1. Financial Controller / Oversight Function

• Month-end close management — owning the close calendar, reviewing journal entries, ensuring accuracy before reports go out

• Cash management oversight — bank reconciliations, cash position monitoring, approval of payment runs

• Intercompany reconciliations — for clients with multiple entities or cross-border structures

• Annual financial statement preparation — compliant with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS), ready for audit or XBRL filing

• ACRA annual return coordination — ensuring filing deadlines are met

• GST return preparation — where the client is GST-registered

• Audit liaison — being the point of contact for external auditors, preparing audit schedules and supporting documents

• Accounting software administration — day-to-day platform management (eg. Xero, QuickBooks), user access control

• Third-party coordination — managing relationships with payroll providers, company secretaries, tax agents on the client's behalf

• Document and record management — ensuring statutory records, contracts, and financial documentation are organized and retrievable

4. Flexible Capacity / Interim Support

• Gap coverage — stepping in when a finance hire resigns or is on leave, preventing disruption to reporting cycles
