An exciting Financial Controller has just become available at one of the Public Listed Company based in Petaling Jaya.

A leading organisation in the solar renewable energy sector is seeking a Financial Controller to join their team in Petaling Jaya. This is an exceptional opportunity for you to play a pivotal role in shaping the financial direction of a group listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. You will be at the heart of financial operations, overseeing comprehensive reporting, driving project feasibility studies, and ensuring robust compliance with regulatory requirements. The organisation offers a supportive environment where your expertise will directly influence business growth and sustainability initiatives. With flexible working opportunities and a commitment to professional development, this position provides the platform for you to make a significant impact while advancing your career within a forward-thinking and inclusive workplace.

  • Take ownership of end-to-end financial management processes, including forecasting, budgeting, and statutory reporting for a prominent renewable energy group.
  • Collaborate closely with senior leadership and board members, preparing insightful analyses and presenting strategic recommendations that shape key business decisions.
  • Enjoy flexible working opportunities and access to ongoing training, all within an inclusive culture that values your contributions and supports your professional growth.

What you'll do:

As Financial Controller, you will be entrusted with steering the financial health of a dynamic organisation operating at the forefront of renewable energy. Your day-to-day responsibilities will encompass everything from orchestrating complex budgeting cycles to producing high-quality statutory reports that meet stringent Bursa Malaysia requirements. You will collaborate closely with both internal teams and external partners—such as auditors, bankers, and company secretaries—to ensure seamless operations. Your analytical skills will be put to use in evaluating new projects’ viability while your communication abilities will shine during board meetings where you present critical findings. By managing corporate exercises and supporting administrative functions, you will help drive operational excellence throughout the group. Success in this role means not only safeguarding compliance but also contributing valuable strategic insights that propel sustainable business growth.

  • Oversee the entire process of financial forecasting and budget preparation, ensuring accuracy and alignment with organisational objectives across multiple business units.
  • Supervise the preparation of full sets of financial reports for the group, maintaining strict adherence to regulatory standards and internal policies.
  • Conduct detailed financial analysis for project feasibility studies, providing actionable insights that support investment decisions in renewable energy projects.
  • Coordinate quarterly and annual financial reporting activities, liaising effectively with external auditors and company secretaries to ensure timely submission to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
  • Prepare comprehensive project papers and financial reports for board meetings, delivering clear and concise information to facilitate informed decision-making by directors.
  • Establish and maintain strong relationships with bankers, managing financing arrangements to support ongoing business operations and future growth initiatives.
  • Lead the preparation of annual reports and other statutory submissions, ensuring compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Manage corporate exercises as required by the group, overseeing project management activities from inception through successful completion.
  • Provide oversight to the administrative department, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances operational efficiency across the organisation.
  • Undertake additional assignments or special projects as directed by the CEO or Board of Directors, demonstrating flexibility and commitment to organisational success.

What you bring:

To excel as Financial Controller, you bring a wealth of experience from senior finance roles—ideally within industries such as construction or property development—where you have honed your technical knowledge alongside your interpersonal strengths. Your academic background is complemented by recognised professional certifications that underscore your commitment to best practices in accounting and finance. You are adept at navigating complex regulatory landscapes like those set by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, ensuring every report meets exacting standards. Your ability to build trust-based relationships with banks supports effective funding strategies while your attention to detail ensures nothing is overlooked during audits or statutory submissions. Above all, your collaborative spirit fosters unity among colleagues as you guide teams through change initiatives or new projects. Your capacity for empathy helps create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued—making you not just a capable manager but also a respected mentor within the organisation.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or related discipline is essential; professional qualifications such as CPA, ACCA or CFA are highly preferred for this role.
  • At least 10 years of post-qualification experience in senior financial management positions is required, ideally gained within construction or property development sectors.
  • Proven ability to manage bank funding arrangements while cultivating dependable relationships with key financial institutions is considered an added advantage.
  • Demonstrated skill in preparing board papers and presenting effectively during board meetings is crucial for success in this position.
  • Extensive experience in driving financial governance initiatives, ensuring compliance with regulations while implementing operational improvements across departments.
  • Direct exposure to Bursa Malaysia Stock Exchange reporting requirements is mandatory for this opportunity.
  • Exceptional analytical thinking combined with problem-solving capabilities enables you to deliver strategic insights that inform executive decision-making processes.
  • A collaborative approach coupled with interpersonal sensitivity allows you to inspire teams towards shared goals while nurturing a positive work environment.
  • Track record of supporting business objectives through responsible leadership practices that emphasise teamwork, dependability, and open communication channels.

What sets this company apart:

This organisation stands out as a leader in Malaysia’s renewable energy landscape—committed not only to environmental sustainability but also to nurturing talent within its ranks. Employees benefit from flexible working opportunities designed to promote work-life balance without compromising on professional achievement. The company invests heavily in training opportunities so you can continue developing your skills alongside industry experts who value knowledge-sharing and mutual support. A culture rooted in inclusivity ensures that every voice is heard; whether collaborating on major projects or participating in community outreach programmes, you’ll find yourself part of a team dedicated both to innovation and social responsibility. With transparent leadership practices focused on long-term growth rather than short-term gains, this is an ideal environment for those seeking stability paired with meaningful impact.
