About the Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Financial Accountant to join a high-performing APAC finance team within a large, complex, and internationally connected organisation.

This role sits in a regional head-office environment, offering broad exposure across multiple APAC markets and close collaboration with senior stakeholders both locally and offshore. You'll play a critical role in strengthening financial controls, improving reporting quality, and supporting regional and global reporting requirements.

If you enjoy technical accounting, balance sheet ownership, and working in a fast-paced, globally connected environment, this role offers both challenge and excellent development.

This role is a 12 month, fixed term contract with a view to move to a permanent ongoing role.

The Role
Reporting to the APAC Finance Manager, you will be a key contributor to the regional financial accounting and reporting function. You will work closely with local finance teams across APAC, providing oversight, guidance, and support to ensure consistent, high-quality financial reporting.

Key Responsibilities

* Tie balance sheets to reconciliations and review reconciliations to ensure controls are operating effectively

Quarterly & Compliance

* Coordinate and prepare quarterly compliance and control disclosures, including review and consolidation of market submissions
* Support intercompany balance reviews and eliminations
* Assist with quarterly tax and statutory reporting packs

Stakeholder Support & Projects

* Act as a trusted accounting contact for local finance leaders across APAC
* Provide guidance on accounting treatment, controls, and systems-related queries
* Review annual statutory accounts prepared by local markets
* Support ad-hoc analysis and regional finance projects as required

About You

* Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
* Currently studying towards CPA or CA qualification
* 2-3 years' experience in financial accounting or reporting roles
* Strong balance sheet focus and hands-on month-end experience
* Advanced Excel and data management skills
* Confident communicator able to work with stakeholders across different regions and time zones
* Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to work autonomously
* Adaptable, pragmatic, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment
* Exposure to large ERPs, reporting tools, or US/international accounting standards is advantageous but not essential
* First and Second movers are encouraged to apply.

Why This Role?

* Genuine regional APAC exposure
* Complex, interesting accounting with real ownership
* High-visibility role working with senior finance stakeholders
* Excellent opportunity to strengthen technical accounting, controls, and reporting expertise
