Finance Manager

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to own the end-to-end finance function for a growing fintech with operations in Singapore (HQ) and India (subsidiary). This is a sole-contributor role with broad scope: you will manage day-to-day finance operations, oversee our outsourced accounting vendors in both markets, and act as the finance business partner to leadership. The role suits someone comfortable operating at both detail level (reviewing journal entries, chasing invoices) and strategic level (cash runway, board reporting).

It sits alongside FP&A rather than under it. Your colleague owns forecasting, budgeting and business partnering. You own the actuals, the controls and the compliance. Between you, the Head of Finance gets a complete picture.

What you'll own

Month-end close. Full ownership across our entities. Journals, accruals, reconciliations, intercompany, and a close calendar people actually hit.

Statutory reporting and audit. Preparing the statutory accounts, running the audit process with our auditors, and being the person who knows where every number came from.

Consolidation. Group consolidation across three jurisdictions, including FX translation.

Transactional finance. AR, AP, billing and collections. Invoicing currently runs manually out of one person's inbox. You'll own it and you'll automate it.

Tax and compliance. Singapore GST returns, corporate tax coordination, and supporting the Head of Finance as required..

Systems implementation. You'll be hands-on in selecting and rolling out an accounting system and integrating it with billing and CRM. This is a build, not a maintenance job.

Controls and process. Documenting what we do, putting proper controls in place, and closing the gaps that come with having grown fast on manual processes.

Payroll coordination. Working with the People Function on payroll accounting across our entities.

What you'll need

Qualified accountant. CA Singapore, ACCA, CPA or equivalent.

Around 8 to 12 years  of progressive finance experience, including full-set accounting and management reporting; startup, fintech, or high-growth environment

Demonstrated experience managing outsourced accounting/payroll vendors and holding them to deliverables

Working knowledge of Singapore tax and statutory requirements; exposure to India compliance (GST, TDS, ROC, statutory audit) highly advantageous

Statutory accounts preparation and audit management.

Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; experience with cloud accounting platforms (e.g. Xero, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Zoho)

Multi-entity consolidation.

Comfortable as a sole finance operator: pragmatic, detail-oriented, able to prioritise across two jurisdictions with limited supervision

Strong communication skills; able to translate finance matters for non-finance stakeholders and senior leadership
