About The Role

You will take full ownership of Bethel Chambers' finance function — the complete cycle from bookkeeping through to statutory reporting — working directly with the Managing Director rather than through an intermediary. This is a hands-on, all-in role suited to someone who wants to own a finance function outright, not administer a slice of one.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare journal entries, accruals and adjustments, and manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, the general ledger, bank reconciliations, and month-end and year-end close, across the firm's operating accounts

Maintain and reconcile the firm's various accounts — including office accounts and client accounts — with the accuracy and segregation that client-money handling in a law practice requires

Prepare and submit GST returns, process CPF submissions, support ECI and corporate income tax filings, and handle annual IR8A submissions for staff

Prepare monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and cash-flow reporting for the Managing Director

Manage the firm's banking relationships and day-to-day cash position, and handle payment vouchers and inter-account transfers

Maintain the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals and depreciation schedules

Process staff expense claims in line with firm policy

Manage client invoicing, follow up on collections, and process payments and disbursements

Act as the firm's primary point of contact with auditors, the corporate secretary, and external tax advisers

Maintain accurate, well-documented financial records — including reconciliations and audit schedules — that stand up to audit and statutory scrutiny at any time
