Job Title: Senior Accountant/Assistant Finance Manager

Location: Singapore - Central

Your New Company

My client is a long‑established Singapore‑based distribution and trading business with a strong regional footprint across Asia. The company focuses on premium consumer brands and operates an end‑to‑end model, covering import/export, bonded warehousing, logistics, and market execution.

They are known for their stable ownership, long operating history, and regional exposure, and work closely with global brand principals to develop markets in Southeast Asia. Culturally, it’s a professional, close‑knit organization, structured, well‑run, and less volatile than many pure trading outfits.

It’s a good fit for someone looking for stability, regional scope, and meaningful responsibility in a well‑established business.

• Support daily cash reporting, cash flow tracking, and monitoring.

• Prepare and file government statistical and regulatory reports as required.

• Carry out ad‑hoc accounting, finance, and compliance‑related duties as assigned.
