Senior Finance Executive, Group Finance

Reporting to the Finance Director in Singapore, you will be the hands-on execution backbone of the group finance function. Your core focus is accurate, timely bookkeeping and finance operations across the group: day-to-day accounting for the Singapore entities, data entry and bookkeeping support for the Hong Kong licensed entities, and day-to-day coordination with the outsourced accounting firm that maintains the books of the mainland China entity.

The group is preparing to migrate to a new finance system, and you will play a key supporting role in the implementation — preparing and cleansing data, setting up master records, and testing workflows. This role suits a meticulous, reliable finance professional from the fintech, payments or financial services industry who takes pride in clean books and wants exposure to a multi-entity, cross-border finance environment with room to grow.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bookkeeping & Day-to-Day Accounting (Singapore)

•  Handle full-cycle bookkeeping for the Singapore entities: AP/AR processing, general ledger entries, bank and payment-channel reconciliations, staff expense claims and fixed asset records.

•  Support the monthly close: prepare journal entries, schedules and reconciliations to the timetable set by the Finance Director.

•  Assist with GST returns, ACRA filings and annual audit deliverables, including preparing supporting documents for auditors and tax agents.

2. Hong Kong Licensed Entities — Finance Support

•  Perform data entry and bookkeeping for the Hong Kong licensed entities in accordance with group policies, working closely with the Finance Director and the Hong Kong team.

•  Maintain organised, audit-ready supporting documentation (invoices, statements, contracts, settlement records) for the HK entities.

•  Assist with information requests for HK statutory audits, tax filings and licence-related reporting as directed.

3. Finance System Implementation

•  Support the upcoming finance system migration: extract and cleanse historical data, prepare opening balances, set up vendor / customer/ chart of accounts master data, and participate in user testing.

•  Help document standard operating procedures and workflows on the new system after go-live.

4. Mainland China Outsourced Accounting— Coordination

•  Act as the day-to-day contact for the outsourced accounting firm in mainland China: collect and transmit source documents, track the monthly closing schedule and follow up on outstanding items.

•  Perform first-line checks on the reports and schedules returned by the outsourced firm, and flag discrepancies to the Finance Director for review.

5. Finance Administration

•  Support payment processing workflows, vendor on boarding records and the maintenance of finance trackers and filing systems.

•  Provide ad-hoc support on group reporting, due diligence document requests and other finance projects as assigned.

Requirements

•  3–6 years of hands-on bookkeeping / accounting experience, including full-set or near-full-set accounts.

•  Prior working experience in fintech, payments, or the broader financial services industry (e.g. payment institutions, e-money, remittance, fund services, banks or licensed financial firms).

•  Proficiency with at least one accounting system (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Odoo) and strong Excel skills.

•  Fluent business English and Mandarin — Mandarin is essential for daily coordination with the mainland China outsourced accountants.

•  Meticulous, well-organised and dependable, with a track record of meeting monthly close deadlines.

Strongly Preferred

•  Experience performing bookkeeping for Hong Kong entities, or supporting HK audit and tax filing cycles.

•  Experience participating in an accounting system migration or implementation project.

•  Direct mentorship from the Group Finance Director and a clear growth path toward Senior Accountant / Finance Manager as the team builds out.

•  Hands-on involvement in a group-wide finance system implementation — a concrete, transferable career milestone.

•  A front-row seat in one of the fastest-moving areas of global payments, backed by top-tier investors.
