About the role

  • Senior Finance Manager leading finance operations at Ninja Van, a logistics tech company in Southeast Asia. Responsible for accounting, compliance, and financial strategy in the Philippines.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full spectrum of finance operations for the company — general accounting, AP, AR, treasury, payroll, tax, and statutory compliance — with end-to-end accountability for financial and operational controls in-country.
  • Lead the month-end close in NetSuite, ensuring accurate and timely close in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) and aligned to IFRS for group reporting; deliver the country management pack with insight-rich financial analysis to local and regional leadership.
  • Own end-to-end tax compliance and strategy: BIR filings (VAT, EWT/FWT, income tax, SAWT/QAP, alphalists), eFPS submissions, BIR audits and Letters of Authority, transfer pricing documentation, and proactive tax planning; ensure full statutory compliance including audited financial statements and SEC/BIR annual filings.
  • Lead treasury and working capital management — daily cash positioning, cashflow forecasting, COD reconciliation, banking relationships, and FX exposure where applicable.
  • Manage end-to-end accounts receivable, including shipper billing accuracy, aging discipline, dispute resolution SLAs; minimise billing leakage and bad debt.
  • Drive financial planning & analysis (FP&A) for the country: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and decision support — including unit economics (cost-per-parcel, contribution margin per shipper) used in pricing and network decisions.
  • Partner across Commercial, Operations, and HR functions — providing financial guidance on new product launches, network changes, pricing decisions, and cost initiatives; develop and embed finance SOPs that scale with the business.
  • Continuously improve the finance operating model: optimize NetSuite (recurring journals, bank auto-match, AP automation, dimension-tagged hub P&Ls), strengthen internal controls, and raise process efficiency across billing, procurement, payroll, AP, AR, close, and reporting.
  • Lead, develop, and motivate the country finance team — coaching direct reports, building capability, and creating clear succession

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive, hands-on finance experience covering the full operations stack (GL, AP, AR, treasury, payroll) plus deep tax (BIR compliance, audits, transfer pricing) — ideally combining Big 4 audit/tax foundations with industry experience at a high-growth tech, e-commerce, or logistics business.
  • Working knowledge of NetSuite is required (administration, customisation of saved searches and reports, period-close best practice).
  • Strong knowledge of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS), IFRS, and the Philippine tax code (NIRC) with deep working knowledge of BIR processes (eFPS, eBIRForms, LOA handling).
  • Proven people-leadership experience — built, coached, and retained finance teams; comfortable being both player and coach in a scaleup environment.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field.
  • CPA in good standing with the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is required.
  • MBA or other relevant postgraduate degree is a plus
