Chief Accountant (45-50M)

Closing the books for several entities is only part of this seat. The same accounting decisions connect tax, cross-border payments, cash flow, and new-company processes; the CFO needs someone who can keep those threads consistent without stepping away from the detail.1. About the roleYou will own accounting integrity across multiple entities while supporting the CFO with timely reporting, controls, and the financial implications of investment-office decisions. This is a hands-on accounting leadership role spanning domestic and overseas entities, not a purely advisory or sign-off position.2. What you'll ownThe close and accounting operations.

Why this moveFor a Chief Accountant who wants the next role to widen the kind of accounting decisions they handle, the appeal is the mix of group controls, tax, cash flow, and new-entity setup alongside the CFO. The same mix also makes this less suitable for someone seeking a narrowly defined single-company close or a remote-first role.5. Why Work HereThe investment-office setting brings conventional financial businesses and technology-backed ventures into the wider picture. The attraction for an accounting leader is the chance to see how reporting, controls, and funding questions connect across different business lines—without assuming that this role sits inside, or controls, every portfolio company. The work also involves international projects and direct collaboration with the CFO and CEO on specific finance matters.Monthly base salary: 40-50M Career path to a more senior position.A Monday-to-Friday office scheduleAdditional personal insurance coverage for family members is included; covered dependents and policy terms follow the plan.Other benefits (discuss details during the interview)6.

The wider portfolio spans conventional financial services and technology-backed ventures, with consumer and food-service interests as well. These are business lines in the broader ecosystem, not a statement that every team works on every venture.Based in Ho Chi Minh City for this opening, the office needs accounting that can connect reporting and controls across multiple entities to investment-related decisions. The precise employing entity and the set of businesses supported by this position are useful points to discuss in the first conversation.
