Financial Operations Accountant

Job Description

About Us
We are a professional services firm in Phnom Penh. Our books run on our own cloud platform, and we work with remote consultants who verify the accounts and advise on compliance.

The Role
You own the books, end to end. Entries, reconciliation, month close, and the government filing calendar. You are also the daily user of our internal finance platform, which means part of your job is telling us where it is wrong and what it should do instead.

This is a hands-on role and you might have to supervise a junior.

Core responsibilities

• Record journal entries in our internal platform, daily
• Reconcile bank, cash, AR and AP every month
• Close the month on a fixed calendar and write a short explanation of what moved and why, in language a non-accountant can follow
• Maintain the compliance calendar: what has to be filed, to whom, by when. Prepare the filings and submit them
• Package source documents for our external consultants and answer their questions without being chased
• Raise defects and improvement requests on our platform as you hit them. We expect this weekly, not occasionally

How we work

• Every morning you post the day's plan. Every evening you report what was done and what was not
• Everything of consequence is written down. Verbal answers do not close items
• We work across time zones with remote consultants. Written clarity is the job
• A fast "I am stuck on this" is worth more to us than a slow "I sorted it out"

Job Requirements

What we are looking for

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on accounting. You have closed months, not only entered documents
• You can explain a number to someone who is not an accountant, in writing, without being asked twice. This is the most important requirement on this list
• Working knowledge of Cambodian tax filings and the deadlines attached to them
• A plus: experience dealing directly with authorities such as MOC, GDT and ACAR
• Khmer for local documents and government offices, clear written English for daily work with remote colleagues and consultants
• You raise problems the moment you see them. Silent fixes are a firing offense here, not a style preference
• Comfort with cloud tools: accounting systems, shared storage, task trackers, chat

What we are not looking for

• Chief accountant or finance manager profiles. This role does the work
• Anyone who prefers to keep the books to themselves and present results later
• Certification for its own sake. We care what you can do, and we will test it

Hiring process

1. Submit by email your CV and a short note on why the role interests you
2. A practical assessment done in our office, roughly two hours. It tests whether you can find what is wrong in a set of accounts and explain it clearly in writing
3. Interview with the team
