Job description

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) – SGX Listed Conglomerates

BuildBridge Partners Pte. Ltd. – Islandwide, SG

The Group CFO will lead the finance function, acting as a key strategic partner to the CEO and Board. This role carries full responsibility for financial governance, listed‑company compliance, stakeholder management, and using finance as a lever to drive sustainable business performance.

The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a high‑accountability environment, with strong exposure to board‑level engagement, banking relationships, and SGX regulatory requirements.

Key Focus Areas

• Explicit CEO & Board advisory role (listed-company board dynamics)
• SGX compliance emphasis (anticipation, disclosure readiness)
• Banking relationships & financing (local banks)
• Team (supported by FC / SMEs)
• Multiple BU / entity
• Building a finance leadership (stability)

Responsibilities

• Provide overall leadership and direction to the Group’s finance and accounting function, including financial control, reporting, treasury, tax, and consolidation.
• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and Board, providing clear financial insights, risk assessments, and strategic recommendations.
• Oversee group-wide budgeting, forecasting, and long‑term financial planning across multiple business units.
• Ensure robust financial governance, internal controls, and compliance with statutory, regulatory, and SGX requirements.
• Lead monthly and quarterly financial reviews, management reporting, and disclosures to senior management, Board, and investors.
• Manage group consolidation and reporting across multiple entities and operating units.
• Work closely with business and project leaders on financial evaluation, funding assessments, due diligence, and tax structuring (without being involved in day‑to‑day project accounting).
• Oversee treasury, cash flow planning, financing activities, and maintain strong working relationships with local and regional banks.
• Serve as the primary finance liaison with auditors, tax agents, legal advisors, regulators, and external stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement of finance systems, processes, and controls, including ERP optimisation and data‑driven reporting.

Requirements

• Degree in Finance, Accountancy, or related discipline, with a recognised professional qualification (CA, ACCA, CPA or equivalent).
• Experience in senior finance leadership roles, ideally within listed group environments.
• Strong exposure to SGX-listed company requirements, including board reporting, disclosures, and governance standards.
• Experience managing banking relationships, financing discussions, and liquidity planning, particularly with local banks.
• Demonstrated ability to operate strategically while remaining hands‑on when required.
• Experience leading sizeable finance teams across multiple functions (financial control, AP/AR, consolidation, reporting).

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established group that has navigated a challenging cycle and is now positioned for stability and growth. The CFO will play a pivotal role in shaping the next phase of the organisation, with real authority, influence, and visibility at the highest level.

Success Indicators

• Strong, proactive engagement with the Board and CEO.
• Improved anticipation and management of SGX and regulatory requirements.
• Strengthened banking confidence and stakeholder trust.
• Finance function positioned as a strategic enabler, not just a control function.
