Latam Financial Controller

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content accordingly. We have job posting: Title: LATAM FINANCIAL CONTROLLER (but we should not repeat job title as heading). Provide sections: About the role (Job Purpose). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications and Experience). Qualifications (maybe separate). Skills (maybe language, personal specs). Benefits (none given). Pay (none). Schedule (maybe location & working arrangement includes hybrid, travel %). We can include Schedule if we have info: hybrid working arrangement, travel 10-25%. That's schedule info. Benefits: none mentioned, so omit. Pay: none, omit. We must not create sections with filler. So include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also "Location" but not a heading; we can embed location in About or Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also avoid Job ID etc. We can include location in a short

  maybe. Let's extract content: Job Purpose paragraph: "Nord Anglia Education (NAE) is looking for a high-energy Regional Controller to help build and strengthen the finance function across its premium schools in Latin America. This is a rewarding, hands-on role for someone who wants to shape controllership, standards and systems in a highly decentralized, fast-growing portfolio. Reporting to the Finance Director LATAM, based in Miami, the LATAM Financial Controller supports school finance teams across the region, raising the quality of month-end close, balance sheet, intercompany and reconciliations, and strengthening the control environment. The role sets standards centrally, then teaches, coaches and learns alongside the schools to embed them. The role carries a strong systems and data focus, championing consistent use of Group platforms, improving data integrity, and supporting integration, standardization and centralization projects as the function scales. It will suit a proactive leader who influences without authority and thrives on building structure where little exists. The role would suit individuals used to working in Private Equity-backed, multi-site or fast-paced commercial organisations, and involves travel across Latin America of 10 to 25%." That's About the role. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Job Responsibilities" section. Need to preserve all bullet points. There are many sub-bullets under categories: Financial Control, Month-End and Reconciliations; Standardization of Processes, Systems and Controls; Integration Support; Systems and Data; Business Partnering and Stakeholder Management; Centralization and Transformation Projects; Standardization and Continuous Improvement. We should output each bullet as

