Job Description

We're looking for a hands-on, forward-thinking General Ledger (GL) Manager to lead our accounting operations and play a key role in building our shared service capabilities. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role -- it's for someone who loves driving change, leading teams, and improving processes in a fast-moving environment.
You'll oversee our general ledger and consolidation activities while steering finance transformation initiatives such as system migration, process optimisation, and the transition into a shared service model.
If you thrive in dynamic settings where you can make things better, faster, and smarter -- we'd love to have you on board.
Why You'll Love Working Here?

• Fast-paced, high-growth environment where ideas move quickly to execution.
• Opportunities to shape the shared service model and build a legacy of operational excellence.

General Ledger & Consolidation

• Lead the full GL close cycle and monthly close processes, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness.
• Oversee group consolidation and ensure accuracy of financial statements in compliance with accounting standards (e.g. MFRS/IFRS).
• Drive standardisation and consistency across entities and regions.
• Review journal entries, reconciliations, and intercompany transactions.
• Lead statutory and management reporting cycles, including audit coordination.

Finance Transformation & Shared Services

• Be a key player in transitioning GL and reporting processes into a shared service model.
• Lead and manage system and process migration projects (ERP and automation tools).
• Build and implement best-in-class processes and controls that scale with growth.
• Champion continuous improvement, using data and tech to streamline workflows.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants and senior analysts.
• Collaborate closely with FP&A, AP/AR, and business units to resolve issues and deliver insights.
• Act as a trusted finance partner to management -- clear, proactive, and solution-oriented.

Financial Analysis & Insights

Identify process bottlenecks and recommend practical, scalable solutions.
Requirements

• Minimum 7-10 years of progressive accounting experience across multiple countries in Asia, including 3+ years in a managerial role.
• Proven experience in consolidation across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
• Strong track record in project management, particularly in process transition, system migration, or shared service setup.
