101758-1 business consultant - intermediate.

In this critical role, you will support Finance Governance initiatives during a period of heightened regulatory-driven control reviews. This is a hands-on position requiring deep, practical expertise in assessing finance and business controls. Rather than a learning opportunity, this role demands a professional who can hit the ground running to evaluate design and operating effectiveness. You will serve as a strategic liaison between Finance, Treasury, Risk Management, and Audit, ensuring that control frameworks are robust, challenged where necessary, and remediated with precision.

Advantages
Senior-Level Exposure: Gain direct visibility within Finance Governance and Controls at an enterprise level.
High Impact: Influence governance frameworks and collaborate across Finance, Treasury, Internal Audit, Risk, and Compliance.
Hybrid Flexibility: Benefit from a modern hybrid work model supported by strong leadership.
Future Growth: This position offers the potential for contract extension or conversion to a permanent, full-time role.
Strategic Autonomy: Operate with a high degree of independence in a fast-paced, professional environment.

Responsibilities

Control Assessment: Lead and support finance and business control reviews, specifically assessing design and operating effectiveness.
Third-Party Oversight: Review, challenge, and provide detailed feedback on control testing performed by third-party providers.
Remediation & Monitoring: Identify control deficiencies, assess their impact, and rigorously monitor remediation activities.
Risk Management: Perform and support risk assessments across various Finance-related processes and portfolios.
Stakeholder Liaison: Partner closely with Internal/External Audit and Compliance to resolve issues and fulfill audit inquiries.
Subject Matter Expertise: Act as a credible advisor to Finance and Treasury stakeholders, ensuring controls meet both business and regulatory requirements.
Leadership & Guidance: Provide expert guidance to managers and team members on testing quality and governance best practices.

Qualifications
Experience: 10+ years of hands-on experience in governance, risk, and controls.
Designation: CPA or CA designation is mandatory.
Audit Background: Prior experience at a Big 4 or equivalent external audit firm is strongly preferred.
Industry Knowledge: Extensive experience within banking or large, complex financial institutions.
Technical Skill: Proven track record of performing or overseeing control design reviews and operating effectiveness testing.

Summary
This is an exceptional opportunity for a CPA/CA-designated professional with over a decade of experience to take on a high-visibility role within a major financial institution. If you are a governance expert who thrives in a fast-paced environment and possesses the "Big 4" pedigree necessary to challenge and refine control frameworks, we want to hear from you. This role offers the perfect blend of tactical execution and strategic influence.
