IMC

IMC's APAC finance function is growing materially. The HK entity cluster is expanding — more legal entities, more audits, more intercompany complexity — and that workload is landing on a Sydney-based team that is already running hard. This role exists to build genuine capacity: a second Finance Manager in Hong Kong who takes clear ownership of the HK and regional entity portfolio, works shoulder-to-shoulder with the existing Australia Finance Manager, and gives the team room to scale without breaking. This is not a support role. You will own a defined portfolio end-to-end — the month-end close, the regulatory calendar, the audit process, the intercompany structure — and manage one direct report from day one. The HK entities are distinct and growing, which means the scope of this role will expand as the business does. IMC approaches finance operations with the same technology-first mindset that drives our trading business. As Finance Manager, you will work in an environment where manual effort is actively being reduced — and where you are expected to contribute to that agenda, not just benefit from it. If you are intellectually curious about where AI is taking the finance function and want to help shape that in a real operational context, this is the right team. Your Core responsibilities: Month-End Close & Financial Control * Own the full month-end close cycle for the HK entity cluster and assigned regional entities, working to the team's structured timetable across pre, during, and post month-end tasks * Prepare, post and review journals across expenses, accruals, FX revaluations, IFRS 16 leases, intercompany, payroll, and revenue reconciliations * Own bank statement reconciliations and maintain clean clearing and suspense accounts * Reconcile all balance sheet accounts monthly and resolve differences through account certification * Review and approve journals and ad hoc bank transactions, escalating material items to the APAC Financial Controller * Support intercompany payment processes and associated reporting Regulatory & Statutory Compliance * Own the HK regulatory deadline calendar, including monthly FRR submission to the SFC and monthly market data reporting to HKEX * Manage the annual SFC submission package including financial statements — coordinating with external advisors to meet statutory deadlines * Oversee the annual HK Profits Tax Return and Provisional Profits Tax payment in coordination with external tax advisors * Ensure all HK statutory deadlines are tracked, escalated where needed, and completed on time Audit Management * Act as primary finance contact for the annual statutory audit of HK entities, managing the process end to end with external auditors * Prepare and provide audit workpapers, schedules, and supporting documentation to agreed timelines * Support internal audit requests across the APAC region as needed Intercompany & Transfer Pricing * Prepare monthly intercompany workpapers and journals for HK entities, reconciling to the consolidated trial balance * Support the APAC Financial Controller and external advisors on intercompany charge calculations and transfer pricing documentation * Maintain and update intercompany agreements as entity structures evolve Process & Systems * Work within the team's ERP (Workday) and financial systems — managing period opens/closes, running allocations, and ensuring clean period-end close * Identify and drive process improvements within the HK close cycle, contributing to the team's broader efficiency and automation agenda * Document procedures and maintain up-to-date process guides for HK-specific tasks Your Skills and Experience: * CA / CPA qualified (or equivalent), with 8–12 years of post-qualification experience in a financial control, accounting, or group reporting role * Hands-on experience owning a month-end close cycle in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment * Working knowledge of HK regulatory requirements — SFC FRR reporting, IRD filings, Companies Registry obligations, and MPF — or a demonstrated ability to get across complex regulatory frameworks quickly * Experience managing statutory audits and working directly with Big 4 or equivalent auditors * Expertise with IFRS accounting standards * Prior exposure to financial services, trading, or capital markets is preferred but not required * Detail-oriented with a strong control mindset — you notice when something doesn't tie and you don't let it sit * Comfortable owning a deadline-heavy calendar across multiple entities with competing priorities * Clear communicator who can work effectively with external advisors, auditors, compliance teams, and operational counterparts across geographies * An effective people manager who can direct and develop a direct report while remaining hands-on themselves * Self-starter who can operate with autonomy and knows when to escalate * Collaborative team player — the APAC finance team works closely across portfolios and covers for each other About Us IMC is a global trading firm powered by a cutting-edge research environment and a world-class technology backbone.
