Accountant

About the Company

Hello Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MOMO) is a social and dating technology company. Our Singapore Regional Headquarters supports a team of approximately 50 people and serves as the base for the group's international operations across Asia and the Middle East. We are looking for an Accountant to join our Singapore finance team and own the full set of accounts for a portfolio of the group's Singapore and overseas entities.

About the Role

You will join a finance team reporting to the Regional Director, working closely with Hello Group's finance and tax teams at our Beijing headquarters. Each accountant owns a portfolio of group entities from month-end close through to audit and tax filing, so this is hands-on work with real responsibility from the start. We are a Nasdaq-listed company, but our Singapore office runs like a start-up. We operate deliberately lean, scopes are not rigidly bounded, and everyone carries a share of the operational load. The person who succeeds here will move comfortably between closing the books and answering auditors' queries in the morning, then processing payments or helping a business unit with a finance question in the afternoon, and will treat neither as beneath them.

We also expect this person to use modern AI and automation tools to compress the routine parts of the job. Reconciliations, settlement files and recurring reports can increasingly be automated, and we would rather hire someone who reclaims that time for higher-value work than someone who absorbs it manually.

Please note that our accounting system is a proprietary platform built in-house on Oracle and customised for our operations. It does not resemble conventional systems such as Xero, QuickBooks or SAP, and its interface is entirely in Chinese. Proficiency in Chinese and the ability to adapt quickly to an unfamiliar system are therefore critical for success in this role.

This role will be based in Singapore and report directly to the Regional Director

Hybrid working: 3 days in office, 2 days from home.

Office Location: VisionCrest Orchard
