About Roche Services Americas (RSS Americas)
Roche Services Americas is one of Roche's strategic Shared Services Centers worldwide, providing comprehensive Finance, Procurement, and operational services to various countries throughout the Americas region. Our shared services model delivers efficiency, consistency, and excellence across complex, multi-country operations while maintaining the flexibility to meet unique local requirements.
Located in San José, Costa Rica, RSS Americas serves as a vital hub connecting Roche entities across North, Central, and South America. Our team of finance professionals brings together diverse expertise, languages, and cultural perspectives to deliver seamless service to our internal customers across multiple time zones and regulatory environments.
Within RSS Americas, the Treasury function plays a critical role in managing cash, liquidity, foreign exchange, and banking relationships that enable Roche's business operations throughout the region. Our treasury operations ensure that cash is available where and when needed, foreign exchange risks are managed appropriately, banking relationships are optimized, and financial transactions are processed accurately and efficiently in compliance with corporate policies and local regulations.
The Position: Treasury Accounting Analyst
As the Treasury Analyst for RSS Americas in Costa Rica, you will execute daily Treasury operational activities that are fundamental to Roche's financial operations across the Americas region. This critical role ensures the accuracy and timeliness of cash management, bank reconciliations, and treasury reporting while maintaining adherence to agreed service levels and compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for treasury processes.
Your responsibilities extend beyond routine transaction processing to encompass analytical thinking, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. You'll continuously contribute to enhancing RSS performance by proposing process and system enhancements based on your operational insights and identification of efficiency opportunities. Your role serves as the operational backbone of treasury activities, ensuring liquidity is managed effectively, cash positions are accurately reported, and treasury transactions are processed with precision and control.
This position offers exceptional exposure to international treasury operations spanning multiple countries, currencies, and banking systems. You'll develop comprehensive treasury expertise while working with sophisticated banking platforms, ERP systems, and treasury management systems. Your bilingual capabilities in English and Spanish are essential for daily operations, with additional languages (Portuguese, French) providing opportunities to expand your scope and impact.
Working within a collaborative shared services environment, you'll partner with treasury teams globally, country finance organizations, and banking partners to ensure seamless treasury operations. Your contributions directly impact Roche's ability to fund operations, optimize cash positions, manage financial risks, and maintain strong banking relationships across the Americas region.
Based in Roche's modern shared services center in Sabana Norte, San José, you'll join a dynamic, multicultural team committed to operational excellence, continuous learning, and professional growth. This permanent, full-time position offers stability, comprehensive benefits, and clear career progression opportunities within Roche's global treasury and finance organization.
Core Responsibilities
Daily Cash Management and Bank Posting
You will execute daily bank posting activities that ensure all banking transactions are accurately recorded in Roche's financial systems. Your daily cash management responsibilities include downloading and processing electronic bank statements from multiple banking partners, posting bank transactions to appropriate general ledger accounts using automated and manual processes, controlling automated bank interfaces to ensure data flows correctly between banking platforms and ERP systems, performing manual corrections when automated interfaces fail or require adjustment, and ensuring timely posting of all treasury transactions to meet reporting deadlines.
Your bank posting expertise requires understanding of bank statement formats and SWIFT messaging, cash application and allocation principles, automated cash posting configurations and exception handling, general ledger account structures for treasury transactions, and system workflows connecting banking platforms to SAP or other ERP systems.
Daily cash positioning represents a critical output of your work. You'll monitor cash balances across multiple bank accounts and currencies, identify excess cash positions for potential investment, flag cash shortfalls requiring funding, coordinate with country finance teams on cash needs, and provide accurate, timely cash position information to treasury management.
Managing multiple currencies and banking relationships requires meticulous attention to detail and systematic workflows. You'll process transactions in USD, local Latin American currencies, and potentially EUR, GBP, and other major currencies, work with various banking platforms and online banking systems across different banks and countries, understand cut-off times for different payment types and currencies, coordinate same-day value transactions when urgent funding is required, and maintain comprehensive documentation supporting all treasury transactions.