• . Could group under headings? Not required; just list. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract bullet points: Under Financial Control, Month-End and Reconciliations: - Review month-end close across the LATAM portfolio, ensuring it is timely, consistent and high quality. - Review balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany balances and confirmations, and drive resolution of open and ageing items. - Strengthen the control environment across schools, embedding standard controls, review disciplines and clean audit trails. - Support Group component and local statutory audits, coordinating school responses and following findings through to closure. Standardization of Processes, Systems and Controls: - Design and roll out standard finance processes, policies, close calendars and reconciliation templates across LATAM schools. - Build common controllership standards that work across multiple countries while respecting local statutory requirements. - Identify process and control gaps, and lead continuous improvement in a highly decentralized structure. - Embed a shared way of working so that every school closes, reconciles and reports to the same standard. Integration Support: - Lead the finance integration of newly acquired schools, from opening balance sheet through to first clean close and full Group control and reporting standards. - Establish the opening balance sheet at completion, reconciling local completion accounts to the Group ledger and supporting purchase price allocation, fair value adjustments, goodwill, and deferred tax. - Reconcile the completion mechanism (locked box or completion accounts), including net working capital and net debt true-ups through to settlement. - Build and maintain full balance sheet reconciliation schedules for every account, evidenced and signed off. - Rebuild the fixed asset register and establish deferred revenue and fees-in-advance schedules reflecting the academic-year recognition profile. - Rebase accruals and provisions, including local statutory obligations (end-of-service, gratuity, PTU, severance), align AR aging and ECL provisioning, and bring leases onto balance sheet under IFRS 16. - Reconcile tax, statutory, payroll, and intercompany balances, confirming Group matching. - Map the local chart of accounts to Group and OneStream, and support ERP onboarding (Business Central standard, SAP where inherited) with data migration integrity. - Align local accounting policies to Group standards, roll out the LATAM Delegation of Authority, bank mandates, and segregation of duties, remediating single-approver and third-party payroll exposures. - Deliver the first clean month-end close under the Group calendar, producing the first management reporting pack and consolidation return. - Maintain an integration and controllership readiness tracker, escalate risks and blockers to the Finance Director, LATAM, and bring each entity to Group standards on an agreed, realistic timeline gated on evidenced completion. Systems and Data: - Act as regional finance lead for core systems (Business Central and OneStream), championing consistent and correct use. - Improve data quality and integrity across the portfolio, from master data to intercompany matching and reconciliations. - Support system and centralization projects, including migrations, upgrades and reporting automation. - Build reporting and analytics that give schools and the region faster, better financial insight. Business Partnering and Stakeholder Management: - Partner with school finance teams as a trusted advisor, teaching, coaching and raising the bar on controllership. - Learn from schools' local knowledge and feed it back into regional standards and improvements. - Provide the Finance Director, LATAM with clear, timely analysis on control health and close quality across the portfolio. - Build strong working relationships across Group Finance, Tax, Treasury and Audit. Centralization and Transformation Projects: - Participate in and help lead centralization initiatives, including shared service design and process migration. - Support transformation projects that move transactional and control activity onto common platforms and teams. - Bring a pragmatic, structured approach to change in a decentralized environment, sequencing work to manage risk. - Champion automation and efficiency across finance processes, reducing manual effort and error. Standardization and Continuous Improvement: - Ensure processes, controls and reporting stay aligned with local statutory, tax and regulatory requirements. - Maintain awareness of legal and regulatory change, and update standards, policies and systems accordingly. - Identify and implement process improvements that optimise finance operations across the region. - Share best practice across school finance teams so improvements scale beyond a single school. Now Requirements: The posting has "Job Requirements Qualifications and Experience" then bullet list. We need to separate Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: Job Purpose. - Responsibilities: list above. - Requirements: maybe overall requirements (like experience years etc). Could include "A minimum of 7 to 10 years of accounting and financial control leadership..." etc. - Qualifications: degree required, IFRS etc. - Skills: language, personal specs, systems capability, etc. - Benefits: none. - Pay: none. - Schedule: location & working arrangement (hybrid, based in Panama, travel 10-25%). Also location: Panama. We must not invent sections. So we will include Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content across sections incorrectly. Let's parse the "Job Requirements Qualifications and Experience" section: It says: "A degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a related discipline required. A minimum of 7 to 10 years of accounting and financial control leadership, preferably in education or multi-site service businesses. Strong technical controllership experience, including month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany and consolidation. IFRS and local GAAP reporting experience required. Statutory compliance experience across multiple legal entities and countries. Experience standardizing processes, systems and controls across a decentralized, multi-country structure preferred. Experience supporting acquisitions and finance integration preferred. Strong systems and data capability, experienced with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Navision) and OneStream, and advanced Excel. CPA, Contador Público or equivalent (CIMA, ACA, ACCA) preferred. Experience in the education industry or a multi-site industry preferred. Private Equity-backed or international company experience preferred." Then "Language, Personal Specifications": "Fluent in English and Spanish; Portuguese an advantage. A high-energy, proactive builder who influences without authority, and who both teaches and learns from school teams. Comfortable working in a highly decentralized structure and energised by helping to build the function. Takes ownership, strives to improve processes and add value, and maintains a high level of personal integrity." Thus we can map: Requirements: maybe the experience years etc? But we also have qualifications (degree). Skills: language, personal specs, systems capability. We need to decide what goes where. The instruction: Use headings for those categories. We should allocate content logically. - Requirements: could be the experience requirements (years, experience). Could also include "Strong technical controllership experience..." etc. But those are also qualifications. However we have separate Qualifications heading for degree, certifications etc. Skills heading for language, personal specs, systems capability. Thus: Requirements: "A minimum of 7 to 10 years of accounting and financial control leadership, preferably in education or multi-site service businesses." plus maybe "Experience standardizing processes, systems and controls across a decentralized, multi-country structure preferred." "Experience supporting acquisitions and finance integration preferred." "Experience in the education industry or a multi-site industry preferred." "Private Equity-backed or international company experience preferred." Also maybe "Strong technical controllership experience, including month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany and consolidation." but that seems more like qualification/skill. Might be better to put under Qualifications? But Qualifications heading is for degree etc. However we can include technical controllership experience under Qualifications as well. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The typical structure: Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education/certifications), Skills (technical/soft). We'll allocate: Requirements: - A minimum of 7 to 10 years of accounting and financial control leadership, preferably in education or multi-site service businesses. - Experience standardizing processes, systems and controls across a decentralized, multi-country structure preferred. - Experience supporting acquisitions and finance integration preferred. - Experience in the education industry or a multi-site industry preferred. - Private Equity-backed or international company experience preferred. Qualifications: - A degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a related discipline required. - IFRS and local GAAP reporting experience required. - Statutory compliance experience across multiple legal entities and countries. - Strong technical controllership experience, including month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany and consolidation. - CPA, Contador Público or equivalent (CIMA, ACA, ACCA) preferred. Skills: - Strong systems and data capability, experienced with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Navision) and OneStream, and advanced Excel. - Fluent in English and Spanish; Portuguese an advantage. - A high-energy, proactive builder who influences without authority, and who both teaches and learns from school teams. - Comfortable working in a highly decentralized structure and energised by helping to build the function. - Takes ownership, strives to improve processes and add value, and maintains a high level of personal integrity. That seems reasonable. Now Schedule: location & working arrangement: "This position is based in Panama, with a hybrid working arrangement. Candidates must be currently based in, or able to relocate to, one of
