Role Purpose

The Finance Manager, Business Partnering & Controllership (CPA) provides strategic and operational finance leadership across two joint ventures — GCFI (OFW/Seafarer Lending) and CCFI (Motorcycle Financing).

This role ensures accurate, compliant, and timely financial reporting, robust treasury and cash management, and strong internal controls. Beyond the numbers, the Finance Manager partners closely with the Finance Business Partner (FBP) and operational teams to deliver insights on performance, funding, and risk — driving informed, disciplined business growth.


Organizational Context
  • Manages two Accounting Supervisors (one per JV), each with staff handling Disbursements and Collections.
  • Provides oversight and final approval of key financial transactions within delegated authority.
  • Collaborates with Operations, IT/LOS, Corporate Treasury, Banks, and External Auditors to ensure data integrity, compliance, and smooth financial processes.

Key Responsibilities
1. Financial Control & Reporting
  • Lead the month-end closing for both JVs, ensuring full financial statements and supporting schedules are delivered within agreed timelines (FS package T+5, board inputs T+7).
  • Review and validate account reconciliations, trial balance accuracy, and variance analyses, providing clear budget–actual–forecast bridges.
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation and ensure intercompany reconciliations and mirror entries are complete within T+1.
  • Partner with the FBP on forecasting, performance tracking, and board-level analysis.

2. Treasury & Cash Flow Management
  • Oversee daily cash positioning, disbursements, and collections across both JVs.
  • Ensure cash forecasts (13-week rolling) are accurate and regularly updated; coordinate funding requests or capital calls with the FBP and Corporate Treasury.
  • Enforce dual control protocols, approval limits, and periodic bank access reviews to safeguard assets.

3. Controllership & Compliance
  • Ensure timely filing of BIR, SEC, and other statutory reports in full compliance with regulatory and internal policies.
  • Maintain a strong control environment across all finance processes, promoting accountability and audit readiness.
  • Coordinate external audits and tax reviews, ensuring prompt, complete, and accurate responses.
  • Drive process improvements that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.

4. Business Partnering & Decision Support
  • Partner with the FBP and Operations to translate financial data into actionable insights — focusing on cost control, productivity, and risk mitigation.
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and business planning activities with accurate financial models and variance analyses.
  • Provide recommendations on working capital optimization, credit risk, and profitability improvement.
  • Serve as a finance advisor to JV management teams, balancing financial discipline with business agility.

Qualifications
  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA) – required.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accountancy, Finance, or related field; Master's degree is an advantage.
  • Minimum 6 years of experience in accounting, controllership, or audit, with at least 3 years in a supervisory or managerial role.
  • Strong grasp of financial reporting, cash management, and compliance requirements (BIR, SEC, LGU).
  • Proven ability to partner with business leaders and communicate financial insights clearly.
  • Experience in lending, financing, or financial services industries is a plus.

Key Attributes
  • Analytical, detail-oriented, and process-driven.
  • Confident communicator who can influence and partner across teams.
  • Upholds high ethical and professional standards.
  • Proactive and adaptable in managing multiple entities in a fast-paced environment.
