THE ROLE
You will run the day-to-day finance function of one/two of the companies in the Group: the ledger, the reconciliations, the invoices raised as engagements complete, and the monthly reporting that management and our auditors rely on. It is a broad role in a small team - you will see the whole cycle rather than one slice of it, and you will own your accounts end to end.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Transactions & Ledger
- Manage daily financial transactions, including accounts payable and receivable, with accurate posting to the general ledger.
- Process business transactions across both our in-house system and Xero.
- Generate, process and issue invoices promptly on completion of engagements.
- Calculate and reconcile customer and supplier account balances.
- Perform daily and monthly bank reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies.
Month-End & Reporting
- Execute month-end closing activities and maintain the closing schedule.
- Account for prepayments, accruals and fixed assets to support monthly and annual finalisation.
- Prepare trial balances and support the preparation of financial statements.
- Prepare monthly management reports and produce reports from the accounting system as required.
Compliance & Audit
- Prepare and support the timely submission of quarterly GST filings and other tax returns.
- Maintain accounting records and documentation in compliance with internal controls and procedures.
- Support auditors through the audit process with schedules, documents and explanations.
Projects
- Participate in ad-hoc finance projects and systems testing as the firm's platforms develop.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Essential
- Advanced Diploma or Degree in Accountancy or a related discipline.
- At least 2 - 3 years of relevant accounting experience, including handling a full set of accounts through month-end close.

- Good command of written and spoken English.
Advantageous
- Familiarity with GST filing, fixed asset registers and audit preparation in Singapore.
- Involvement in a finance systems implementation or user acceptance testing.
- Working towards a professional qualification (e.g. ACCA, ISCA).
HOW YOU WORK
- Proactive and responsible - you raise the discrepancy rather than wait to be asked about it.
- Effective at problem-solving on your own before escalating.
- Comfortable owning a deadline in a small team where there is no second person to catch it.
- Accurate under month-end and year-end pressure.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Structured six-month onboarding with weekly check-ins and monthly evaluations, so you know where you stand before the review, not at it.
- Medical and dental benefits upon confirmation.
- Annual salary review and performance-based bonus.
- Professional development, including support towards a professional qualification.
WORK ARRANGEMENTS
- On-site at Tanjong Pagar. This is an in-person role.
