About AlgoGroup
AlgoGroup operates a pet healthcare + e-commerce platform across Hong Kong and Asia. We’re a fast-moving operator with tight cash discipline. Finance here is not “back office.” It’s a decision engine: cashflow, profitability, inventory discipline, and growth insights. This is a senior hire: we value people who can say - ‘here’s what changed, here’s why, and here’s what we should do next.’ If you prefer a role where you only post numbers and stay silent, this won’t fit.
If you enjoy being close to the business, building systems, and surfacing insights—not just closing books—this role will fit.
What Success Looks Like
Within 30–60 days, you can:
- Produce a weekly pack that leadership can act on immediately (not just raw numbers)
- Explain what changed, why it changed, and what to do about it
- Build simple dashboards and processes that reduce manual work
- Run month-end close with a clear checklist and clean reconciliations
Your Mission
You will own the weekly finance operating pack and help build a repeatable finance system:
- full-set accounting discipline (accurate books)
- FP&A-style analysis (variance, runway, unit economics, early warnings)
- reporting that creates decisions (not reports that sit unread)
- SOPs + automation so outputs don’t rely on heroics
Key Responsibilities
1) Weekly Finance Operating Pack (Decision-Grade)
- Produce a weekly pack covering: cash position, burn/runway trend, AP/AR aging, key expense movements, and business drivers
- Provide variance commentary (what moved, why, what action is needed, and owner)
- Flag risks early (e.g., runway compression, unusual spend, margin deterioration) with clear explanation and recommended actions
2) FP&A + Business Insights (Practical, not academic)
- Build and maintain a simple rolling cash forecast (e.g., 13-week view)
- Track key KPIs (gross margin, contribution margin, key cost buckets, marketing efficiency where relevant)
- Identify and quantify improvement levers (working capital, vendor terms, cost control, pricing/discount effects)
3) Full-Set Accounting + Close
- Own or co-own month-end close timeline and checklist
- Ensure reconciliations are completed consistently (bank, key balance sheet accounts)
- Maintain clean audit trail and documentation discipline
4) Systems, Dashboards, Automation
- Standardize chart of accounts, vendor coding, entity mapping
- Build dashboards and reporting views in Power BI and/or advanced Google Sheets (Looker Studio acceptable)
- Use AI/automation to reduce manual effort (examples: templated variance commentary, automated data pulls/cleanups, structured close checklists, reconciliations support)
Tools You’ll Use
- QuickBooks Online (must have)
- Google Sheets (packs, mapping, trackers)
- Power BI / Looker Studio (preferred)
- Drive/Slack/WhatsApp for coordination
Requirements (Must Have)
- 8–12+ years experience in accounting/finance (SME / multi-entity preferred)
- Full-set accounting capability (journal entries, reconciliations, close)
- Strong QuickBooks Online experience
- Comfortable building packs and explaining variances clearly (written + verbal)
- Strong ownership mindset: you raise issues early and propose actions
- Can work from office in Pasig, Metro Manila (WFO)
Strongly Preferred
- FP&A experience (forecasting, cash runway, variance analysis)
- E-commerce / startup experience (Shopify, marketplaces, inventory businesses)
- Dashboard/reporting skills (Power BI / Sheets)
- Experience improving processes and reducing manual work

- Share 1–2 examples of how you use AI/automation to work faster/cleaner
