Controller / Finance Manager

Key Responsibilities

CONTROLLERSHIP & ACCOUNTING

• Own the full accounting cycle for multiple entities across multiple countries, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and month-end/year-end close.

• Prepare accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with SFRS/IFRS (and US GAAP where applicable).

• 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).

• Excellent attention to detail, ownership mindset, and clear communication.

• Purpose: The opportunity to contribute to making AI a public good

• Growth: A self-directed environment where you can take initiative to shape your role and career

• Compensation: Market-competitive compensation including, for most roles, exposure to pre-launch tokens
