ANZ Finance Senior Director
2 weeks ago
As the ANZ Finance Senior Director, you will have overall leadership responsibility for the Finance Function across BCG's Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) system and lead a team of approximately 14 finance professionals. As the ANZ Finance Senior Director, you will be supported by four Finance Senior Managers. You will dually report to the ANZ System Leader - who sets the business agenda - and into the Asia Pacific (AP) CFO, who oversees the finance function in the Region.
The finance function sets finance functional standards (e.g., accounting policies, tax policies), processes (e.g., the annual planning cycle, treasury systems), systems and controls, and supports the local commercial activities of the BCG Partners.
You will be a member of the ANZ Commercial Council (covering the full ANZ Geography, including specialty business units) and the AP Head of Finance Leadership team. Further you will participate in Finance Function initiatives e.g., participating in the Future Finance transformation. You will collaborate with other functions including Procurement, People & HR, Client Team, Marketing & Operations, etc. With the ANZ People Senior Director and ANZ Marketing & Business Operations Senior Director, you will help lead and grow a world-class business services team serving BCG ANZ.
YOU'RE GOOD AT
Strategy, decision support & analysis: Partnering with the ANZ System Leader and the Leadership Team, as well as the broader partner group, in commercial strategy, business development and financial decision making. You will play a major role in the overall governance of the business, including providing an objective view of performance, the integrity of control and policy and statutory compliance. You will also have responsibility for running the ANZ Geography annual finance planning and forecasting activities, in close collaboration with the digital and functional specialty units and People Team. You will contribute to the agenda and decisions in the Client Portfolio Committee (CPC, which drives business build and client service) meetings as a thought partner on finance and commercial strategy topics, such as identification of risk factors, coordination of investment process (in close collaboration with the AP Client Team and digital and functional specialty units), further refinement of investment principles, pricing decisions and communication to Partners.
Business Information & Analytics: Ensuring the business has the financial (and related) information and forward-looking analysis necessary to steer the business, whether by leveraging BCG's central information resources or providing locally. This includes leading accurate pipeline management through ClientView for the ANZ geography, in close collaboration with digital and functional specialty units.
Finance and Commercial Operations & Accounting: Overall accountability for the delivery of all financial operational activities in the end-to-end processes of lead-to-cash, source-to-pay, record-to report (local and US GAAP), hire-to-retire and cash management, with leverage from the ANZ Finance Managers. This includes running the monthly and annual accounting processes for in-market business units (e.g., DV, PLA, Gamma, etc). Of particular importance are activities with direct client impact including working with MDPs to agree on payment terms, MSA rate card negotiations (with Commercial Director), invoicing schedules and collections and transparency on client economics relative to commitments e.g., PVF, collections.
Finance Expertise Functions: Overall responsibility for ensuring financial and related compliance in Australia and New Zealand for all legal entities including accurate and timely local accounting statutory filings, complying with regulations and standards such as tax filings (corporate tax, indirect taxes (eg. FBT), transfer pricing, etc); to ensure that the business complies in full, with the local laws and regulations (with close interaction with external auditors and advisors) while also complying with the firm’s global policies. This will require significant collaboration with Global Treasury, Global Tax, Partner Services group, and the BCG Group Chief Accountant where BCG’s cash, tax and accounting strategies and policies are set.
A significant additional direct responsibility is working in partnership with BCG's Partner Services Group, and the ANZ People Senior Director, to ensure Partner Programs are properly executed.
Another key activity is to ensure awareness by local functions on risk management topics and to coordinate across the local functions involving internal risk audit assessments and action plans.
Business Services Leadership: The ANZ Finance Senior Director is one of three members of BCG’s BST Executive team (alongside the People Senior Director and Marketing/Operations Senior Director). As part of this team, you will play an important role in building strong internal functions and capabilities for BCG. Specific responsibilities include serving on the BST career development committee, contributing to BST policy decisions and being a visible role model for BST engagement/affiliation (e.g. via BST Forums, retreats). This role also involves close coordination with the BST Executive on headcount and broader budget planning to meet business needs.

- Operating as a leader within professional services, partnership, or similar matrix environments
