• Review cost allocations across villas and shared services, and explain variances to the founders.
• Coordinate payroll inputs, tax documentation, filings and year-end work with external accountants and advisers.
• Supervise and develop our accounting administrator, improve reporting processes and keep financial data organised and confidential.

• At least five years in accounting or finance, including ownership of month-end reporting and experience reviewing others’ work.
• Practical knowledge of Thai accounting and tax processes, plus strong Thai and working English.
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and confidence with accounting software and reconciliations across multiple systems.
• Experience in hospitality, property management or another multi-site business is preferred.
