Supervisor jobs in Singapore

At SFIR Consulting Ltd., we are on a mission to redefine accounting.

We believe accountants should be proactive, trusted advisors, not reactive service providers. Our clients rely on us year-round to help them make informed financial decisions that directly impact profitability, growth, and long-term stability. We combine 'Big Firm Expertise' with 'Small Firm Values' to deliver thoughtful, tailored solutions — and we take that responsibility seriously.

We are hiring one full‑time Accounting Supervisor to join our team.

The Accounting Supervisor plays a critical role in delivering on our mission. This role ensures our clients receive accurate, timely, and well‑reviewed work while also developing and supporting accounting professionals within the firm.

• Year‑end procedures, including coordination with external firms when required

You will:

• Supervise and mentor a team of Staff Accountants and Interns
• Conduct semi‑annual and annual performance reviews
• Set clear expectations, goals, and development plans
• Deliver training on accounting practices and systems
• Identify and address performance risks early
• Participate in hiring decisions and, when necessary, terminations

You will have access to sensitive financial data, systems, and client information, and are expected to handle all information with discretion and integrity.

You will:

• Review timesheets and monitor billable hours
• Approve expenses and manage assigned team budgets
• Maintain accurate task and project tracking in internal systems
• Ensure strong documentation across all internal platforms
• Approve team leave requests and oversee accrued balances
• Participate in weekly leadership and departmental check‑ins
• Communicate clearly and report to leadership

What We Are Looking For

These are non‑negotiable:

• Minimum 2 years of leadership experience with strong accounting and bookkeeping fundamentals.

• Intermediate to advanced experience in a widely used accounting system, including file review, troubleshooting discrepancies, and performing cleanups.
• Strong professional judgment and commitment to quality, accuracy, and compliance.
• Exhibits a strong ownership mindset, taking full accountability for client file accuracy, completeness, quality of review, and team performance.

Everything else — tools, templates, workflows, internal systems — we will train.

Compensations, Benefits, and Growth:

• Hybrid work environment (remote and in‑office)
• Competitive salary: $65,000 - $70,000 based on experience
• Comprehensive benefits package: Medical (including Rx), Dental, and Vision
