Position Summary
The Accounts Assistant supports the Finance Department by maintaining rigorous control over daily retail cash flows, multi-channel sales data, and supplier accounts. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between frontend point-of-sale (POS) systems and backend accounting ledgers, ensuring every product sold matches our actual bank deposits and inventory records.
Key Responsibilities1. High-Volume Sales & Payment Gateway Reconciliation
- Multi-Channel Reconciliation: Perform daily and weekly audits matching total sales from the POS system against actual settlements from payment gateways, including credit cards, local e-wallets (e.g., Touch 'n Go, GrabPay), and third-party delivery platforms (e.g., GrabFood, ShopeeFood).
- Discrepancy Resolution: Track down and resolve variances caused by gateway processing fees, delivery rider cancellations, terminal errors, or missing platform payouts.
- Cash Control: Verify daily physical cash drops from each outlet against POS Z-reports and bank cash-in machine (CDM) deposit slips.
2. Procurement & F&B Vendor Accounts Payable (AP)
- Three-Way Matching: Match supplier tax invoices against outlet-signed Delivery Orders (DO) and Purchase Orders (PO) to verify correct pricing and quantities for ingredients, packaging, and store supplies.
- Supplier Statement Auditing: Perform monthly reconciliations of central vendor statements to catch credit notes, return variances (e.g., damaged goods, short-shipments), or double billings.
- Payment Preparation: Organize verified invoices into payment vouchers, ensuring timely processing for final authorizer approval to protect supplier relationships and credit terms.
3. Cash Flow, Petty Cash & Operations Support
- Petty Cash Management: Audit and replenish outlet petty cash floats, checking that outlet managers submit valid tax invoices/receipts for emergency local purchases.
- Bank Reconciliation: Execute weekly bank statement reconciliations across multiple corporate accounts to maintain a transparent, real-time view of daily operational cash flow.
4. Statutory Compliance & Month-End Support
- Statutory Data Preparation: Assist in organizing internal documentation for monthly payroll processing and statutory body deductions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB).
- Audit Readiness: Properly archive financial documents digitally and physically to simplify annual financial audits, tax filings, and potential Service Tax (SST) submissions.
Job Requirements
- Education: Professional certificate, LCCI, Diploma, or Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of accounting experience. Direct experience in retail chains, franchising, central kitchens, or F&B outlets is highly preferred.
- Technical Skills:

- Familiarity with retail/F&B POS backend reporting systems.
- Solid MS Excel skills (comfortable working with large datasets, basic sorting, and formulas).
