Company: The Company Location: Kuala Lumpur — On-site Job Type: Full-time, Permanent Level: Executive Reports To: CEO & Management
About The Company
The Company is a fast-growing technology firm building data and AI products for enterprise and public-sector clients across Malaysia and ASEAN. We're hiring our foundation team and need a sharp Finance Executive who can manage our books, coordinate with external advisors, and keep leadership informed with clear, accurate financial reporting from day one.
The Role
We're looking for a detail-oriented Finance Executive to own our finance operations and serve as the trusted financial partner to the CEO and senior management. You'll handle all aspects of bookkeeping, accounts management, statutory submissions, and month-end reporting — and you'll be the primary liaison between our internal operations and our external accountants, tax advisors, and auditors.
This is a hands-on finance role with real visibility and direct access to leadership. You'll be trusted with confidential financial matters and given ownership of the finance function from the ground up.
What You'll Do
- Maintain accurate finance records for invoices, payments, receipts, claims, petty cash, and supporting documents.
- Prepare payment listings, claim summaries, invoice trackers, AR/AP ageing reports, and cash movement records.
- Process vendor payments, expense claims, and petty cash transactions with accuracy and timeliness.
- Support monthly financial close — prepare reconciliations, schedules, document packs, and management summaries for review.
- Coordinate with external accountants, tax agents, and auditors — provide schedules, documentation, and supporting files; ensure compliance and audit readiness.
- Track statutory finance inputs — payroll deductions, SST (where applicable), withholding tax, LHDN documentation, and corporate secretary submissions.
- Maintain budget tracking, procurement records, and asset registers.
- Prepare finance reports and dashboards for management review — cash position, spend, forecasts, and KPIs.
- Support the CEO and management with financial analysis, variance commentary, and decision support.
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of hands-on finance experience in bookkeeping, accounts, AP/AR, claims processing, or accounting support roles.
- Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Strong knowledge of Malaysian statutory finance — EPF, SOCSO, EIS, SST, withholding tax, LHDN submissions, and compliance requirements.
- Proficiency in accounting systems and Microsoft Office (Excel especially).
- Exceptional accuracy, organisation, and follow-through — you take pride in clean records and timely deliverables.
- Confidentiality and discretion — trusted to handle sensitive financial information.
- Strong written and verbal communication in Bahasa Malaysia and English.
- Comfort working in a small, lean team and building processes from scratch.
Nice to Have
- Experience in a technology company, startup, consulting firm, or financial services environment.
- Exposure to group finance, intercompany transactions, or multi-entity accounting.
- Familiarity with cloud accounting tools or finance management systems.
Why Join Us
- Direct impact — your finance function serves the CEO and shapes company decisions from day one.
- Foundation-team scope — real ownership, not a narrow accounts desk. You build and own the finance operations.
- Variety — bookkeeping, management reporting, statutory compliance, advisor coordination — it's all here.
- Growth — clear path to expand into finance management as the company scales.
