About Arki

Arki Finance is a Singapore-based fintech company building a hyperpersonalized wealth management platform for affluent and mass affluent clients. We combine investment management, goal-based planning, technology, and behavioral insights to help clients manage their wealth by time horizon, purpose, and life goals.

As we scale our regulated wealth management platform, we are looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to build and strengthen our finance operations, reporting, controls, and governance infrastructure.

Role Overview

The Finance Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day finance function of Arki Finance, including accounting operations, management reporting, budgeting, cashflow management, audit coordination, regulatory finance support, and internal financial controls.

The Finance Manager will work closely with the CEO, COO, Compliance team, external accountants, auditors, tax advisors, company secretary, and fractional CFO. Over time, this role may evolve into a broader finance leadership position as the company scales.
