Are you a forward-thinking finance leader who can turn accurate financial information into meaningful business insights? Do you enjoy developing high-performing teams, improving processes, and using technology to eliminate manual work and increase the impact of Finance? Join MathWorks as the Head of Corporate Accounting and Planning and play a key role in shaping how Finance supports business decisions, operational efficiency, and scalable growth.

This role is not a traditional controllership role focused only on accurate accounting. This role requires a leader who combines strong accounting judgment, financial analysis, operational thinking, and technology-enabled process improvement. The ideal candidate will build and lead a team that blends accounting expertise, analytical capability, business partnership, and continuous improvement to help the business understand financial drivers, identify risks and opportunities, and make better decisions.

MathWorks nurtures growth, appreciates inclusivity, encourages initiative, values teamwork, shares success, and rewards excellence.

Financial Reporting, Operational Accounting & Analysis

Oversee the monthly close-to-report process, ensuring timely, accurate, and well-controlled financial information.
Continuously evolve financial reporting to align with current and future business priorities, while maintaining a strong focus on controls, consistency, and data integrity.
Translate financial and operational data into actionable insights and recommendations for senior leadership.
Manage accounts payable operations, leveraging technology and process improvement to increase efficiency while maintaining appropriate controls and risk mitigation.

Financial Planning & Forecasting

Manage financial forecasting and planning processes, aligning financial goals with organizational objectives and business priorities.
Provide scenario analysis and business modeling to evaluate initiatives, operational investments, and changing business conditions.
Partner with business leaders to identify risks and opportunities throughout the year and assess the impact on financial results.

Technology, Automation & Process Optimization

Lead efforts to simplify, standardize, automate, and modernize finance and operational processes, reducing manual effort while improving accuracy, scalability, and user experience.
Collaborate with the Financial Systems Team, IT, and other stakeholders to identify and implement workflow improvements, system enhancements, reporting automation, and data integration opportunities.
Partner with stakeholders to create an integrated data and reporting environment that supports consistent definitions and analytics.

Proven experience leading and developing professional-level staff.
Strong accounting foundation with the ability to apply judgment to complex transactions, operational changes, and evolving business models.
Demonstrated ability to analyze financial and operational data and translate findings into actionable business recommendations.
Ability to explain complex financial and operational information clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all organizational levels.
A collaborative mindset with a willingness to partner, iterate, and adapt to support effective decision-making.
Experience improving processes, strengthening controls, and increasing efficiency in finance or accounting workflows.
Familiarity with ERP systems such as Oracle, with a strong understanding of their application in financial processes.
Experience working in a multinational corporate environment.
