Every decision starts with the numbers.
Accounting and finance teams give leadership a reliable view of where the business stands, whether that’s a clean P&L sign-off at a global bank, an accurate NAV at a hedge fund or a forecast an insurer’s executive team can plan around. With the right people in place, reporting holds up under scrutiny, finance change lands without disrupting the close, and decisions rest on figures leadership can trust.
We specialise in accounting and finance recruitment across Singapore’s Technology, Insurance, and Banking sectors and the multinational corporations alongside them, covering regulatory and management reporting, product control, fund and investment accounting, capital management, treasury, performance and expense management, FP&A and finance change.
Accounting & Finance recruitment for hirers
Every accounting and finance brief starts from shared understanding, because the consultant behind it specialises in this one area of the market rather than working as a generalist. That focus lets us keep our market knowledge current every day. We track how ERP migrations and reporting through MAS’ Data Collection Gateway are reshaping finance teams, how new roles such as finance target operating model leads are being defined, and how pay is moving across regulatory reporting, product control, treasury and FP&A. When we talk through your requirement, the conversation draws on up-to-date market intelligence, and we can share what we are seeing to help you plan the hire with confidence.
We recruit across finance, from reporting and control through to planning and change:
- Financial Regulatory Reporting: MAS returns and bank reporting specialists for banks, insurers and other regulated financial institutions
- Fund Accounting: NAV and fund reporting professionals for hedge funds
- Product Control: P&L validation, price verification and valuations specialists who work closely with trading desks
- Investment Accounting: portfolio valuation and investment reporting professionals for insurers, reinsurers and hedge funds
- Financial Management Reporting: MIS and executive dashboard specialists who give leadership a timely view of performance
- Capital Management & Reporting: Basel III and solvency specialists for banks and insurers working within evolving capital rules
- Performance Management: professionals who connect financial results with business targets across divisions
- Finance Change: target operating model, ERP and system migration specialists who modernise how finance works
- Treasury: liquidity, asset liability management and funding professionals for banks, insurers and multinational corporations
- Expense Management: cost control and procurement finance specialists who give the business clear sight of spend
- Financial Planning & Analysis: budgeting and forecasting professionals who shape plans leadership can rely on
If you’re building finance capability in-house, our conversations cover team shape and reporting lines as much as individual skills. This applies whether you’re at a global bank, hedge fund, insurer or multinational corporation. A regulatory reporting team preparing for a new submission cycle needs a different blend from an FP&A function supporting regional growth. We’ll help you decide:
- Which roles to make permanent
- Where contract support covers a peak such as year-end or a system cutover
- When executive search suits a senior appointment
If you’re a professional services firm resourcing client engagements, we keep the focus on delivery. Candidates need to be ready to work alongside client finance teams from the start. They also need to be comfortable with each engagement’s sector context, whether that’s a bank’s capital reporting or an insurer’s investment accounting.
For international hires, Employment Pass candidates need to meet a qualifying salary and pass the points-based COMPASS framework. The qualifying salary is higher in financial services and is due to rise for new applications from January 2027. We factor this into timelines and offer planning from the outset. We offer permanent, contract and executive search hiring.
The same finance skills apply differently depending on where the role sits:
- Global banks: regulatory and capital reporting, product control and treasury across trading, lending and digital banking, including fintech teams within financial institutions.
- Hedge funds: fund accounting, product control and investment reporting, where accuracy and timing matter to investors.
- Global insurers and reinsurers: investment accounting, capital and solvency reporting and finance change, including insurtech teams within established insurers.
- Multinational corporations: FP&A, treasury, performance and expense management for FMCG and consumer goods businesses and professional services firms with finance functions in Singapore.
Finance hiring decisions rest on detail: which returns someone has owned, which valuations they’ve validated, which close processes they’ve run. Our consultants explore that detail early, before anyone reaches your interview stage. We look for evidence of what candidates have reported, controlled and changed, and how they’ve worked with auditors, regulators and business stakeholders.
We share current salary insight, realistic availability and a view of how similar profiles are moving in Singapore, so you can plan with confidence. Our Singapore office was established in 2014. Our network of 900,000+ candidates includes finance professionals who aren’t actively looking or visible on job boards.
Accounting & Finance market intelligence
The frameworks behind a brief depend on where the role sits.
- Banking: Singapore’s final Basel III reforms took effect from July 2024, with the output floor phasing in to 2029. They form part of the context for capital management and regulatory reporting roles, alongside reporting through MAS’ Data Collection Gateway.
- Insurers and reinsurers: solvency and capital reporting experience carries similar weight.
- Hedge funds: NAV and valuation experience across complex portfolios comes into focus.
CA (Singapore), ACCA, CPA and CFA are well recognised across the market. What our consultants explore is how candidates have applied them. Have they owned a regulatory return end to end, rebuilt a reporting process during a system migration, or worked through a valuation challenge with a trading desk? In finance change and FP&A, ERP migration and planning experience can matter as much as the qualification itself.
Accounting and finance pay in Singapore reflects how closely a role connects to the balance sheet, capital and change. Treasury and finance change sit at the upper end of the market, with capital management and regulatory reporting close behind. Fund and investment accounting and expense management start from a lower base.

AI tools are taking on more reconciliation, variance commentary and first-draft reporting work in some finance teams. As that happens, the value of a finance hire moves towards accountability. That means understanding where a figure came from, testing whether an automated output is right and standing behind it with the board, auditors or regulator.
For financial institutions, MAS issued its Guidelines on Artificial Intelligence Risk Management in October 2026. They set out supervisory expectations for managing AI risks, including financial risks where AI supports risk management. Finance professionals who can work with risk and technology colleagues on controls, testing and oversight are well placed as those expectations take hold.
When you’re interviewing, asking candidates how they’ve checked or challenged an automated output can tell you a lot about their judgement.
Singapore’s fund management community kept expanding through 2025, and insurance assets grew at more than twice the pace of banking assets over the year. Treasury and FP&A skills are sought by multinational corporations too. That widens the range of organisations seeking fund and investment accounting, capital reporting and treasury experience.
The same experience is valued across banks, funds, insurers and corporates. A clear picture of what your role offers in scope, systems and progression helps it stand out to the candidates you want to reach.
