Why this opportunity
A newly created position, not a mess you inherit from someone else
As the Japan real estate development projects have grown, finance work that 1–2 people used to handle on the side is no longer enough. This is a newly created dedicated role: rather than inheriting someone else's framework, you will build from scratch a financial management system that brings together multiple locations, including Japan, BVI, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Approachable requirements—the company values flexibility over credentials
A Big Four accounting firm background isn't required, and neither is 3–5 years of senior experience—2–3 years in finance or accounting is enough to be considered. The company cares more about your flexibility, cooperativeness, and potential than about years of experience.
Low language pressure—you won't have to handle spoken Japanese or English on your own
You'll work with financial materials in Japanese and English, but there is a dedicated accounting contact in Japan who handles closing and tax matters, so you won't have to carry Japanese communication alone. For English, only basic reading ability is required, and the company provides translation/AI tools, so no speaking ability is needed.
A streamlined interview process with no endless back-and-forth
If your résumé meets the requirements, you'll have one in-person interview (Da'an District, Taipei) and the decision is made in that single round—no long, multi-round process.
Report directly to the owner, with high visibility
The role has no direct reports and no involvement in investment decisions, but you will regularly brief the owner on cross-border finances and cash flow, and be closely involved in building the company's overall financial system and consolidating information for decision-making.
