• Finance Manager coverage: business partnering and performance

Advise and challenge the General Manager with timely analyses of performance, variances against plan, financial impacts and risks. Produce the management information required by the GM and SEA Finance and monitor the key ratios. Maintain the P&L and cash-flow forecasts, including the Q4 forecast and landing and the FY27 budget inputs as required. Give early warning of unexpected issues and propose corrective actions.

• Supervision of accounting: Accountant coverage

Directly supervise, review and approve the accounting work for MY, SG and PH: journals, reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, expense claims and payments. Approve purchase requests, payments and expense reimbursements within delegated authority. Manage customer credit exposure and credit-hold releases. Prepare cash-flow projections and follow up collections to the targeted DSO. Handle treasury matters (in-house bank accounts, bank relations, FX master data, fraud and dispute cases) in line with Group Treasury guidelines. Ensure that tax calculations, filings and tax queries are handled in line with Group Tax guidelines, including transfer-price monitoring.

• BPO / shared-service interface

Act as the senior local interface with Genpact and shared Finance across A2R, P2P and O2C. Chase deliverables, resolve issues, and review and approve the BPO outputs. Ensure the quality and timeliness of the services delivered to the three entities and collaborate with the service delivery managers and the global process owners.

• Controls and compliance

Ensure the strict implementation of IFRS, Group guidelines and the internal control system. Secure adherence to the local fiscal and finance regulations of Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines and to the double-signature and financial-commitment rules. Identify and mitigate risks, and escalate material risks immediately to the GM, SEA Finance and the Area Controller. Act as back-up local document responsible person for Malaysia (SOP distribution and filing) if required.

• Knowledge capture and handover from the departing Senior Finance Manager

Before the Senior Finance Manager leaves, document the critical processes, deadlines, contacts, recurring issues, controls and undocumented dependencies for each entity, so that no knowledge is lost during the bridge period.

• Transition to the permanent Senior Accountant

Once the Senior Accountant joins, organise a structured onboarding and transfer the ownership of the recurring accounting and reporting tasks progressively. Review the first closes performed by the new hire and close any remaining knowledge gaps.

• Process stabilisation and future-model input

Identify gaps and single-person dependencies, and document and simplify processes where needed. Support Group and SEA finance programmes locally. Help the GM and SEA Finance define what genuinely needs to stay local and what can move to SEA or shared services after the bridge.
