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.

• 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.

What Success Looks Like

• Improved anticipation and management of SGX and regulatory requirements

• Strengthened banking confidence and stakeholder trust
