Senior Account Executive

A leading organisation in Shah Alam is seeking a Senior Accounts Executive to join their dedicated finance team. This role offers you the opportunity to supervise and nurture junior staff, ensuring accuracy and compliance across all accounting functions. You will be empowered to manage full-set accounts, oversee monthly reconciliations, and liaise with auditors and tax agents. The company is renowned for its strong reputation in the industry and commitment to excellence, making it an ideal place for those who wish to grow professionally within a dependable network. If you are passionate about fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, this position will allow you to make a meaningful impact while advancing your career. Why This Role Stands Out: * Take ownership of full-set accounts management, including accounts payables, general ledger, inter-company transactions, fixed assets tracking, and bank reconciliations. * Play a key role in supervising junior staff, reviewing their work for accuracy, and ensuring compliance with internal policies and statutory requirements. * Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams such as logistics for inventory cut-offs, stock-take activities, and variance reconciliations to ensure accurate reporting.

What You'll Do:

As a Senior Accounts Executive based in Shah Alam, you will play a crucial role in overseeing the daily operations of the finance department. Your responsibilities will include supervising junior staff members in accounts payables and general ledger functions while ensuring timely closure of various financial processes such as AP, inventory management, inter-company transactions, fixed assets tracking, bank reconciliations, and general ledger updates. You will prepare essential monthly journals like prepayments and accruals to maintain precise financial records. Additionally, you will manage the fixed asset register using ERP systems—preferably Navision—and update balance sheet schedules regularly. Your day-to-day tasks involve processing staff expense claims according to policy guidelines, collaborating closely with logistics teams for inventory cut-offs and stock-takes, reconciling variances post-stock-take adjustments, adhering strictly to legal requirements as well as internal policies. You will also liaise extensively with auditors for year-end audits and statutory filings while ensuring prompt submission of SST returns and corporate tax documents. By alerting the Finance Manager about any irregularities swiftly, you help maintain transparency within the department. Success in this role requires meticulous attention to detail combined with excellent interpersonal skills for effective collaboration across departments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise and review the work prepared by accounts assistants in accounts payables and general ledger functions.
• Ensure timely closing of accounts payables, inventory management, inter-company transactions, fixed assets tracking, bank reconciliations, and general ledger entries each month.
• Prepare monthly journals including prepayments, accruals, and other necessary adjustments to maintain accurate financial records.
• Conduct monthly inter-company reconciliations to ensure consistency across all business units.
• Manage the fixed asset register and run depreciation processes within the ERP system (preferably Navision), maintaining up-to-date records.
• Update monthly balance sheet schedules to provide clear visibility into financial health.
• Process timely bank reconciliations to ensure all transactions are accurately recorded.
• Oversee full-set accounts management including subcontractor payments and capital expenditure alignment with standard operating procedures and cash forecasts.
• Control and process staff expense claims efficiently in line with company policy.
• Work closely with logistics teams on inventory cut-off dates and coordinate stock-take activities for accurate reporting.
• Reconcile monthly stock-take variances and post necessary adjustments after stock-take completion.
• Ensure strict adherence to legal standards, statutory regulations, accounting standards, tax regulations, company policies, and SOPs throughout all accounting processes.
• Liaise with auditors for year-end audits to ensure timely release of financial statements as well as compliance with statutory requirements.
• Coordinate with auditors, tax agents, and company secretaries for any statutory filings or queries.
• Submit SST (Sales & Service Tax) returns and corporate tax filings accurately; address queries from tax agents or auditors without delay.
• Alert the Finance Manager immediately regarding any irregularities or discrepancies identified during routine operations.

What You Bring:

The ideal candidate for the Senior Accounts Executive position brings proven experience in supervising finance teams within complex environments such as construction or engineering industries. Your academic background includes at least a degree in accountancy which equips you with comprehensive knowledge of accounting standards. You have spent over five years honing your skills in similar roles where you managed full-set accounts using ERP systems—preferably Navision—and handled project costing alongside WIP revenue recognition. Your seamless communication enables discussion across multicultural teams while your interpersonal abilities foster collaborative relationships between departments like logistics or audit. Attention to detail is second nature; you consistently deliver accurate journal entries and reconciliations even under tight deadlines. Upholding legal requirements along with internal policies forms part of your professional ethos while adaptability allows you to respond quickly whenever queries arise from external stakeholders such as auditors or tax agents.

Key Requirements:

• Degree in Accountancy or higher qualification is required for this position to ensure foundational knowledge of accounting principles.
• Minimum five years of relevant working experience in a supervisory capacity within finance or accounting roles is essential for success.
• Experience working within the Construction or Engineering industry is highly preferred due to sector-specific requirements.
• Proficiency in ERP systems is mandatory; familiarity with Navision is especially advantageous for seamless integration into current processes.
• Demonstrated experience in project costing as well as Work-In-Progress (WIP) revenue recognition is crucial for accurate reporting.
• Ability to read and write fluently for effective communication across diverse teams.
• Excellent interpersonal skills are needed to foster collaboration among colleagues from different departments such as logistics or audit teams.
• Meticulous attention to detail ensures accuracy when preparing journals or reconciling accounts each month.
• Commitment to upholding legal standards as well as company policies guarantees compliance throughout all accounting activities.
• Adaptability when responding promptly to queries from auditors or tax agents reflects your dependability under pressure.
