Senior Finance Controller

Work with global FP&A and analytical teams to support budgeting and rolling forecasting in Anaplan and Planful, including assumption management, scenario analysis, and risks/opportunities tracking.

Partner with Product, Banking, Ops, and Compliance to connect operational drivers to financial outcomes (unit economics, cost-to-serve, efficiency metrics, and investment trade-offs).

Improve KPI definitions, reporting cadence, and decision-useful insight (not just reporting).

Partner with regional and global teams to ensure systems, processes, and controls are ready for new products, regulatory requirements, and entity/geography expansion.

Drive process improvements and automation using practical tooling (advanced Excel, planning tools, improved templates/workflows).

Start as a senior individual contributor with an expectation to build out a team and/or manage external providers.

Solid understanding of the Wise finance ecosystem - who, when, where and how to get things done in a global environment particularly as it relates to accounting, finance set-up and implementation of new products and services

Regulatory reporting delivered on time with strong controls, documentation, and minimal iteration.

Annual statutory audit delivered on time with well-managed PBCs, minimal surprises, and clear issue resolution.

Tangible process improvements that reduce manual effort and increase accuracy as the business scales.

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

CPA strongly preferred.

Experience setting up and producing regulatory reporting for federal or state regulators and working directly with regulators/auditors.

Proven ownership of close processes, reconciliations, and financial reporting quality.

Strong knowledge of US GAAP (IFRS familiarity a plus) and mature financial controls.

Strong analytical and communication skills—able to translate complex finance topics to non-finance audiences and create crisp leadership narratives.

Comfortable operating in ambiguity, building scalable processes, and driving cross-functional alignment.

Strong working proficiency with Excel; hands-on experience in Anaplan and/or Planful preferred (or strong ability to ramp quickly).

FFIEC call report exposure.

Experience building finance infrastructure in high-growth, multi-entity, regulated environments.
