Finance and Accounts Manager

We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Finance & Accounts Manager to take ownership of the company’s finance and accounting function and ensure strong financial control, reporting accuracy, compliance, and effective financial decision-making. This is a hands-on management role requiring someone who can independently manage day-to-day finance operations while providing reliable financial insights to senior management.

The ideal candidate will bring proven experience in financial management, accounting operations, budgeting, cash-flow management, financial reporting, reconciliation, taxation, and audit coordination within a growing and commercially active organisation. The person should be comfortable taking ownership of financial processes, identifying weaknesses, improving systems, and ensuring that financial records and reporting remain accurate, timely, and well documented.

The role requires someone who can combine technical accounting knowledge with strong commercial understanding—someone who can interpret financial information, identify risks and opportunities, control costs, improve financial processes, and translate financial data into clear recommendations for management.

You will work closely with senior management and relevant business functions to support budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow planning, revenue and expense monitoring, and overall financial performance. The role will also involve coordinating with external accountants, auditors, banks, tax authorities, and other financial stakeholders where required.

As the company continues to grow, the Finance & Accounts Manager will play an important role in building stronger financial systems, improving internal controls, strengthening documentation, and creating scalable finance processes that support sustainable business growth.

The ideal candidate should be detail-oriented, analytical, ethical, organised, and highly accountable, while also being practical and hands-on enough to personally resolve financial and accounting issues when required. The position offers an opportunity to have direct influence over the organisation’s financial discipline, transparency, and long-term commercial sustainability.

• Build international-level standards for finance, procurement, and administration: Establish the financial baseline from day one; then systematically build the policies, SOPs, and controls that bring Smart Air Bangladesh’s operations to an international standard, so the company’s financial infrastructure is structurally sound, investor-ready, and scalable.
• Own the company-wide monthly reporting cycle: Deliver the full KPI dashboard (all departments), revenue vs target report, B2B accounts receivable tracker, FX impact note, and gross margin check to the Managing Director by the 5th of every month, because management cannot see whether the 3× revenue plan is on track without accurate, timely data.
• Drive B2B invoicing and accounts receivable: Issue every B2B invoice within 24 hours of purchase order confirmation; maintain the accounts receivable tracker actively; escalate overdue accounts at Day 10, Day 20, and Day 30, because a five-day invoice delay on a net-30 account directly costs cash flow.
• Ensure financial and regulatory compliance: Keep VAT, TDS/VDS, and audit obligations current; ensure every vendor has a signed contract before work begins; coordinate payment follow-up and price-consistency checks against agreed quotations, so the company is never exposed by a missed obligation or undocumented agreement.
• Own Black Friday financial controls: Prepare the pre-BF financial control document (margin guardrails, ad spend ceilings, discount levels); run daily revenue tracking during peak week; complete the post-BF reconciliation within two weeks, so the company’s highest-revenue month delivers clean financials and no margin leakage.
• Supervise the Accountant and Office Assistant: Review bookkeeping entries for accuracy and flag anomalies; oversee the Office Assistant’s logistical duties; prioritise workload for both direct reports, so execution is reliable and your time goes toward oversight, not data entry.
• Administer HR and support recruitment: Manage attendance, leave balances, health insurance, onboarding, and exit processes; implement HR policies that are practical, people-centred, and consistently applied; support with the full recruitment cycle for open roles (posting, CV screening, scheduling, and candidate communication).
• Build and protect company culture: Actively role-model Smart Air Bangladesh’s values in the daily rhythm of the office; create an environment where a team of young and experienced professionals feels supported, fairly treated, and motivated to do good work, and act on opportunities to strengthen how the team works together.
• Maintain external professional relationships: Manage working relationships with banking partners, the external accounting firm, government compliance bodies, and insurance providers; coordinate LC and import payment documentation so financial and administrative processes connect reliably to the institutions that support them.
• Own the Zoho Books financial system: Oversee the migration to Zoho Books and become the primary operator: set up the chart of accounts, B2B invoice templates, and bank reconciliation; monitor FX exposure monthly, so financial data is clean, centralised, and audit-ready.
