Firmable is the market-leading B2B sales intelligence platform in Asia-Pacific. Our competitive moat is our data: the deepest, most localised company and people dataset in every market we operate in. We've proven the model in ANZ. Now we're scaling it across Southeast Asia and the US.

Five jurisdictions, one finance function. This role keeps the books clean, the close fast, and the numbers leadership can actually rely on.

Senior Financial Accountant is responsible for the day-to-day execution of Firmable's accounting and compliance function across five operating jurisdictions: Australia, New Zealand, United States, Singapore, and India. You will own transactional processing, reconciliations, and month-end close, while supporting the broader financial reporting and planning cycle.

This is not a senior-by-title role: it's hands-on. You'll execute close, reconcile, document, and continuously improve the systems that keep Firmable's finance function audit-ready. You'll work autonomously across time zones, partner with the Head of Finance on reporting and planning, and look for ways to embed AI and automation into how finance operates day to day.

Reporting to Samantha Leigh, Head of Finance (Melbourne).

~75% hands-on execution: month-end close, reconciliations, AP/AR, compliance, treasury. ~25% process improvement, reporting support, and automation.

What You'll Own

Accounting & Month-End Close

• Month-end close: journal entries, accruals, prepayments, intercompany reconciliations across all entities

• General ledger: maintenance in Xero, including chart of accounts, cost centres, and entity structures

• Balance sheet reconciliations: bank, fixed assets, loans, intercompany balances monthly

• AP and AR end-to-end: coding, approval workflows, payment runs, collections follow-up

• Management accounts and board reporting: supporting the Head of Finance with monthly packs

• Audit readiness: maintaining organised, accurate, and compliant records with full transaction support

Compliance & Tax

• Year-end workpapers: liaison with external auditors and tax advisors on annual audit and tax return processes

• Tax obligations: FBT reporting, transfer pricing documentation, withholding tax as required

Treasury

• Cash flow: accurate records and support for cash flow reporting and working capital management

• Reimbursements: petty cash, employee expense reimbursements, corporate card reconciliations

• Foreign currency: processing across USD, NZD, SGD, INR, and AUD, including FX reconciliations

Financial Planning & Reporting Support

• Budget and forecasts: actuals collation and financial modelling support for annual budget and quarterly reforecasts

• Variance analysis: actuals vs budget/forecast with commentary for management reporting

• Board and investor materials: preparation support as required

Systems & Process Improvement

• Finance stack: maintaining and improving processes across Xero, Airwallex, Razorpay, and billing/payroll platforms

• Automation: identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce manual processing and improve accuracy

• Documentation: keeping procedures, playbooks, and process guides current and accessible

• New tooling: evaluating and onboarding finance tools as the business scales

What We're Looking For

Must Haves

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, or a related field

• CA or CPA qualification (or working towards)

• 2–4 years in a financial accounting or management accounting role

• Strong technical accounting skills: demonstrated experience in month-end close, reconciliations, and statutory compliance

• Proficiency with Xero and strong Excel skills

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines across jurisdictions

• Comfortable working autonomously with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues

• Clear written and verbal communication; collaborative across teams and external advisors

• You live and breathe AI tools. You use Claude (or similar) for drafting reports and board commentary, summarising complex documents, preparing variance narratives, accelerating research on accounting standards and tax obligations, and automating month-end workflows.

Highly Valued

• SaaS, technology, or start-up environment experience

• Experience with Airwallex, Razorpay, or similar payment platforms

• Multi-jurisdictional or multi-entity accounting experience

• Background in scaling a finance function from lean to structured

The Environment

Firmable runs lean and ships fast: small senior teams, no layers, minimal process. The finance function operates at continuous pace across five jurisdictions, with collaboration across time zones and external advisors.

We are an AI-native organisation. That means AI isn't a tool we reach for: it's the default operating mode. AI-assisted close commentary, automated reconciliation checks, agentic research on tax and accounting standards. If you're not already working this way, this role isn't right for you.

Why This Role

• Multi-jurisdictional scope from day one: AU, NZ, US, SG, and IN operations all run through your books

• Operational backbone of finance: real ownership of how the function executes and evolves as Firmable scales

• Real career runway: as Firmable scales toward $50M ARR, the finance function scales too; the ceiling is set by output, not tenure

What Success Looks Like

• Month-end close completed accurately and on time each cycle

• Payroll processed without error and on schedule across all jurisdictions

• All compliance lodgement deadlines met

• The Head of Finance and leadership team can rely on clean, reconciled financial data to make decisions with confidence
