We are known for combining professionalism, speed, strong technical standards, and exceptional client service.

As we continue to expand, we are looking for an experienced and highly dependable Senior Accounts Executive to join our Accounting team.

This role is ideal for someone who already has solid full-set accounting experience and is ready to take greater ownership of client portfolios, handle more complex accounting matters, and progress towards a supervisory or management role.

If you are technically strong, organised, accountable, and enjoy working in a fast-paced professional environment, we would love to hear from you.

• Prepare and review full sets of accounts, including balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow statements, and supporting schedules

• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual management accounts

• Perform bank reconciliations and reconcile balance sheet accounts

• Handle accruals, prepayments, depreciation, intercompany balances, and other accounting adjustments

• Prepare financial statements and supporting schedules

• Prepare and review GST computations and submissions

• Prepare audit schedules and liaise with auditors on accounting queries

• Review clients' accounting records for discrepancies, missing information, and unusual transactions

• Communicate directly with clients to resolve accounting matters and obtain outstanding documents

• Ensure assigned accounting jobs are completed accurately and within agreed timelines

• Monitor the progress of your portfolio and proactively follow up on outstanding matters

• Review work prepared by junior team members where required

• Provide guidance and technical support to Accounts Executives

• Assist managers with more complex accounting assignments and client matters

• Identify accounting issues early and elevate material matters appropriately

• Maintain proper working papers and supporting documentation

• Work closely with Tax, Corporate Secretarial, and other internal teams where necessary

• Use accounting software, technology, automation, and AI tools to improve productivity and accuracy

• Contribute ideas to improve accounting workflows, processes, and internal controls

What We’re Looking For

You should ideally have:

• Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline

• At least 3 years of relevant accounting experience

• Strong experience preparing full sets of accounts independently

• Experience in an accounting firm, corporate services firm, or outsourced accounting environment will be highly advantageous

• Good knowledge of Singapore accounting practices and financial reporting requirements

• Practical experience with GST preparation and submission

• Experience preparing financial statements and audit schedules

• Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or similar platforms

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills

• Good analytical and problem-solving ability

• Strong attention to detail and numerical accuracy

• Ability to manage multiple client portfolios and deadlines independently

• Good written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to communicate confidently and professionally with clients

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability

Experience reviewing junior accountants' work or providing guidance to team members will be an added advantage.

The Kind of Person Who Will Do Well Here

You are likely to thrive at Margin Wheeler if you:

• Take ownership of your portfolio and do not need constant chasing

• Are capable of identifying and resolving accounting issues independently

• Care about both accuracy and turnaround time

• Are comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-moving environment

• Communicate proactively when you foresee a delay or problem

• Are willing to guide and support junior team members

• Are receptive to feedback and constantly look for ways to improve

• Enjoy using technology and AI to make accounting work more efficient

• Want your performance and contribution to directly influence your career progression

• Are looking to progress beyond an individual contributor role

We value people who are technically competent, reliable, commercially aware, efficient, and willing to take responsibility.

Why Join Margin Wheeler?

Accelerated Career Progression

For strong performers, the Senior Accounts Executive role can be a stepping stone towards:

Senior Accounts Executive → Assistant Manager → Manager → Senior Manager

Progression is based on your ability to deliver, manage responsibility, support the team, and demonstrate leadership potential.

You do not have to wait purely based on seniority.

Broad Accounting Exposure

You will work with companies across different industries, sizes, and stages of growth.

This gives you exposure to a much wider range of accounting scenarios than you would typically experience working in the finance department of a single company.

Develop Leadership Experience

As a Senior Accounts Executive, you may have opportunities to review junior team members' work, provide guidance, and gradually take on greater supervisory responsibilities.

This allows you to build the skills required to eventually move into management.

Technology and AI-Driven Environment

We actively explore AI, automation, and technology to reduce repetitive accounting work and improve productivity.

We want our accounting professionals focusing on work that requires judgement and expertise rather than spending unnecessary time on manual processes.

Clear Performance Expectations

We believe good employees should know what is expected of them.

You will have clear responsibilities, measurable expectations, and regular feedback so you understand how you are performing and what is required to progress.

Recognition for Strong Performance

Employees who consistently demonstrate strong technical ability, accountability, efficiency, and leadership potential will be given opportunities to take on larger responsibilities and progress within the company.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience and capability

• 5-day work week, Monday to Friday

• Annual leave entitlement with additional leave based on length of service

• Medical and dental benefits

• Regular performance reviews

• Training and professional development opportunities

• Exposure to a diverse portfolio of Singapore companies

• Opportunities for promotion and career advancement

• Opportunities to develop supervisory and leadership experience

• A modern workplace that actively adopts technology, automation, and AI

• Stable and established organisation with more than a decade of operating history