Bank Reconciliation and Account Clearing
You will complete the reconciliation of bank and bank suspense Balance Sheet accounts with accuracy and timeliness, ensuring all bank account clearings are performed properly. Your reconciliation responsibilities include matching bank statements to general ledger balances for all bank accounts, identifying and investigating reconciling differences, clearing bank suspense accounts by identifying underlying transactions and posting corrections, resolving timing differences between bank and book records, investigating and clearing aged items that remain unreconciled, and documenting reconciliation results with comprehensive supporting evidence.
Bank suspense account management requires investigative skills and persistence. You'll analyze transactions posted to suspense accounts to determine proper classification, research unclear or incomplete transaction information using banking platforms and communications with banks, coordinate with country finance teams to clarify transaction purposes, post clearing entries to move items from suspense to proper accounts, and prevent suspense account build-up through proactive monitoring and timely clearing.
Your reconciliation work ensures financial statement accuracy by confirming bank account balances are correctly stated, identifying errors in cash recording or classification, detecting potential fraud or unauthorized transactions, supporting external audit requirements for bank confirmations and reconciliations, and providing assurance to management regarding cash and bank balance integrity.
Effective reconciliation practices you'll implement include performing reconciliations on established frequencies (daily, weekly, monthly depending on account activity and importance), following standardized reconciliation templates and procedures, maintaining detailed workpapers supporting reconciliation conclusions, escalating significant reconciling items or potential issues to management, and continuously improving reconciliation processes to increase efficiency and reduce manual effort.
Financial Analysis and Reporting
You will conduct cash flow analysis and control activities that provide insights into cash movements and enable effective liquidity management. Your cash flow analysis includes monitoring daily, weekly, and monthly cash flows by entity and currency, analyzing cash receipts and disbursements to identify trends and variances, forecasting near-term cash positions based on expected receipts and payments, identifying seasonal patterns and cyclical trends in cash flows, and preparing cash flow reports and dashboards for management review.
Intercompany reconciliation and reporting represents a specialized and technically demanding aspect of treasury operations. You'll reconcile intercompany loan balances between lending and borrowing entities, confirm intercompany interest calculations and accruals, prepare intercompany reconciliation reports showing balance confirmations and discrepancies, investigate and resolve intercompany reconciling differences working with multiple country finance teams, and ensure intercompany balances eliminate properly in consolidation reporting.
Foreign exchange (FX) revaluation activities ensure that foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are properly valued at period-end. You'll execute monthly FX revaluation processes in SAP or other systems, apply appropriate exchange rates from approved sources, calculate and post revaluation gains and losses, prepare FX revaluation reports for financial reporting, analyze FX impacts and significant movements, and ensure compliance with accounting standards (IAS 21/ASC 830) for foreign currency translation.
Additional reporting activities you'll manage include preparing daily cash position reports for management and country finance teams, creating monthly treasury reports summarizing banking activity, fees, and KPIs, generating regulatory reports for banking and treasury compliance, providing data and analysis for working capital management, supporting budget and forecast processes with treasury inputs, and responding to ad-hoc reporting requests from stakeholders.
Your analytical capabilities enable you to identify unusual transactions or trends requiring investigation, explain variances between actual and expected cash flows, recognize opportunities for cash optimization or cost reduction, translate data into meaningful insights for decision-making, and present complex treasury information clearly to non-treasury audiences.
Operational Support and Communication
You will efficiently handle all incoming calls and emails in a timely manner, providing responsive, professional service to internal and external stakeholders. Your communication responsibilities include responding to inquiries from country finance teams about treasury transactions, balances, and processes, coordinating with banking partners on transaction issues, account maintenance, and service requests, collaborating with IT and system teams on interface issues or system enhancements, engaging with external auditors on treasury-related audit requests, and escalating complex issues appropriately to senior treasury staff or management.
Effective communication in a shared services environment requires understanding of customer service excellence principles, clear written communication across email and documentation, professional phone etiquette and verbal communication, ability to explain technical treasury concepts to non-specialists, patience and empathy when stakeholders are frustrated or confused, and proactive communication about issues, delays, or changes.
