Management/Accounting (Manager Candidate)

JAPAN AI, a Geniee group company, is hiring a candidate for Accounting and Administration manager, with an initial public offering in view. The person builds an accounting and finance set-up that provides accurate, quick management information and sound internal controls, and is expected to work under a planned CFO later.

The main duties are overseeing and upgrading accounting, including monthly closings, organising complex accounting issues, corporate tax and tax-effect calculations, dealing with the audit firm and introducing accounting systems, and managing the team through organisation design, hiring and development. Depending on interest and skill, the person can also support IPO preparation (disclosure, accounting standards, internal rules), M&A work (financial due diligence and post-merger accounting integration) and management analysis.

Applicants need either three years or more as accounting head or manager at a business company (including complex accounting issues, or an interest in the IPO process) or five years or more in audit or corporate accounting, together with experience managing three or more people. A certified public accountant licence, IPO experience and J-SOX experience are preferred.
