Job Description

As a Financial Control & Operations Accountant, you will be the primary accountant for a defined cluster of entities. You will own the month-end close, maintain the general ledger, reconcile key balance sheet accounts, and support day-to-day finance operations for your entities. This is a hands-on role that requires strong attention to detail, good accounting discipline, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.

You will work closely with the FC&O Senior Manager and the wider finance team, and be the first point of contact for finance queries relating to your entities.

Key Responsibilities

1.  Month-End Close

•  Prepare and post journal entries for your assigned entities as part of the monthly close cycle — including accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and adjustments

•  Complete balance sheet reconciliations for all key accounts within your entity cluster — resolving reconciling items promptly and escalating where needed

•  Ensure completeness of revenue and cost recognition entries in line with Veremark's accounting policies

•  Support the FC&O Senior Manager in delivering the close pack within 10 working days of month end

2.  General Ledger & Intercompany

•  Maintain the general ledger for your assigned entities in Xero — ensuring all transactions are accurately recorded, coded, and allocated

•  Process and reconcile intercompany transactions and recharges across entities within your cluster

•  Perform regular intercompany reconciliations and resolve differences in a timely manner

•  Support the group consolidation process by ensuring your entity data is accurate and submitted on time

3.  Accounts Payable & Receivable

•  Process vendor invoices and coordinate payment runs for your assigned entities — ensuring approvals are in place before payment

•  Support accounts receivable by tracking outstanding invoices, following up on overdue balances, and reconciling AR ledgers

•  Reconcile supplier statements and resolve any vendor disputes or discrepancies

•  Ensure all AP and AR transactions are accurately recorded and aged items are flagged to the FC&O Senior Manager

 4.  Bank Reconciliations & Treasury Support

•  Perform monthly bank reconciliations for all bank accounts within your entity cluster

•  Ensure all bank transactions are posted accurately and reconciling items are cleared promptly

•  Support the FP&A team with cash balance data and banking information as required

5.  Payroll Accounting

•  Post payroll journals for your assigned entities and ensure salary costs are correctly allocated to the right cost centres

•  Reconcile payroll-related balance sheet accounts including statutory liabilities, CPF/EPF/Pension contributions, and accrued salaries

6.  Tax & Statutory Support

•  Prepare supporting schedules and transaction data for tax filings across your entities

•  Support the preparation of statutory accounts by providing accurate trial balances, schedules, and reconciliations

•  Assist with audit queries by providing schedules, workpapers, and supporting documentation for your entities

•  Ensure your entities remain compliant with local filing deadlines — flag upcoming obligations to the FC&O Senior Manager in advance

7.  Day-to-Day Finance Operations

•  Act as the first point of contact for finance queries relating to your assigned entities from internal stakeholders, suppliers, and clients

•  Respond to and resolve finance queries promptly including invoice queries, payment status, and reconciliation questions

•  Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Operations, Customer Success, HR) on finance-related matters for your entities

•  Support the FC&O Senior Manager and VP Finance with ad hoc requests, reporting, and finance projects as required

Qualifications

•  Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; professional qualification (ACCA, CPA or equivalent) preferred or in progress

•  5-7 years of experience in accounting or finance operations with hands-on experience in month-end close and general ledger management

•  Experience with Xero or a similar cloud-based accounting system

•  Strong attention to detail — comfortable self-reviewing work before submission and maintaining a high standard of accuracy

•  Able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously across different entities or workstreams

•  Good communication skills — able to respond to queries clearly and liaise effectively with internal and external stakeholders

Preferred

•  Experience working in a multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction accounting environment

•  Exposure to intercompany accounting and group consolidation processes

•  Experience in a SaaS, technology, or high-growth company environment