Your multilingual capabilities are essential for effective communication. Fluency in English and Spanish enables you to serve the full Americas region effectively, communicate with banking partners in local languages, understand contracts and agreements in both languages, and facilitate smooth interactions across linguistic boundaries. Additional proficiency in Portuguese expands your ability to support Brazilian operations, while French language skills enable support for French-speaking Caribbean countries and stakeholders.
Building strong relationships with stakeholders enhances your effectiveness. You'll develop trusted partnerships with country finance teams you support, establish rapport with banking relationship managers, collaborate effectively with global treasury colleagues in other shared services centers, work constructively with IT and process teams, and demonstrate reliability and follow-through that builds confidence in treasury operations.
Collaboration and Continuous Improvement
You will proactively seek opportunities for effective cooperation between team members, regardless of country or functional assignments, fostering a collaborative culture within RSS Americas. Your collaboration includes sharing knowledge and best practices across the team, supporting colleagues during high-volume periods or absences, participating in team meetings and knowledge-sharing sessions, mentoring newer team members as you gain experience, and contributing to positive team morale and engagement.
Continuous improvement represents a core responsibility and expectation. You'll continuously contribute to improving RSS performance by identifying inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or pain points in current treasury processes, proposing process enhancements that increase efficiency, reduce errors, or improve controls, recommending system improvements that leverage technology capabilities, implementing best practices observed from other organizations or benchmarks, participating in process improvement projects and working groups, and measuring and tracking benefits delivered by improvements implemented.
Your improvement mindset drives innovation through questioning "why do we do it this way?" constructively, piloting new approaches and documenting results, sharing lessons learned from both successes and failures, staying current with treasury technology and automation trends, and maintaining openness to change and different ways of working.
Specific improvement areas where you may contribute include automating manual processes through RPA or system enhancements, standardizing procedures across different countries or entities, improving reconciliation templates and tools, enhancing reporting dashboards and analytics, streamlining communication and handoff processes, and implementing preventive controls that catch errors before they occur.
Compliance and Ethical Standards
You will display high integrity and comply with all Roche guidelines, policies, and procedures governing treasury operations. Your compliance responsibilities include adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all treasury processes, following approval and authorization requirements per delegation of authority, maintaining confidentiality of sensitive financial information, complying with anti-fraud and anti-money laundering requirements, reporting suspected policy violations or unethical behavior, and participating in compliance training and awareness programs.
Internal controls over treasury operations protect Roche's assets and ensure accurate financial reporting. You'll maintain proper segregation of duties in treasury processes, follow maker-checker or dual control procedures for critical transactions, document exceptions and obtain proper approvals, verify bank account information to prevent payment fraud, protect system access credentials and authentication tools, and participate in control testing for internal and external audits.
Regulatory compliance in treasury operations includes understanding local banking regulations affecting treasury activities, complying with foreign exchange control regulations where applicable, adhering to tax withholding requirements for cross-border payments, supporting regulatory reporting and filings as required, and staying informed about regulatory changes affecting treasury operations.
Your integrity and ethical judgment guide decisions about processing unusual transactions, escalating potential compliance concerns, protecting confidential information, treating all stakeholders fairly and consistently, and maintaining professional standards even under pressure.
Flexibility and Special Projects
You will perform various assignments in a flexible manner as business needs warrant, demonstrating adaptability and willingness to contribute beyond defined responsibilities. Your flexibility includes taking on special projects outside routine treasury operations, providing backup coverage for colleagues in adjacent functions, supporting system implementations or upgrades, assisting with year-end close or audit activities, and adapting to changing priorities and urgent requests.
Special projects provide opportunities for professional growth and expanded impact. You might participate in treasury system implementation or migration projects, contribute to harmonization of processes across countries, support merger and acquisition integration activities, assist with policy and procedure documentation updates, or represent treasury in cross-functional initiatives.
Your adaptability enables you to handle unexpected challenges and changes, learn new processes or systems quickly, adjust work schedules to accommodate global teams when necessary, maintain positive attitude during periods of change or uncertainty, and balance multiple priorities without sacrificing quality.
