Over the years, we have received multiple awards and recognitions, including:

  • Best Business Awards

  • Singapore’s Finest Services

  • Top 10 Best Companies to Work For in Singapore

  • Top Corporate Consultant Leadership recognitions

We are known for combining professionalism, speed, strong technical standards, and exceptional client service .

As we continue expanding, we are looking for a capable and highly driven Assistant Accounts Manager to strengthen our Accounting team.

This is not simply a senior accounting role with a different title.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of a team and portfolio, review work confidently, solve technical accounting issues, improve productivity, and help ensure that jobs are completed accurately and on time .

If you are an experienced accounting professional who is ready to move beyond preparing accounts and take on genuine management responsibilities, we would love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Assist in managing the day-to-day operations of the Accounting team

  • Oversee and manage a portfolio of Singapore companies across various industries

  • Review full sets of accounts prepared by Accounts Executives and Senior Accounts Executives

  • Review monthly, quarterly, and annual management accounts

  • Review balance sheet schedules, bank reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, intercompany balances, and other accounting adjustments

  • Review financial statements and supporting schedules

  • Review GST computations and submissions

  • Review audit schedules and assist in resolving auditors' queries

  • Handle more complex accounting and financial reporting matters

  • Identify errors, unusual transactions, accounting risks, and potential issues before work is finalised

  • Ensure accounting work is completed accurately and within agreed timelines

  • Monitor outstanding jobs, client documents, deadlines, and team workload

  • Allocate and prioritise work across team members where required

  • Follow up proactively on delayed or outstanding assignments

  • Provide technical guidance and support to Accounts Executives and Senior Accounts Executives

  • Review the quality and productivity of team members under your supervision

  • Coach junior staff and help improve their technical competency and efficiency

  • Conduct or support internal accounting training

  • Assist with onboarding and training new team members

  • Communicate directly with clients on more complex accounting matters

  • Handle escalated client queries professionally and efficiently

  • Work closely with managers and other departments such as Tax and Corporate Secretarial

  • Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and recurring problems within accounting workflows

  • Recommend and implement practical process improvements

  • Make effective use of AI, automation, and accounting technology to improve team productivity

  • Support the Accounts Manager in maintaining service quality, turnaround time, and team performance

  • Take charge of the department or relevant team matters when required

What We’re Looking For

You should ideally have:

  • Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline

  • At least 4 to 6 years of relevant accounting experience

  • Strong experience preparing and reviewing full sets of accounts

  • Prior experience supervising, reviewing, or guiding junior accounting staff

  • Experience in an accounting firm, corporate services firm, or outsourced accounting environment will be highly advantageous

  • Strong knowledge of Singapore accounting and financial reporting requirements

  • Good practical knowledge of GST

  • Experience preparing and reviewing financial statements and audit schedules

  • Ability to independently resolve accounting discrepancies and technical issues

  • Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or similar platforms

  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills

  • Good analytical and problem-solving ability

  • Strong attention to detail

  • Ability to manage multiple portfolios, team members, and deadlines simultaneously

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Confidence communicating with clients and internal stakeholders

  • Good leadership and people-management potential

  • Strong sense of accountability and ownership

Professional qualifications such as ACCA, CA Singapore, CPA, or equivalent will be an advantage, but are not mandatory if you have strong practical experience and demonstrated capability.

The Kind of Person Who Will Do Well Here

You are likely to thrive at Margin Wheeler if you:

  • Think like an owner rather than simply completing assigned tasks

  • Take responsibility for both your own work and the performance of the people you supervise

  • Do not wait for problems to become urgent before acting

  • Are comfortable making decisions and solving problems independently

  • Can balance quality, accuracy, productivity, and deadlines

  • Have high standards but remain practical and commercially sensible

  • Are willing to coach junior staff rather than simply correcting their mistakes

  • Can identify why recurring errors happen and improve the underlying process

  • Communicate proactively when there is a risk of delay

  • Are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

  • Are receptive to feedback and constantly look for ways to improve

  • Are interested in using AI and automation to improve how accounting work is performed

  • Want to progress into a full management position based on performance

We value managers who are hands-on, technically competent, decisive, efficient, accountable, and willing to lead from the front .

Why Join Margin Wheeler?

A Genuine Path Into Management

This role is designed for experienced accounting professionals who are ready to build real management experience.

For strong performers, the career progression can be:

Assistant Accounts Manager → Accounts Manager → Senior Accounts Manager → Head of Department

We believe progression should be based on capability, results, leadership, and responsibility , not simply how many years you have been in the company.

Build and Lead a Strong Team

You will have opportunities to coach junior accountants, review their work, improve their performance, and help develop a stronger Accounting team.

You will not simply be responsible for your own portfolio.

Your ability to help the entire team perform better will be an important part of your role.

Broad and Challenging Accounting Exposure

You will work with a diverse portfolio of Singapore companies across different industries and business models.

You will also handle more complex accounting issues and review work prepared by other accounting professionals.

This provides significantly broader exposure than working within the finance department of a single company.

Work in a Technology-Driven Accounting Environment

We actively invest in AI, automation, and technology to improve the way accounting work is performed.

We believe accounting professionals should spend less time on repetitive administrative work and more time on work requiring judgement, technical knowledge, and client understanding.

Managers are encouraged to actively identify processes that can be improved or automated.

Clear Performance Expectations

We believe capable employees perform best when expectations are clear.

You will have defined responsibilities and measurable performance expectations covering areas such as:

  • Quality of work

  • Turnaround time

  • Portfolio management

  • Team productivity

  • Review quality

  • Client service

  • Staff development

  • Process improvement

Strong performance will be recognised.

Opportunity to Make an Impact

We are a growing organisation, which means good ideas can actually be implemented.

If you see a better way of doing something, we want you to raise it.

This role gives you the opportunity to contribute not only as an accountant, but also to how the Accounting department operates and develops.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience and capability

  • 5-day work week, Monday to Friday

  • Annual leave entitlement with additional leave based on length of service

  • Medical and dental benefits

  • Regular performance reviews

  • Training and professional development opportunities

  • Exposure to a diverse portfolio of Singapore companies

  • Genuine management and leadership responsibilities

  • Clear career progression opportunities

  • Opportunities to participate in process improvement and automation initiatives

  • A modern workplace that actively adopts technology and AI

  • Stable and established organisation with more than a decade of operating history

Ready to Step Into Management?

If you are already a strong Senior Accounts Executive, Accounting Supervisor, or Assistant Manager and are looking for an opportunity where you can lead people, take ownership, solve problems, and progress into a larger management role , we encourage you to apply.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are hands-on, technically strong, efficient, accountable, and ambitious about building a long-term career in accounting management .
