We are looking for an agile, forward-thinking Financial & Operations Controller to oversee our complete finance stack: accounting, compliance, administrative operations, and treasury/forex operations tied to cross border remittances and payment gateway operations.

Beyond core financial governance, this role is a transformation mandate. You will inherit an operational team of 9 and actively redesign workflows around modern AI agents and workflow automation tools (e.g., automated bank/ledger reconciliations, AI-assisted AP/AR intake, automated FX settlement pipelines). The objective is to scale operations efficiently, reduce manual headcount dependencies, and establish lean, error-proof financial operations.

Treasury and FX Operations

• Forex Exposure & Liquidity Management: Oversee multi-currency treasury positions, daily liquidity requirements, and FX volatility risks essential to
  cross-border remittance settlement.
• Banking & Partner Relationships: Supervise bank reconciliations,
  correspondent banking lines, payment rails, and partner settlements to
  ensure compliance.
• Reconciliation & Settlements: Automate reconciliation and settle with all
  merchants on time.

AI Architecture & Process Automation

• Workflow Modernization: Audit existing manual handoffs across accounting,
  treasury reconciliation, and admin tasks; identify bottlenecks suitable for AI
  automation.
• AI Agent & Tool Integration: Implement and calibrate AI agents and automation tools (e.g., automated invoice processing/OCR, AI-driven reconciliation engines, LLM-based query handling, automated transaction
  tagging).
• Team Rightsizing & Change Management: Guide the transition from manual data entry to supervisory AI management, systematically consolidating roles and upskilling remaining team members as headcount needs reduce.

Accounting, Tax & Compliance

• End-to-End Financial Governance: Oversee month-end/year-end financial
  close, balance sheet hygiene, P&L reporting, and statutory audit readiness.
• Regulatory Compliance: Maintain full compliance with BIR requirements,
  SEC filings, and BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) reporting standards for remittance/fintech operations.
• Internal Controls: Establish clear financial governance, role-based approval
  limits, and anti-fraud protocols across treasury and payment execution.
  Document these as SOPs.

General Administration & Operations

• Office & Facility Oversight: Guide the administrative staff handling office
  vendor contracts, procurement, corporate supplies, and facilities management.
• Cost Optimization: Systematically audit OPEX and administrative overhead,
  renegotiating vendor terms and eliminating redundant manual services.
