Job Description
The Opportunity
At Flywire, we process over $20+ billion in payments through our products each year. Ensuring accurate, timely cash reconciliation and robust regulatory reporting is critical to our growth, compliance, and strategic decision-making.
We are seeking a Director, Assistant Controller with deep expertise in high-volume, multi-currency cash operations and proven hands-on experience with reconciliation and automation tools. This is a pivotal leadership role — partnering closely with Treasury, Cash Management, Operations, and Product/Engineering to enhance reconciliation processes, implement automation solutions, and strengthen our control environment.
This is not a pure accounting or controllership role. The ideal candidate will bring a strong understanding of operational accounting, strong systems knowledge, and the ability to translate operational needs into scalable technology solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Global Cash Reconciliation
- Oversee daily, weekly, and monthly global cash reconciliation across 200+ bank accounts and multiple products/solutions.
- Drive improvements in accuracy, speed, and scalability of reconciliation processes, leveraging automation and AI where possible.
- Maintain and reconcile sub-ledgers to clearly identify client vs. corporate cash.
Automation & Systems Enhancement
- Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of cash reconciliation automation tools and other technology solutions.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to improve data integrity in core platforms, ensuring reconciliation needs are embedded into system design.
- Act as the operational “translator” between reconciliation teams and technical teams, ensuring requirements are clearly understood and delivered.
Regulatory Reporting
- Ensure accurate and timely reporting of cash balances and liabilities to regulators (FCA, MTL, MAS, BOL, etc).
- Oversee segregation, reconciliation, and reporting of client and corporate funds.
- Support quarterly call reports, regulatory examinations, and global/local audits.
Leadership
- Lead and develop a high-performing reconciliation and reporting team, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Coach the team to adopt automation and process optimisation best practices.
Qualifications
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; ACCA, CPA, or equivalent preferred.
- 7+ years in high-volume cash operations, reconciliation, or treasury environments, ideally in fintech, payments, or financial services.
- Proven hands-on experience with reconciliation automation tools (e.g. BlackLine, WorkDay, Oracle/NetSuite or other tools).
- Demonstrated success partnering with Product/Engineering teams to identify operational improvements.
- Deep understanding of global cash reconciliation, payment flows, and multi-currency operations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge operational and technical stakeholders.
