Job Description
Responsibilities
Bethel Chambers is a Singapore law firm with an international outlook, acting for families, individuals and businesses across borders. Our work spans private client and legacy matters — estate planning, probate, trusts, family law, and mental capacity — alongside corporate and cross-border transactions handled through our Beyond Horizons practice.
As the firm grows, we are building out a small, capable in-house team to support the practice — starting with this role.
You will take full ownership of Bethel Chambers' finance function — the complete cycle from bookkeeping through to statutory reporting — working directly with the Managing Director rather than through an intermediary. This is a hands-on, all-in role suited to someone who wants to own a finance function outright, not administer a slice of one.
Manage full set of accounts — prepare journal entries, accruals and adjustments, and manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, the general ledger, bank reconciliations, and month-end and year-end close, across the firm's operating accounts.
Multiple account structures — maintain and reconcile the firm's various accounts — including office accounts and client accounts — with the accuracy and segregation that client-money handling in a law practice requires.
Statutory and regulatory filings — prepare and submit GST returns, process CPF submissions, support ECI and corporate income tax filings, and handle annual IR8A submissions for staff.
Management reporting — prepare monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and cash-flow reporting for the Managing Director.
Banking and cash flow — manage the firm's banking relationships and day-to-day cash position, and handle payment vouchers and inter-account transfers.
Fixed assets — maintain the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals and depreciation schedules.
Staff claims — process staff expense claims in line with firm policy.
Invoicing and collections — manage client invoicing, follow up on collections, and process payments and disbursements.
External liaison — act as the firm's primary point of contact with auditors, the corporate secretary, and external tax advisers.
Records and audit-readiness — maintain accurate, well-documented financial records — including reconciliations and audit schedules — that stand up to audit and statutory scrutiny at any time.
General administration — support day-to-day office administration as needed, including finance-related correspondence and vendor management.
Any other duties as may be assigned by the Managing Director from time to time.
Bethel Chambers LLC is a Singapore law firm for private clients, families, and businesses — spanning estate planning, corporate, dispute resolution, and cross-border matters.
