The Role

Job Title: Finance Manager

Location: Hong Kong, HK

Why this role matters

As we scale, we refuse to build a bloated finance department bogged down by legacy processes. This role exists because we need a sharp, CPA-qualified strategic thinker who can bridge the gap between rigorous financial accounting and modern system automation. By automating our core financial workflows, you will ensure our lean team stays fast, agile, and ahead of the curve.

What you'll do

You will take full, end-to-end ownership of our Hong Kong financial operations and system architecture.

• Lead the entire monthly closing process with absolute precision and efficiency.
• Architect and optimize automated workflows for invoicing, expense management, and treasury operations.
• Drive our FP&A function, translating financial data into actionable strategic insights for the CEO.
• Integrate Claude and other advanced AI productivity tools directly into our daily financial systems.
• Manage cash flow and treasury functions to support our rapid regional growth.

Who this is a fit for

• Qualified CPA with a strong background in corporate financial management.
• Bilingual communicator fully fluent in both written and spoken English and Cantonese.
• AI-forward operator with hands-on experience using tools like Claude for process automation.
• Proven financial manager who has owned monthly closing, treasury, and FP&A functions.
• Autonomous builder who thrives without hand-holding in rapid, fast-deciding environments.

What it's like to work here

The company operates in a highly dynamic, fast-paced environment where decisions are made quickly and efficiently. Team members are expected to be adaptable, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of their work without excessive bureaucracy.

The offer

• Direct CEO access with a seat at the table to influence strategic business decisions.
• True operational autonomy to design, build, and run financial systems your way.
• Cutting-edge tech stack with the freedom to experiment and implement advanced AI tools.
• High-impact environment free from excessive bureaucracy and slow corporate sign-offs.

This probably isn't for you if

• You prefer established playbooks and need a structured corporate hierarchy to guide your daily tasks.
• You do not use AI tools and prefer handling monthly closing, invoices, and expenses manually.
• You struggle with fast-paced decision making or prefer long, multi-layered approval processes.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
