Do you enjoy building financial engines that keeps impact running smoothly?
At Mereka, we don't just process transactions — we create the systems that allow changemakers to focus on what matters. As an accredited social enterprise and education technology provider, we deploy transformative programs across the ASEAN region that drive entrepreneurship, social innovation, and sustainable development. We've conducted over 60 training programs reaching learners in 26 countries, partnered with Microsoft, Google, UNDP, and IKEA Social Entrepreneurship, and completed our own impact investment round. Behind every program is a financial operations backbone that needs to be efficient, accurate, and scalable.
We're now looking for a Finance & Accounts Assistant Manager who loves the nuts and bolts of financial operations! In this role, you will:
- Oversee accounts payable operations — manage vendor payments, invoice processing, payment runs, and ensure timely, accurate disbursements across multiple projects and currencies
- Streamline financial processes — identify bottlenecks, design workflows, implement automation, and continuously improve operational efficiency
- Manage cash flow and reconciliations — monitor bank accounts, conduct regular reconciliations, and ensure liquidity for day-to-day operations
- Strengthen internal controls — build and enforce AP policies, approval workflows, and financial governance to minimize risk and ensure compliance
- Coordinate multi-project budgets — track expenditures across programmes, flag variances, and support project teams with budget monitoring and reporting
- Support month-end close and reporting — ensure accurate financial records, prepare management reports, and provide operational insights to leadership
- Supervise and mentor finance staff — guide junior team members on processes, review their work, and build operational capacity within the team
We'd love to meet someone who:
- Has 3–5 years of hands-on experience in finance operations or accounts payable, ideally in project-based or mission-driven organizations
- Loves process improvement and has a track record of streamlining workflows, reducing manual work, or implementing better systems
- Is highly detail-oriented, proficient with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or similar), and thrives on accuracy and reconciliation
- Can manage multiple projects, vendors, and stakeholders while maintaining strong internal controls and financial discipline
- Is proactive, solutions-focused, and energized by making financial operations run smoothly
If you're the kind of person who gets excited about clean reconciliations, smooth payment runs, and building systems that scale — apply now.
