Company description

AKA is an integrated communications agency based in Singapore, supporting our clients locally, regionally and globally by conceptualising and bringing to life compelling creative campaigns. Part of our offering is design and production support - from creating on-point infographics for an infant formula brand, through to shooting stylish cinema ads for a travel destination. Everyone at AKA is forward-thinking, collaborative, and passionate about delivering great work for our clients (plus we're a friendly bunch). We enjoy a flat hierarchy and expect everyone - no matter what level - to bring ideas to work every day, speak their mind, and positively contribute to the culture. We're proud to work with some of the world's leading brands - the likes of Durex, Meta, Jetstar Asia, Tourism New Zealand, and Levi's to name just a few.

Overview

AKA, an award-winning creative communications agency with specialisms spanning PR, social media, design and film production, is looking to fill the role of finance assistant.

This new role has been created to help support AKA’s continued growth, as the team has expanded its headcount in Singapore. Having recently joined the Publicis Groupe, we have also seen an uplift in financial reporting requirements, and the creation of this new role will help us fulfil these new requirements on time, and accurately.

You will work closely with a small finance team of three within AKA, and will also build a positive working relationship with the wider comms team, to ensure vendors are paid on time and accurately, and all associated paperwork is in place. To succeed in this role you will need to have solid interpersonal skills and be able to work both independently and as part of a team.

Responsibilities

Your role will see you assisting the finance team to:

• Prepare sales invoices

• Generate PO numbers

• Collate supporting documentation

• Upload information onto our financial software

• Support with the development of reports & analysis of data

• Manage vendors

• Liaise with the comms team to ensure they are kept up to date with payments to vendors and suppliers

• Check submitted reports (such as expense claims) and upload relevant information onto financial software

You will be meticulous in your approach to work, with an eye for detail and accuracy.

Qualifications

You ideally have some relevant experience under your belt having completed an internship or in a previous full-time role.

You will have completed a Finance / Accounting degree or equivalent and will have a basic understanding of finance and accounting principles.
