A senior finance officer from Sydney allegedly stole almost $1 million a year over an 11-year-period from the multi-national company he worked for - without anyone noticing.

NSW Police have charged the 36-year-old man with frauds valued at more than $10 million after being tipped off by the company a month ago.

It's alleged hundreds of payments totalling $10.3 million were authorised into personally-controlled bank accounts between 2004 and 2015.

The Beaumont Hills man was granted bail on Wednesday and is scheduled to appear at Parramatta Local Court in mid-January.
