• Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills.
• Ability to research and resolve accounting transactions and account balances with minimal direction.
• A strong grasp of the "big picture" behind assigned tasks, with sound judgment around materiality.
• Excellent self-review skills, catching errors before work is passed on to a manager.
• Experience with Xero and AI tools such as Claude is a strong advantage.

You Will Be Responsible For

• Handling AP/AR, treasury, and cash flow management, including recording monthly non-standard journal entries in the general ledger.
• Reviewing junior accountants' work, journal entries and reconciliations, and providing training and guidance.
• Recording crypto transactions and preparing crypto trial balances.
• Managing and reconciling intercompany transactions across global subsidiaries, including month-end eliminations and resolving currency discrepancies.
• Preparing monthly consolidations and financial statements, and analyzing variances between actual and budgeted figures.
• Ensuring compliance with HKFRS/IFRS and relevant regulatory requirements, and liaising with external auditors on the year-end audit process.
• Preparing tax filings (e.g., profits tax) or coordinating with tax advisors.
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes.
• Maintaining internal controls, driving process improvements.
• Taking on ad hoc reporting and projects as assigned.

In Exchange, We Offer:

• A dynamic, collaborative, fun, yet challenging work environment.
• Attractive salary and benefits.
• Flexible working hours.
• An office located in the heart of Central, Hong Kong.
• A state-of-the-art entertainment floor, including a fully stocked bar and pantry, gaming consoles and a growing library.
• A team of 100+ people globally, representing over 20 countries, we're multicultural and proud of it!
• An onsite company gym and yoga studio with showers, changing rooms and free daily classes.
• Expensed weekly team lunches and regular social events.
