Accounting Consultant at Newbridge in Singapore

Companies don't call us when things are steady. They call us when something big is happening -they're buying a business, selling one, splitting one off, raising money, or going public.

When that happens, their finance team is suddenly stretched. They need someone sharp who can drop in, get up to speed fast, and make the numbers make sense.

That's this job.

What a typical month actually feels like

One week you might be sitting with a CFO, pulling apart how a target business really operates -where the costs hide, where the risks are, what the buyer needs to know before signing.

The next week you could be helping separate a subsidiary's accounts from its parent, so it can stand alone cleanly.

Then you might be embedded in a client's own team for a few weeks, covering the heavy accounting work while they're short-staffed or going through a system change.

You'll also spend time turning messy finance processes into cleaner ones, and explaining new reporting rules in plain English so clients can actually apply them.

You're not in the back office. You're in the meeting, on the call, in the client's office, asking questions and building trust.

You'll like this if you:

You get bored doing the same month-end close every month.

You like walking into a new business, figuring out how it works quickly, and being useful from week one.

You're comfortable talking to senior people - finance heads, auditors, management - and you can explain a technical point without jargon.

You've spent 2-5 years in audit, accounting or finance, and you know your way around IFRS. You might have ACA, ACCA, CA, CPA, an MBA, or an accounting degree - we care more about what you can do than the exact letters.

You work well without being micromanaged. You notice when something doesn't add up. You follow through.

And you actually enjoy client work - the variety, the pressure, the learning.

What's in it for you

You won't be on one client, doing one task, for 12 months.

You'll see different industries, different deal types, different finance teams. You'll learn faster here in a year than in three years in a single-company role.

You'll get to run pieces of work yourself. You'll be trusted early. You'll work with people who've done this at a high level and who will push you to get better.

And where you work is flexible -sometimes at our office, sometimes from home, sometimes on client site. It depends on what the project needs that week.
