Purpose of the Role
This is an opportunity to join Side’s Finance team in Malaysia and play a hands-on role within an international business operating across multiple countries and regions.

- Experience with management reporting, budget monitoring, and variance analysis.
- Working knowledge of SST/GST/E-Invoicing compliance is an advantage.
