  • Drive timely bank reconciliations and play a hands-on role in month-end and year-end closing.
  • Process supplier invoices with precision and pace: accuracy matters, and so does speed.
  • Stay on top of customer payments and proactively chase outstanding receivables - cash flow is king.

  • Be the friendly face of HR admin: handle health insurance enrolment, leave tracking, and associate queries with warmth and efficiency.
  • Partner with finance to ensure salaries and reimbursements land on time - a happy team starts with reliable pay.
• Office Operations - Be the Pulse of Our Singapore Office
  • Run a tight, vibrant office: our workspace should energise the team and impress every visitor.
  • Manage supplies, vendors, and maintenance contractors: negotiate well, spend wisely, and keep the office running like clockwork.
  • Liaise with telco providers to ensure our connectivity is always on.
  • Support the leadership team with a "whatever it takes" attitude, from scheduling and travel to ad-hoc priorities that move the business forward.
  • Roll up your sleeves for ad-hoc projects.

What You Bring

• At least 5 years of hands-on and well-rounded experience in an accounts, operations, and HR admin role, ideally in a fast-paced environment.
• A natural multi-tasker who thrives under pressure and never drops the ball on deadlines.
• Comfortable working across Singapore, Malaysia, and India contexts - cross-border coordination is second nature to you.
• Strong command of MS Office (especially Excel); familiarity with accounting software such as Tally is a bonus.
• Exceptionally organised, with a sharp eye for detail.
• Excellent communicator with great people skills. You build trust quickly, work well across cultures, and bring positive energy to every room you walk into.

You Are Someone Who...

• Takes pride in precision: your documentation and numbers are always spot-on.
• Improves as you go: you follow processes but always look for smarter ways to get things done.
• Moves first: you spot a gap, own it, and close it without waiting to be asked.
• A team player who lifts others: your positive energy is contagious, and your colleagues notice when you're in the room.
• Gets things done: you measure success by outcomes, not activity, and you follow through until the job is truly finished.
