Head of Finance

About the Role

We are looking for a Head of Finance to take ownership of the finance function as we scale beyond Series A. Today our finances are managed pragmatically, with a capable Senior Finance and Accounting Analyst (based in Bangkok) supported by external advisors and input from the founders. We need a hands-on finance leader who can build proper financial planning & analysis, tighten reporting in Xero, and elevate how we communicate numbers to our board and investors. This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable setting strategy and doing the work, building the model, owning the close, and presenting to investors, while providing direct oversight and mentorship to our analyst.

Responsibilities

• Build a robust FP&A capability: budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning; establish key metrics (hiring pace vs revenue growth, efficiency ratios, runway, unit economics by product/service line)
• Tighten and mature financial reporting in Xero (or comparable cloud accounting system), own the monthly close, and establish reporting rigour and controls appropriate for a scaling, venture-backed business
• Upgrade the quality and cadence of board and investor materials; prepare numbers clearly and credibly to support fundraising and strategic opportunities
• Drive discipline in billing, receivables and collections across a base of large FMCG and blue-chip clients to ensure timely invoicing and cash collection
• Oversee Singapore statutory compliance and tax matters (ACRA filings, GST, IRAS) working with external advisors to keep the company current and in good standing
• Provide direct management and mentorship to the Senior Finance and Accounting Analyst and build out the finance team over time

Qualifications

• Finance leader who is both strategic and hands-on; comfortable building models today while laying foundations for a team tomorrow
• Strong command of FP&A and financial modelling, with the judgement to identify the metrics that drive a people-heavy, subscription-led business
• Proficient with Xero or comparable cloud accounting systems and confident establishing reporting processes and controls from a lean starting point
• Clear, credible communicator who can translate numbers into a narrative that founders, boards, and investors trust
• Pragmatic and comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment with imperfect data and competing priorities
• Able to manage and develop a junior team member and to work effectively through external advisors across multiple jurisdictions
• Nice to have: experience with venture capital reporting or fundraising, exposure to SaaS/subscription or data/market-research businesses, and familiarity with Singapore regulatory/tax requirements (ACRA, GST, IRAS)
