About us
Anlian Group Pte. Ltd.
is a Singapore corporate services and immigration advisory firm. We help business owners and investors establish and run companies here, and we guide individuals and families through the work pass, Permanent Residence, family office and Global Investor Programme routes to settling in Singapore. Our clients are predominantly international, and a large proportion are from Greater China.
We are looking for a corporate secretarial professional who wants both halves of that work — the statutory discipline of ACRA compliance and the client-facing judgement of immigration advisory.

on application status, queries and appeals

Compliance monitoring and client management

What we are actually looking for
Someone who reads the deadline before the email, tells a client the answer is no when it is no, and keeps a clean file. Corporate secretarial work rewards people who are precise and finish things.
What we offer
- Competitive salary, reviewed annually
- Exposure to both corporate secretarial and immigration work, which few firms of this size offer together
- Support for professional certification
