We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager to independently manage the overall finance function of one or more incubation and high-growth projects.

This is a hands‑on and business-oriented role. You will be involved from the early stage of new projects, building finance processes and systems from the ground up, partnering closely with business leaders, and taking direct responsibility for the financial health and performance of the assigned projects.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End Financial Management of Incubation Projects

Take overall responsibility for the finance function of assigned projects from the initial launch and incubation stage through business growth and scaling.

Build and implement appropriate financial management frameworks, accounting processes, and reporting systems aligned with the project’s development stage.

Develop project budgets, monitor budget utilization and financial performance, and conduct variance analysis.

Act as the finance business partner to project leaders and Group management, providing insights on financial health, cash efficiency, profitability, and business performance.

Provide timely financial recommendations to support business expansion, resource allocation, and strategic adjustments.

2. Financial Reporting & Business Decision Support

Oversee day-to-day accounting activities and ensure accurate, compliant, and timely financial reporting.

Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, management reports, and financial analysis.

Translate financial data into meaningful business insights and recommendations for senior management.

Provide stage-appropriate advice on cost control, resource optimization, and profitability improvement.

Monitor cash flow, working capital, and funding requirements of assigned projects.

Develop reasonable tax planning strategies while ensuring full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Identify and manage potential tax and financial risks.

4. Internal Controls, Governance & Compliance

Establish and continuously improve financial policies, internal controls, and processes suitable for early-stage and growing businesses.

Ensure financial operations comply with Group governance requirements, local regulations, accounting standards, and external audit requirements.

Lead annual audits and other financial compliance projects.

Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, regulatory authorities, and other external stakeholders as required.

5. Team Management & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Lead, manage, and develop finance team members, improving professional capabilities and operational efficiency.

Work closely with Business, HR, Legal, IT, and other functions to provide timely financial support.

Promote a commercially focused finance culture and ensure finance is an effective business partner rather than solely a reporting function.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or above in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related discipline. Master’s degree or MBA is a plus.

6–8+ years of relevant finance/accounting experience, with at least 3 years of team management experience.

Experience with Big 4 firms and/or professional qualifications such as CPA, ACCA, CMA is highly preferred.

Proven experience in building financial systems and processes from scratch and independently supporting new businesses from incubation through growth and scaling.

Strong knowledge of local accounting standards, tax regulations, and IFRS.

Hands‑on experience with financial systems such as SAP, Oracle, QuickBooks, or similar platforms.

Advanced Excel skills and strong financial modeling capabilities are preferred.

Strong commercial acumen with the ability to connect financial performance with business operations and strategic decisions.

Excellent communication, leadership, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.

Highly independent, proactive, and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast‑paced and evolving environment.

What You Will Do
