Modern Culture: High autonomy and a focus on output over hours. No corporate red tape.

Position Overview

We are looking for a Regional Finance Manager to act as the financial "GPS" for our growing portfolio of 3 Singapore companies and 1 Malaysia entity. You won't be stuck doing manual data entry; you will lead a nimble team of executives who handle the "grunt work," allowing you to focus on high-level strategy and regional growth.

• Strategic Oversight: Review and guide monthly management reports and group consolidation for our MY and SG entities.
• Regional Compliance: Oversee SST/LHDN (Malaysia) and GST/IRAS (Singapore) filings with the support of your team.

• Team Mentorship: Lead, develop, and hire key members for your finance department as we scale.

The Ideal Candidate

• Has 5–8 years of experience, with at least 2–3 years in a leadership/managerial role.
• Experience with Singapore reporting/GST is a major advantage.
• Independent, proactive, and looking for a "leadership" role rather than a "reporting" role.

Other Key Responsibilities

• Oversee preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements.
• Ensure accurate and timely closing of accounts.
• Maintain compliance with MFRS and regulatory requirements (e.g. LHDN, SSM, SST).
• Lead annual budget planning and forecasting processes.
• Monitor financial performance vs. budget, highlight variances and risks.
• Implement and improve internal controls and financial procedures.
• Ensure statutory filings (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, SST, income tax) are submitted on time.
• Manage company’s cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships.
• Oversee payments, collections, and financial risk management.
• Provide financial insights to the management team for decision-making.
• Support business expansion, cost control, and investment analysis.
• Supervise and develop the finance/accounting team.
• Liaise with external auditors, tax agents, and regulatory bodies.
