Job Description

Why PayNet / Why Now

  • PayNet is scaling transaction volumes, regulatory expectations, and reporting complexity across the payments ecosystem.
  • Group-level financial reporting is becoming a strategic lever, not just a compliance activity.
  • This role exists to elevate finance from reporting outputs to decision-grade insight for leadership.

TL; DR

  • Lead the Financial Reporting squad's work allocation, review discipline, and output quality, while partnering closely with the Head of Financial Control.
  • Own the integrity, speed, and insight of PayNet Group financial reporting.
  • Lead group consolidation, monthly closing, and statutory reporting with Board-level visibility.
  • Shape how financial data translates into decisions, not just outputs.
  • Drive consistency, control, and clarity across accounting, budgeting, and reporting

Why This Role Matters

  • Financial reporting is not neutral, how numbers are interpreted influences decisions, priorities, and investments.
  • In a regulated environment, reporting quality directly shapes credibility with auditors, regulators, and the Board.
  • Weak accounting and financial reporting discipline leads to hidden discrepancies that compound over time.
  • This role requires judgment over process - deciding what matters, not just closing the books.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Coordinate reporting priorities, delegate work across the team, and ensure review quality before outputs reach management, auditors, or the Board.
  • Own end-to-end group consolidation and monthly close across entities, elevating accuracy, timeliness, and transparency.
  • Shape Board, management, and regulatory reporting packs into clear financial narratives and insights.
  • Lead statutory reporting, audited financial statements, and auditor engagement at group level.
  • Build and enforce strong accounting governance, controls, and consistency across GL, PPE, accruals, and reporting structures.
  • Drive financial analysis, variance storytelling, and performance interpretation beyond numbers.

Examples of This Role in Practice

  • Challenging budget assumptions when actual trends signal a different financial trajectory.
  • Leading audit discussions with confidence, resolving complex accounting positions.
  • Detecting and escalating early financial signals that influence strategic decisions at management level.
  • Streamlining month-end close timelines along with other priorities without compromising control and accuracy.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • Ability to lead a financial reporting team with clear priorities, disciplined reviews, and high-quality outputs under tight timelines.
  • Ability to own full financial closing and reporting cycles with high accountability.
  • Strong judgment in prioritising accuracy, timelines, and materiality in reporting decisions.
  • Ability to translate financial data into executive-level insights and narratives.
  • Deep grounding in financial reporting standards and group accounting.
