SYD - 2026 - Senior Finance Manager

<h1>The Opportunity</h1> <p>IMC's APAC finance function is growing materially. The HK entity cluster is expanding — more legal entities, more audits, more intercompany complexity — and that workload is landing on a Sydney-based team that is already running hard. This role exists to build genuine capacity: a second Finance Manager in Sydney who takes clear ownership of the HK and regional entity portfolio, works shoulder-to-shoulder with the existing Australia Finance Manager, and gives the team room to scale without breaking.</p> <p><br>This is not a support role. You will own a defined portfolio end-to-end — the month-end close, the regulatory calendar, the audit process, the intercompany structure — and manage one direct report from day one. The HK entities are distinct and growing, which means the scope of this role will expand as the business does.</p> <p><br>IMC approaches finance operations with the same technology-first mindset that drives our trading business. As Finance Manager, you will work in an environment where manual effort is actively being reduced — and where you are expected to contribute to that agenda, not just benefit from it. If you are intellectually curious about where AI is taking the finance function and want to help shape that in a real operational context, this is the right team.</p> <p> </p> <h1>Key Responsibilities</h1> <p><strong>Month-End Close & Financial Control</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own the full month-end close cycle for the HK entity cluster and assigned regional entities, working to the team's structured timetable across pre, during, and post month-end tasks</li> <li>Prepare, post and review journals across expenses, accruals, FX revaluations, IFRS 16 leases, intercompany, payroll, and revenue reconciliations</li> <li>Own bank statement reconciliations and maintain clean clearing and suspense accounts</li> <li>Reconcile all balance sheet accounts monthly and resolve differences through account certification</li> <li>Review and approve journals and ad hoc bank transactions, escalating material items to the APAC Financial Controller</li> <li>Support intercompany payment processes and associated reporting</li> </ul> <p><strong>Regulatory & Statutory Compliance</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own the HK regulatory deadline calendar, including monthly FRR submission to the SFC and monthly market data reporting to HKEX</li> <li>Manage the annual SFC submission package including financial statements — coordinating with external advisors to meet statutory deadlines</li> <li>Oversee the annual HK Profits Tax Return and Provisional Profits Tax payment in coordination with external tax advisors</li> <li>Ensure all HK statutory deadlines ar
