Job description

Brewer Morris is delighted to be working exclusively on a confidential search for a Group Financial Controller with a Singapore-headquartered high-tech organization with a significant international footprint.

The organization is entering an important phase of growth and transformation, bringing greater scale and complexity to its international operations. As part of the continued development of its senior finance leadership team, the business is seeking an accomplished Group Financial Controller to strengthen financial governance, reporting and controllership across the Group.

Reporting directly to the Group CFO and based in Singapore, the Group Financial Controller will play a central role within the finance leadership team, with responsibility for maintaining the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting across multiple entities and geographies. The successful candidate will work closely with senior management, finance leaders across the organization, external auditors and other key stakeholders.

The Group Financial Controller will lead Group consolidation, statutory reporting and the financial close process, while ensuring consistently high standards of accounting governance, financial controls and reporting discipline. The role will provide leadership on the application of relevant accounting standards and the appropriate treatment of complex accounting matters, while supporting the Group CFO on financial reporting to senior management and the Board.

A key priority will be strengthening and standardizing financial controls, accounting policies and Group finance processes as the organization continues to grow. The successful candidate will work closely with finance teams across different markets to improve the consistency, quality and efficiency of financial reporting, while leading relationships with external auditors and coordinating the annual audit process. The role will also contribute to finance transformation, systems and process enhancement initiatives and the continued development of finance talent across the organisation.

The ideal candidate will be a professionally qualified accountant or equivalent with substantial financial controllership, Group reporting and technical accounting experience gained within a complex multinational organization. Big Four training followed by strong in-house MNC experience would be particularly attractive. Experience within a listed or highly regulated environment would also be highly regarded, alongside experience managing complex multi-entity and multi-geography reporting requirements.

This is a compelling opportunity to take on a senior Group finance leadership mandate within a Singapore-headquartered listed global organization, working closely with the Group CFO and helping shape the evolution of financial governance, reporting and controls as the business enters its next phase of development.
