Senior Finance Executive, Group Finance

Reporting to the Finance Director in Singapore, you will be the hands-on execution backbone of the group finance function. Your core focus is accurate, timely bookkeeping and finance operations across the group: day-to-day accounting for the Singapore entities, data entry and bookkeeping support for the Hong Kong licensed entities, and day-to-day coordination with the outsourced accounting firm that maintains the books of the mainland China entity. The group is preparing to migrate to a new finance system, and you will play a key supporting role in the implementation — preparing and cleansing data, setting up master records, and testing workflows.

Finance System Implementation • Support the upcoming finance system migration: extract and cleanse historical data, prepare opening balances, set up vendor / customer/ chart of accounts master data, and participate in user testing. • Help document standard operating procedures and workflows on the new system after go-live. 4. Mainland China Outsourced Accounting— Coordination • Act as the day-to-day contact for the outsourced accounting firm in mainland China: collect and transmit source documents, track the monthly closing schedule and follow up on outstanding items. • Perform first-line checks on the reports and schedules returned by the outsourced firm, and flag discrepancies to the Finance Director for review. 5. Finance Administration • Support payment processing workflows, vendor on boarding records and the maintenance of finance trackers and filing systems. • Provide ad-hoc support on group reporting, due diligence document requests and other finance projects as assigned. Requirements • Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline (ACCA / CA pursuers welcome). • 3–6 years of hands-on bookkeeping / accounting experience, including full-set or near-full-set accounts. • Prior working experience in fintech, payments, or the broader financial services industry (e.g. payment institutions, e-money, remittance, fund services, banks or licensed financial firms). • Proficiency with at least one accounting system (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Odoo) and strong Excel skills. • Fluent business English and Mandarin — Mandarin is essential for daily coordination with the mainland China outsourced accountants. • Meticulous, well-organised and dependable, with a track record of meeting monthly close deadlines. Strongly Preferred • Experience performing bookkeeping for Hong Kong entities, or supporting HK audit and tax filing cycles. • Experience participating in an accounting system migration or implementation project. • Exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency environments with an overseas parent or regional HQ.
