Singapore-headquartered investment firm and MAS-licensed fund manager investing in private technology companies globally through two funds, with investment activity and operating presence in Singapore, UK and US.

The Role

High-visibility role supporting the firm's accounting, tax compliance, regulatory reporting and compliance, and fund operations across Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Work directly with the Financial Controller and serve as a key coordination point with network of external specialists — fund administrators, auditors, tax advisors, corporate secretaries and compliance consultants — across multiple jurisdictions.

The Finance function operates on a lean, outsourcing-led model: most production work (fund-level NAV, statutory accounts, tax filings) is performed by external service providers, and the Finance team's role is to direct, review, control and consolidate.
