Descrizione del lavoro

Nova Cofoundery is seeking a Finance Accountant fluent in Japanese and English to join our client's finance team. You will own a defined part of the month-end close, keep ledgers clean and reconciled, and act as the finance point of contact for Japanese-language stakeholders, suppliers, auditors or colleagues in the Japan business.

Because much of the source documentation and local reporting is in Japanese, native or near-native Japanese is essential to the role.

• Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACCA/ACA/CIMA/CPA or 日商簿記 2級) or equivalent experience.
• Solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and core accounting principles.
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets).
• Experience with Sage or Oracle Fusion is a plus.

Mansioni

• Own end-to-end accounts payable cycle: invoices, PO matching, exceptions.
• Handle Japanese invoices and supplier correspondence in Japanese and English.
• Manage AP inbox and respond to supplier queries in JP/EN; chase missing docs.
• Prepare and post month-end journals: accruals, prepayments, provisions.
• Reconcile AP sub-ledger to GL; investigate and clear discrepancies.
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts (bank, intercompany, accrued expenses).
• Maintain GL; ensure accurate and consistent coding.
