Job description

Hello, let us introduce ourselves!

watchTowr is the Preemptive Exposure Management capability trusted by Fortune 500 companies and critical infrastructure providers.

By combining proactive threat intelligence, real attacker telemetry, and automated red teaming, watchTowr continuously identifies and validates real exposure - so security teams can outrun real-world threats.

When exploitation happens in hours, watchTowr delivers what no one else can: time to respond.

We are a global team of operators, researchers, and engineers who have spent years thinking like attackers - and we are now building the technology to stop them. Our work is recognised across the industry, with original vulnerability research from watchTowr Labs and innovations like Instinct and Attacker Eye shaping the future of cybersecurity.

Backed by $29M in funding, recognised by Gartner, and scaling fast across the globe, we are in a high-growth phase of our journey. We are a young, high-energy, and research-driven team, obsessed with building world-class technology - and we want exceptional people to join us.

But what’s the role?

We're looking for an Accounts Assistant to support the day-to-day finance operations of watchTowr across Singapore, UK, and US. This is a transactional and process-support role - you will own the accuracy and completeness of processing across AP, AR, payroll support, and GL reconciliations, working closely with the Financial Controller and reporting to the VP of Finance. The role is based in Singapore.

Sounds great – what will I do?

Accounts Payable

• Process all incoming invoices in Tipalti - coding, approval routing, payment scheduling - to agreed SLAs

• Maintain the vendor master list and GL reference table; own vendor onboarding in Tipalti including bank detail verification

• Reconcile AP ledger monthly; flag discrepancies before close

• Ensure zero out-of-system payments - flag exceptions immediately

Accounts Receivable

• Raise and send customer invoices accurately and on time, in line with contract terms

• Monitor AR aging and follow up on overdue balances

• Reconcile AR ledger monthly

Payroll Support

• Coordinate payroll inputs across SG, UK, and US to payroll providers on time

• Verify payroll output against inputs before submission to Finance Manager for sign-off

• Process employee expense reimbursements accurately and to agreed timelines

GL & Month-End Support

• Prepare standard month-end journals - accruals, prepayments, depreciation - under Financial Controller guidance

• Perform GL reconciliations; resolve open items before close

• Flag ambiguous GL coding to Finance Controller before posting

General

• Maintain audit-ready financial records across all entities

• Support the Finance Controller during audit fieldwork - retrieving schedules, supporting documentation, and reconciliations

• Flag process gaps or errors proactively - do not wait for review to surface issues.

Sounds perfect to me, what specifics are you looking for?

Core Skills

• Diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent

• 3-5 years of accounting experience in a multi-entity or regional finance function

• Hands-on experience with Xero required and Tipalti as a bonus

• Strong attention to detail — able to self-review before submitting

• Organised and process-oriented — able to follow a process consistently and flag when it breaks

• Comfortable working across time zones and communicating with remote teams

What we're not looking for:

• Someone who waits for errors to be found at review stage

• Someone who needs step-by-step direction on routine processing tasks.

What’s in it for me?

• Competitive compensation - we believe that hard work, skills and ambition should be fairly compensated.

• Meaningful role in a company - You will be a key and early contributor to a fast-growing cybersecurity business that helps protect some of the world's largest enterprises.

• The best tools and powerful kit - we enable you with the tools to effectively fulfil your role.

• Endless opportunities – we are in a high-growth phase of our journey, and plan to promote from within as we scale.

• Work with cyber security experts – we are solving cutting-edge industry-wide cyber security challenges with some of the world’s most advanced organisations.
