Senior Finance Manager

Position Overview

Reporting to the Deputy CEO, the Senior Finance Manager (SFM) is the strategic finance lead for all Singapore projects and the architect of our future cross‑border finance platform. The SFM safeguards cash flow, guides project budgeting, and serves as the first‑line liaison with banks, investors, Enterprise SG, and other government‑grant bodies. They ensure full compliance with SFRS(I), IRAS GST, MAS AML, BCA retention‑money rules, and emerging sustainability‑reporting standards (ISSB/GRI, SGX Rule 711B).

As the firm pivots toward solar PV, battery storage, and regional M&E EPC contracts, the SFM will design the multi‑currency treasury, transfer‑pricing, and tax structures that enable fast overseas deployment and will lead all capital‑investment evaluations—building IRR/NPV models that drive board‑level decisions on new bids, joint ventures, and asset purchases.
