Job description:

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 - RM10,000.00 per month
