Ninja Van is a tech-enabled logistics company on a mission to provide hassle-free delivery services for businesses of all sizes across Southeast Asia. Launched in 2014, we started operations in Singapore and have become the region's largest and fastest growing last-mile logistics company, partnering with over 35,000 merchants and delivering more than 1,000 parcels every minute across six countries.
At our core, we are a technology company that is disrupting a massive industry with cutting-edge software and operational concepts. Powered by algorithm-based optimisation, dynamic routing, end-to-end tracking and a data-driven approach, we provide best-of-class delivery services that delight both the shippers and end customers. But we are just getting started! We have much room for improvement and many ideas that will further shape the industry.
The Senior Finance Manager owns the full finance function for the company— accounting, controls, tax, treasury, and management reporting — and partners with the country leadership team to scale the business profitably. The role is the finance leader on the ground in the Philippines, and is critical to the country's path to sustainable, well-controlled growth.

Key Responsibilties

  • Own the full spectrum of finance operations for the company — general accounting, AP, AR, treasury, payroll, tax, and statutory compliance — with end-to-end accountability for financial and operational controls in-country.

  • Lead the month-end close in NetSuite, ensuring accurate and timely close in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) and aligned to IFRS for group reporting; deliver the country management pack with insight-rich financial analysis to local and regional leadership.

  • Own end-to-end tax compliance and strategy: BIR filings (VAT, EWT/FWT, income tax, SAWT/QAP, alphalists), eFPS submissions, BIR audits and Letters of Authority, transfer pricing documentation, and proactive tax planning; ensure full statutory compliance including audited financial statements and SEC/BIR annual filings.

  • Lead treasury and working capital management — daily cash positioning, cashflow forecasting, COD reconciliation, banking relationships, and FX exposure where applicable.

  • Manage end-to-end accounts receivable, including shipper billing accuracy, aging discipline, dispute resolution SLAs; minimise billing leakage and bad debt.

  • Drive financial planning & analysis (FP&A) for the country: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and decision support — including unit economics (cost-per-parcel, contribution margin per shipper) used in pricing and network decisions.

  • Partner across Commercial, Operations, and HR functions — providing financial guidance on new product launches, network changes, pricing decisions, and cost initiatives; develop and embed finance SOPs that scale with the business.

  • Continuously improve the finance operating model: optimize NetSuite (recurring journals, bank auto-match, AP automation, dimension-tagged hub P&Ls), strengthen internal controls, and raise process efficiency across billing, procurement, payroll, AP, AR, close, and reporting.

  • Lead, develop, and motivate the country finance team — coaching direct reports, building capability, and creating clear succession

Key Requirements and Qualifications

  • 10+ years of progressive, hands-on finance experience covering the full operations stack (GL, AP, AR, treasury, payroll) plus deep tax (BIR compliance, audits, transfer pricing) — ideally combining Big 4 audit/tax foundations with industry experience at a high-growth tech, e-commerce, or logistics business.

  • Working knowledge of NetSuite is required (administration, customisation of saved searches and reports, period-close best practice).

  • Strong knowledge of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS), IFRS, and the Philippine tax code (NIRC) with deep working knowledge of BIR processes (eFPS, eBIRForms, LOA handling).

  • Proven people-leadership experience — built, coached, and retained finance teams; comfortable being both player and coach in a scaleup environment.

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field.

  • CPA in good standing with the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is required.

  • MBA or other relevant postgraduate degree is a plus
