an experienced Senior Finance Manager to own the controllership function for our Indonesia operations. This role covers end-to-end corporate accounting, tax compliance, regulatory financial reporting, and audit management across our P2P lending, balance sheet lending, and multi-finance businesses. Beyond the accounting mandate, this role serves as the senior finance authority in the Jakarta office — representing Finance in stakeholder engagements with regulators, auditors, tax authorities, and local leadership.  The role is hands-on and fast-paced — suited to someone who can lead a team while staying close to the numbers.

What you will do :

Controllership

• Own the end-to-end month-end close process — supervise daily transactions, enforce deadlines, and sign off on the final P&L and balance sheet
• Ensure all balance sheet accounts are fully reconciled with supporting schedules; zero tolerance for unreconciled items at close
• Maintain accounting records in compliance with PSAK, IFRS, and Group accounting standards
• Produce accurate monthly financial reports and reconcile to the core lending system
• Partner with FP&A on monthly variance analysis and management reporting
• Support group consolidation and group audit requirements across P2P, BS Lending, and Multi Finance entities

Tax & Regulatory Compliance

• Ensure full tax compliance (SPT, WHT, VAT) — accurate and on time, every period
• Ensure OJK regulatory submissions are complete, accurate, and filed within prescribed dea
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes; assess business impact and implement required adjustments proactively
• Own tax audit management — prepare documentation, coordinate with tax authorities, and resolve queries to closure; same rigour applied to OJK examinations and regulatory inspections

Audit & Statutory Reporting

• Manage external auditors and statutory reporting — own the audit timeline and deliverables
• Serve as primary point of contact for all audit queries; drive resolution of complex accounting and regulatory issues raised during audit
• Support group audit requirements across P2P, BS Lending, and Multi Finance entities

Office-Level Finance Leadership

• Act as the senior finance authority in the Jakarta office — the escalation point for accounting judgements, compliance issues, and regulatory matters arising in-country
• Manage and represent Finance in relationships with OJK, tax authorities, external auditors, banks, and other institutional counterparts
• Lead local finance stakeholder engagements; represent the Finance function credibly with Indonesia leadership and external parties
• Build and develop the accounting team — set clear expectations, coach supervisors, and drive performance

Requirements

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA (CPA Indonesia / ACCA) or Tax Brevet A+B required
• 10-12 years total experience: minimum 2 years in a Big 4 / mid-tier audit firm covering financial services, followed by 5+ years in-house senior controllership role
• Hands-on experience with Indonesian statutory reporting, OJK regulatory submissions, and tax compliance
• Solid command of PSAK (Indonesian GAAP) and IFRS, with demonstrated application in financial services — P2P lending, multi-finance, or banking exposure strongly preferred
• IFRS 9 ECL provisioning experience is a plus given the lending book complexity
• Experience managing month-end close cycles, balance sheet reconciliations, and supporting group consolidation
• Proven track record managing external auditors, statutory reporting cycles, and regulatory relationships independently
• Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, or equivalent); strong Excel modelling skills
• Prior senior people management experience — able to lead a multi-layer team and be accountable for overall function quality

Knowledge, Skills and Behaviors

• Technically authoritative — resolves complex accounting judgements (IFRS 9, deferred tax, intercompany) without needing escalation
• Controls mindset — treats reconciliation breaks and compliance deadlines as non-negotiable
• Hands-on leader — sets the standard, not just delegates; gets into the detail during close
• Clear communicator — translates accounting positions for non-finance stakeholders confidently
• Cross-functional — partners naturally with FP&A, Legal, and Ops outside of Finance
• Thrives under pressure — keeps output quality high in a fast-moving fintech environment
• Integrity and discretion — handles sensitive regulatory and financial matters with sound judgement
