Finance Executive

About The Role

You will take full ownership of Bethel Chambers' finance function — the complete cycle from bookkeeping through to statutory reporting — working directly with the Managing Director rather than through an intermediary. This is a hands-on, all-in role suited to someone who wants to own a finance function outright, not administer a slice of one.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare journal entries, accruals and adjustments, and manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, the general ledger, bank reconciliations, and month-end and year-end close, across the firm's operating accounts
• Maintain and reconcile the firm's various accounts — including office accounts and client accounts — with the accuracy and segregation that client-money handling in a law practice requires
• Prepare and submit GST returns, process CPF submissions, support ECI and corporate income tax filings, and handle annual IR8A submissions for staff
• Prepare monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and cash-flow reporting for the Managing Director
• Manage the firm's banking relationships and day-to-day cash position, and handle payment vouchers and inter-account transfers
• Maintain the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals and depreciation schedules
• Process staff expense claims in line with firm policy
• Manage client invoicing, follow up on collections, and process payments and disbursements
• Act as the firm's primary point of contact with auditors, the corporate secretary, and external tax advisers
• Maintain accurate, well-documented financial records — including reconciliations and audit schedules — that stand up to audit and statutory scrutiny at any time

About You

• Diploma or degree in Accountancy, Finance, or a related discipline, with 3–5 years' experience in accounting or bookkeeping, ideally within an SME or professional services environment, or an ACCA Affiliate
• Proven ability to run a full set of accounts independently, without day-to-day oversight
• Working knowledge of Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and Singapore statutory requirements — GST, CPF, and corporate tax filing obligations
• Proficient in standard accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, or equivalent), with strong MS Excel skills
• Experience with Clio or similar legal practice management software, and tech-savvy more broadly — comfortable picking up new systems and tools with minimal handholding
• Meticulous, analytical, and comfortable being the single point of accountability for the firm's finances, including under reporting-deadline pressure
• Advantageous: prior experience in a law firm or other professional services setting, particularly with client account handling
• Only Singaporeans/PRs will be considered.
