Key Responsibilities

A Senior Accounts Executive’s duties include a wide range of financial tasks that ensure the firm’s own accounts are in order.

• Full Set of Accounts: Prepare and maintain the full set of accounts for the firm, including the general ledger, balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. This is a core function that provides a complete overview of the company’s financial health.
• Accounts Payable and Receivable: Manage the full cycle of accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR). This includes processing invoices, ensuring timely payments to vendors, and following up on outstanding payments from clients to ensure the firm has a healthy cash flow.
• Financial Reporting and Analysis: Prepare accurate and timely financial reports for management. This may include monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, as well as assisting with budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis to help with strategic decision-making.
• Compliance and Audits: Ensure compliance with local financial regulations, such as the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS) and GST reporting requirements.
• Bank Reconciliation: Conduct regular bank reconciliations to ensure the accuracy of all transactions and to identify and resolve any discrepancies.
• Ad-hoc and Supervisory Duties: Assist with special projects as needed and, in some cases, provide guidance and mentorship to junior accounts staff, reviewing their work and helping them with complex transactions.

Required Qualifications & Skills

To succeed in this role, a candidate needs a combination of formal education, relevant experience, and specific skills.

• Education: A Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy, Finance, or a related field is typically required. Professional qualifications like ACCA or CPA are a significant advantage.
• Experience: Candidates should have at least 3-5 years of experience in accounting, preferably with experience handling a full set of accounts. Prior experience in a professional services or corporate services firm is a plus.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel (including VLOOKUP and pivot tables), is crucial. Experience with common accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, or ACCPAC is also highly valued. Knowledge of SFRS and Singapore corporate taxation is essential.
• Soft Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are a must, as the role involves handling complex financial data. Excellent attention to detail, a meticulous nature, and the ability to work independently under tight deadlines are also vital. Lastly, strong communication and interpersonal skills are needed to liaise with internal teams, auditors, and government agencies.
