This is a leadership role for someone who combines technical accounting depth with the ability to manage people, build systems, and communicate clearly with senior management.

• Ensure the team meets all deadlines for payments, reporting, and statutory submissions.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for the accounting function when the Head of Accounting is unavailable.

• Prepare and review financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement) in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards (VAS).

• Analyze financial results and provide commentary for management review.

• Consolidate financial data from subsidiary entities when required.

Tax & Compliance

• Oversee the preparation and submission of all statutory tax declarations: VAT, CIT, PIT, and others as required.

• Ensure full compliance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, tax laws, and internal control policies.

• Liaise with external auditors and tax authorities; prepare supporting documentation for audits and inspections.

• Monitor changes in accounting and tax regulations and communicate implications to the team and management.

Cost Accounting & Financial Control

• Oversee cost tracking for export-import operations, raw material procurement, and manufacturing activities across subsidiaries.

• Review and approve payment documents, supplier invoices, and expense claims.

• Identify and implement process improvements to strengthen internal controls and increase accounting efficiency.

Budgeting & Planning Support

• Assist the Head of Accounting in preparing annual budgets and periodic financial forecasts.

• Monitor actual performance against budget; flag significant variances and recommend corrective actions.

Reporting & Communication

• Prepare and present regular financial reports to the Head of Accounting and Finance Director.

• Communicate proactively with Operations, Sales, Procurement, and other departments to ensure accurate and timely financial data.

• Perform other tasks as assigned by senior management.
