About The Position

The VP Financial Planning, Analysis & Reporting is a senior finance leader responsible for owning and driving Goway Travel's global financial planning cycle, management reporting, and analytical capability. Reporting to the SVP Finance, this role sits within the financial function and serves as the bridge between financial data and strategic decision-making—owning the story behind the numbers and challenging assumptions across the business. With scope across Goway's multi-entity, multi-currency operations spanning North America, The Philippines and Australia this is a hands-on, high-impact role for a commercially minded finance professional who can build robust models, produce clear and compelling reporting, and act as a genuine analytical partner to the SVP Finance, CFO, and business unit leaders. This role will have three core areas of responsibility: 1. Planning This role owns the annual budget cycle and rolling forecasts for the entire global business — coordinating inputs from all regions and entities into a single, coherent financial plan that the SVP Finance and CFO can rely on. 2. Analytics Where the SVP Finance ensures the numbers are right, this role asks what they mean. The VP FP&A translates global financial performance into insight — identifying trends, risks, and opportunities across markets and surfacing them clearly to leadership. 3. Reporting From monthly management accounts to Board and Advisory Board packs, this role ensures that the right financial story is told to the right audience, at the right level of detail — and that reporting across the global business is consistent, timely, and actionable.
