We Are Hiring - Finance Operations Associate

Job Description by Daniel Thong

For the past couple of years, we have been operating as an office cleaning provider. Unlike other gig-economy platforms, we hire and train cleaners , handy workers as our own employees paying them generous wages and never shirking our responsibilities to them. We believe paying people well is the foundation of any good business and we think there’s a massive opportunity to disrupt the facilities space.

More importantly, providing a great service earns the trust of our customers and allows us to  sell them other office facilities services that we believe we can provide.

Through it all, we have slowly evolved into an office management solution for our customers, tackling a wide variety of services that goes into running an office - from disposal services to landscaping services, setting up a pantry, coffee machine/beans rental to pest control services. These are some of the services we can do for our customers.

In spite of all this growth, our P&L and budget controls still remains relatively primitive.

We do have our live P&L data, shareholder reports etc but it has never been a priority in the business.

Perhaps it’s because the founders are hands-on sales and process people and not finance people.

Perhaps it’s because we prefer building rather than analysing.

But this is no excuse. As we scale and grow -potentially beyond our shores in the next few years- we acknowledge we now need someone to watch over our financials and our operations from a numerical perspective. Not only because we need it for shareholder accountability purposes, but for future budgeting, fundraising and planning of overseas expansion.

This is just to name a few things you would be doing when you lead the finance team.We will need to also standardise our HR salary ranges, but execute and track our employee share scheme and many more.

How does that challenge sound to you?
