• Build and manage a high-performing accounting team with tidy, sustainable workflows.
• Improve processes and systems; experiment with new tools to save time and reduce errors.
• Lay the foundation for FP&A by ensuring accounting outputs are structured and reliable for budgeting, forecasting, and KPI dashboards.
• Represent finance externally with banks, auditors, and investors.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting/Finance.
• Chief Accountant Certificate (CAC) from the Ministry of Finance (mandatory for compliance).
• 7–12 years of accounting experience, including team supervision.
• Strong knowledge of VAS, taxation, and statutory compliance.
• Familiarity with IFRS and multi-entity consolidation; experience with Singaporean structures a plus.
• Strong English reading skills; writing and speaking are a plus.
• CPA, ACCA, or other international certifications are strong advantages.

Personal Traits

• Detail-Oriented Guardian: Ensures accuracy and catches inconsistencies.
• Pragmatic Problem-Solver: Resourceful in imperfect systems; gets things done.
• System Builder: Thinks in processes, develops scalable workflows.
• Trustworthy Communicator: Gains credibility with banks, auditors, and investors.
• Ambitious Learner: Executes today, but grows into Group Controller / FP&A leader tomorrow.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation package with performance-based bonuses and potential ESOP.
• A pivotal role in shaping the finance foundation of a fast-growing, VC-backed company that is ambitious to transform the real estate market in Vietnam for the next decades.
• Direct exposure to IFRS consolidation, international structuring, and investor due diligence.
• Clear growth path toward Group Controller / Finance Manager, with opportunities to expand into FP&A.
• A dynamic, high-trust startup environment that values initiative, problem-solving, and system thinking.
• Close collaboration with the CFO and leadership team on strategic finance projects.
