- Maintain a clean, well-documented chart of accounts and ensure the integrity of financial records and reconciliations.

- Manage cash flow, banking relationships, and treasury operations.

COMPLIANCE & CONTROLS

- Handle GST filings, corporate tax, and statutory reporting with IRAS and ACRA, coordinating with external tax agents as needed.

- Manage the annual audit and serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors.

- Design and enforce internal controls, finance policies, and approval workflows appropriate for a scaling startup.

- Oversee payroll, CPF contributions, and employee expense processes.

BUSINESS PARTNERING & OPERATIONS

- Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash-runway planning; proactively flag risks.

- Partner with founders and department leads on spend, unit economics, and vendor contracts.

- Leverage AI and automation tools to streamline close, reporting, and reconciliation, continuously improving finance operations.

- Support fundraising, investor reporting, and due-diligence requests as the company grows.

What We're Looking For

- 5+ years of relevant experience in accounting or finance, ideally in a startup or fast-paced, high-growth environment.

- Degree in Accountancy, Finance, or a related field; CA (Singapore), ACCA, or CPA qualification highly preferred.

- Strong working knowledge of accounting standards—SFRS and IFRS; exposure to US GAAP is an advantage—as well as GST, corporate tax, and Singapore statutory requirements.

- External or internal audit experience (e.g., from a public accounting firm or leading the audit process in-house).

- Proven ability to design, implement, and enforce internal controls and finance processes from scratch.

- Hands-on experience running a full set of accounts independently.

- Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks, or NetSuite) and strong Excel/Google Sheets skills.

- Comfortable with ambiguity, able to prioritise, and happy to be both strategic and hands-on.

- Open to AI tools and eager to leverage them for efficiency.

- Exposure to or interest in Web3, crypto, or digital-asset accounting is a strong plus (nice to have, not required).
