- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
