What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can own month-end/year-end close, streamline process automation, and strengthen controls. I want to lead e-invoicing and intercompany accounting, mentor teams, and collaborate with auditors to keep reporting accurate and on time.

I’m a Finance Manager and chartered accountant with 14 years of accounting experience across GL, AR, AP, and FA, plus intercompany controlling for multi-country operations. I’m known for clear ownership, follow-through, and staying accountable for outcomes and deadlines.

In my current role, I supervise AP processes and lead month-end and year-end closing with strong oversight of revenue and expenditures. I also drive automation and accuracy improvements, including building SOPs and partnering on e-invoicing to ensure smooth implementation.

I’ve managed intercompany accounting across Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong & Macau, and Australia—streamlining practices to deliver quality and accelerated closing and statutory reporting. I document global process mapping (Business Process Master List) and contribute to quarterly forecasts and yearly budgeting for SSC accounting and management fee.

Beyond core accounting, I coordinate audits and compliance activities, including tax estimation and SOX control ownership, while supporting finance projects such as Concur go-live. I’ve also led and trained teams, contribute to UAT for period-end close process enhancements, and continuously seek process improvement to protect financial health.
