We are looking for a Senior FP&A Executive to join our finance function and strengthen group-wide planning, forecasting and business partnering.
This role works closely with the Group Financial Reporting team, which owns statutory and management account preparation. The Senior FP&A Executive focuses on forward-looking planning, forecasting, variance analysis and business partnering - turning the numbers produced by Reporting into insight and decision support for senior leadership across the group.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Planning & Budgeting
- Lead the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting process, working with department and entity heads across the group to consolidate inputs and produce a robust annual plan.
- Develop and maintain rolling financial forecasts, monitoring variances between actuals and budget with clear commentary.
- Build and maintain financial models to support scenario planning, sensitivity analysis and strategic decision-making across group entities.
Reporting & Variance Analysis
- Review monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts prepared by the Group Financial Reporting team, and produce clear variance commentary and financial dashboards for senior leadership and stakeholders.
- Translate the Reporting team's output into forward-looking insight - trends, risks and opportunities rather than re-producing the underlying accounts.
- Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) across business units and entities, highlighting trends and areas requiring attention.
- Ensure timely and accurate submission of internal planning and analysis reports, working in step with the Reporting team's reporting calendar.
Business Partnering & Analysis
- Partner with operations, sales and supply chain teams to provide financial analysis that supports commercial decisions.
- Conduct cost analysis, margin analysis and profitability reviews across products and business lines.
- Provide ad hoc financial analysis and decision support as required by management.
- Assist in preparation of board presentations and investor/stakeholder reports, including variance narratives supporting SGX Catalist quarterly and annual disclosure requirements.
Group & Cross-Entity Support
- Support consolidation and analysis across group entities in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and China, partnering with local finance teams to ensure consistent forecasting assumptions and definitions.
- Work comfortably with multi-currency and multi-entity financial models; prior exposure to a regional or group structure is an advantage.
Systems & Process Improvement
- Play an active role in building and improving financial planning and analysis processes and tools as the company scales.
- Support the evaluation and implementation of financial systems and ERP solutions, in coordination with the Group Financial Reporting and IT teams.
- Develop standardised templates, reporting frameworks and documentation to improve efficiency and data integrity, and to keep FP&A and Reporting outputs aligned.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related discipline.
- Minimum 4-6 years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis or management reporting; manufacturing industry experience is an advantage.
- Experience within a group / multi-entity or listed-company structure is an advantage, though not mandatory.
- Professional qualification (ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent) is an added advantage but not mandatory.
- Demonstrated experience in full-cycle budgeting, forecasting and variance/management reporting.
Technical Skills
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (financial modelling, pivot tables, complex formulas); Power BI or similar data visualisation tools is a plus.
- Experience with accounting or ERP systems is preferred.
- Ability to work with imperfect or evolving systems and build structure where processes are still being developed.
Language & Communication
- Able to communicate financial information clearly and concisely to non-finance audiences.
Personal Attributes
- Self-starter who thrives in an SME/growing-group environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.
- High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Proactive, resourceful, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
Pay: RM7,000.00 - RM11,000.00 per month
