What you'll do:

As Senior Accountant based in Jakarta, you will play a central role in maintaining the integrity of the organisation’s financial information while supporting both day-to-day operations and long-term strategic goals. Your responsibilities will span from overseeing statutory reporting cycles to mentoring junior staff members as they develop their own expertise.

In this role, your dedication to accuracy and ethical conduct will set the standard for others while reinforcing trust within the wider business community.

• Oversee the preparation of accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with local regulations and international accounting standards, ensuring all reporting deadlines are met without compromise.
• Supervise daily accounting operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger entries, and bank reconciliations to maintain precise financial records at all times.
• Coordinate internal and external audits by preparing required documentation, responding promptly to auditor queries, and implementing recommendations to strengthen financial controls.
• Develop, implement, and monitor robust internal control systems that safeguard company assets while promoting transparency and accountability throughout all financial processes.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams such as procurement, sales, and operations to provide timely financial insights that support informed decision-making across the business.
• Prepare detailed budgets and forecasts by gathering input from relevant departments, analysing trends, and presenting clear reports to senior management for strategic planning purposes.
• Ensure compliance with all tax regulations by preparing accurate tax returns, managing tax payments efficiently, and liaising with authorities as needed to resolve any issues promptly.
• Mentor junior members of the finance team by providing guidance on best practices in accounting procedures, encouraging their professional development through regular feedback sessions.
• Review existing accounting policies regularly to identify areas for improvement or alignment with evolving industry standards, recommending changes that enhance efficiency or accuracy.
• Support the implementation of new financial systems or software by participating in user testing, providing constructive feedback on functionality, and assisting colleagues during transition periods.

What you bring:

The ideal candidate for Senior Accountant brings not only technical proficiency but also a genuine passion for supporting others within a collaborative environment. Your background includes significant hands-on experience managing end-to-end accounting processes—from statutory reporting through audit coordination—within organisations known for their dependability. You possess recognised professional qualifications which underpin your deep understanding of both local PSAK rules and international IFRS frameworks. Your analytical mindset allows you to spot patterns quickly while remaining sensitive to details that could impact broader business objectives. As someone who communicates openly across departments, you excel at translating numbers into actionable insights for colleagues who may not share your expertise. Your familiarity with leading software platforms ensures smooth integration into existing workflows; meanwhile your patient mentorship style helps less experienced team members grow in confidence. Above all else, your honesty sets an example for those around you—reinforcing trust both inside the finance function and beyond.

• Extensive experience in accounting roles within medium-to-large organisations where you have demonstrated reliability in managing complex financial transactions accurately over sustained periods.
• Professional qualification such as ACCA, CPA or equivalent is highly desirable as it reflects your commitment to upholding high standards of practice within the field of accountancy.
• Thorough understanding of Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK) alongside familiarity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), enabling you to navigate both local and global requirements effectively.
• Proven track record of successfully leading audit processes from start to finish—including preparation of documentation, coordination with auditors, and implementation of recommendations—to ensure compliance at all times.
• Strong analytical skills that allow you to interpret large volumes of data quickly while identifying key trends or anomalies that require further investigation or action.
• Excellent communication abilities—both written and verbal—that enable you to explain complex financial matters clearly to non-finance colleagues or senior management alike.
• Experience using modern accounting software packages (such as SAP or Oracle) as well as advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data analysis or report generation tasks.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior staff members by sharing knowledge generously while offering constructive feedback that supports their ongoing development within the team.
• High level of integrity combined with a meticulous approach towards confidentiality when handling sensitive information related to payrolls or company finances.
• Adaptability when faced with changing regulations or new technologies—showing willingness to learn continuously so that best practices are always maintained.
