Job description

Reimagine access. Reimagine ownership. Build the future with Cinch.

Cinch is Southeast Asia’s leading circular tech subscription company, redefining how people and businesses access technology. Instead of adding to the growing e-waste crisis, we enable affordable, sustainable access to devices through subscriptions that maximize reuse and extend their lifecycle. We operate across B2C, B2B, and B2B2C channels, including major partnerships with global leaders like Samsung. Our model sits at the intersection of powerful mega trends — sustainability, embedded finance, and the shift from ownership to access — creating a massive opportunity to reshape the future of tech consumption. At Cinch, we are builders with high standards, a bias for action, and a shared mission to create a generational company that outlasts us. Freshly funded by leading institutional investors and growing rapidly, we’re creating an environment where ambitious people can do the best work of their careers — and where the work has real, lasting impact.

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Accountant / Assistant Finance Manager to join our Finance Team. This hybrid role is ideal for an experienced finance professional eager to advance their career by shaping financial strategies and processes in a dynamic, tech-forward business environment. The role oversees daily accounting operations, financial reporting, and month-end/year-end closings, ensuring compliance with accounting standards. It supports financial planning through budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and performance evaluation for recurring revenue models like subscriptions and asset lifecycles.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations including GL, AP/AR, bank reconciliations, and journal entries.
• Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in compliance with applicable accounting standards.
• Ensure timely month-end and year-end close processes.
• Assist in budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis to support strategic decision-making.
• Analyze business unit performance, particularly for recurring revenue models (e.g., subscription services) and asset lifecycle profitability.
• Provide insights into revenue recognition related to device subscriptions, managed services, and trade-in programs.
• Revenue & Cost Management
• Monitor revenue streams and COGS across multiple business lines including subscriptions, trade-ins, and managed services.
• Track device depreciation and residual value forecasting to support full lifecycle asset management.
• Compliance & Controls
• Ensure compliance with local tax, audit, and regulatory requirements.
• Support the implementation and maintenance of internal controls and accounting policies.
• Liaise with external auditors and tax consultants.
• Process Improvement & Systems
• Assist in the development and optimization of financial processes and systems, including ERP or accounting platforms.
• Lead automation efforts to streamline reporting and improve data integrity.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA or equivalent qualification preferred.
• 5+ years of relevant accounting and finance experience, preferably in tech, services, or subscription-based businesses.
• Strong understanding of revenue recognition (IFRS 15/ASC 606), cost accounting, and asset lifecycle management.
• Proficient in financial systems (e.g., NetSuite, Xero) and advanced Excel skills.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience managing or mentoring junior finance staff is a plus.
