About Allica Bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
Department Description
The Finance & Treasury function covers a broad spectrum of financial responsibilities for the Bank. Under the leadership of the CFO and the finance department heads, the team is responsible for:
- Equity raising and investor relations
- Treasury and liquidity management
- Prudential risk and regulatory reporting
- Financial reporting and accounting
- Financial planning
- Tax management activities
Role Description
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced financial control professional to lead our controls transformation and maturity program. This role would suit someone who has trained in a Big 4/Top 10 accountancy firm and has PQE in a SOX, controls advisory, or even an internal audit team either in-house or in a consultancy capacity. This role will work closely with a wider finance transformation programme that is focused on automation, dataflows, and process improvement.
Principal Accountabilities
- Develop and execute the financial controls programme/strategy across the Bank
- Perform walkthroughs of existing processes and controls
- Prepare process and data flow documentation and work with the wider Finance Transformation team to identify opportunities for automation
- Facilitate the ongoing maintenance of the Finance and Treasury risk and control self-assessments, working closely with the wider 1LoD Controls team
- Design, develop, and implement controls that appropriately address identified risks
- Assess gaps in the existing control environment through regular testing of control design adequacy and operating effectiveness, with ongoing oversight of remedial actions
- Collaborate with 2nd line and 3rd line of defence to establish process and policies in alignment with Allica’s Risk Management Framework
- Support the Finance Director and wider finance in assessing resource gaps and constraints
