POSITION SUMMARY
LionsBot USA is seeking a Finance Manager to own the full finance and accounting function for our North American subsidiary. This is a critical role at a pivotal moment — we are actively restructuring and scaling our U.S. operations, building out our sales organization, service infrastructure, and dealer network, and we need a finance professional who can build the financial foundation the business runs on while also delivering the analytical insight that drives our decisions.
The Finance Manager is the most senior finance professional in the U.S. organization and serves as the primary financial partner to the President. This person will be responsible for financial close and reporting, gross margin and profitability analysis, pricing support, accounts receivable and collections, new customer credit review, statutory compliance across all U.S. states, and ongoing coordination with the LionsBot International finance team in Singapore.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on finance professional who can operate independently, build from scratch, and communicate clearly to non-finance executives. This is not a role for someone who needs to inherit an established function — it is an opportunity for someone who thrives on ownership and wants to build something meaningful.
This role reports directly to the President of LionsBot USA. For two specific areas — Group statutory reporting (excluding U.S. local statutory requirements) and cash flow management — the Finance Manager takes functional direction from the Head of Finance, LionsBot International, in Singapore. This dual-accountability structure reflects LionsBot's global operating model and requires someone who is comfortable working within it.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Monthly Close & Financial Reporting
Own the full month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process and deliver a clean management package — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, actuals vs. budget, and variance commentary — to the President by WD4, and to the Singapore HQ finance team no later than WD4, ensuring Singapore has adequate runway to complete Group consolidation on their side of the calendar
Prepare and present quarterly management packs and support executive presentations to global LionsBot leadership
Attend weekly coordination calls with the LionsBot International finance team in Singapore and maintain alignment on reporting formats, timelines, and intracompany requirements
Publish financial statements according to deadlines and complete all monthly, quarterly, and annual closings
Prepare weekly financial health and sales reports for the President and U.S. leadership team
Gross Margin & Profitability Analysis
Build and maintain gross margin reporting by product, channel, and customer segment — delivered monthly alongside the close package
Conduct customer contract profitability reviews on a defined cadence and flag unprofitable arrangements to the President with a clear recommendation
Provide financial analysis to support pricing strategy decisions as LionsBot USA evolves its product line, MSRP structure, and dealer channel model
Identify cost reduction and efficiency improvement opportunities across the business and support profitability-focused decision-making
Accounts Receivable, Collections & Customer Credit
Manage the full AR cycle — invoicing, collections follow-up, and aging review — with a target DSO aligned to company cash flow requirements
Review all new customers for creditworthiness before contract execution and recommend appropriate payment terms and credit limits
Escalate overdue accounts to the President with a clear status summary and recommended next action; maintain zero write-offs due to process failure
Ensure timely accounts receivable payments and maintain a clean, current AR ledger at all times
Accounts Payable & Cash Flow Management
Own the full AP cycle — vendor invoice processing, approvals, and payment runs — ensuring on-time disbursement, accurate GL coding, and compliance with vendor terms
Maintain a rolling weekly and monthly cash flow forecast for LionsBot USA, and proactively flag funding requirements or surplus cash positions to the Singapore HQ finance team well ahead of need
This role requires close, ongoing coordination with HQ Singapore — AP payment timing, cash positioning, and any funding requests must be planned and agreed jointly with Singapore treasury and finance leadership; this is not a function LionsBot USA can run in isolation
Coordinate all intercompany fund transfers, loans, and working capital support requests with Singapore HQ treasury, ensuring proper documentation, approvals, and timely execution
Align local vendor payment cycles and disbursement timing with global cash management priorities set by Singapore HQ, escalating any conflicts between local vendor demands and group liquidity constraints
Statutory Compliance & Tax Readiness
Maintain all U.S. statutory obligations on schedule — state business registrations, sales and use tax filings, payroll compliance, and annual returns — across all states where LionsBot USA has customer activity
Initiate and complete state registrations as LionsBot USA gains new customer locations in new states
Prepare and submit all tax data to our external CPA firm on schedule; manage the external CPA relationship and ensure zero late filings or penalties
Ensure all financial records are audit-ready at all times; comply with all financial policies, regulations, and GAAP requirements
Core Accounting Operations & Budget
Perform and manage all company accounting transactions — AP, AR, bank reconciliations, vendor and bank payments, and employee expense reimbursements
Maintain the ERP (NetSuite or equivalent) as the system of record; ensure the chart of accounts is structured to support meaningful reporting and intracompany reconciliation
Prepare budget forecasts and lead the annual budget process — coordinating inputs from all department heads and delivering a complete P&L, headcount model, and cash flow projection
Reinforce financial data confidentiality and data integrity across all financial systems and records
Intracompany & Singapore Coordination
Manage intracompany financial reporting, cross-charges, and warranty cost allocation in coordination with the LionsBot International finance team in Singapore
Ensure intracompany invoicing and reconciliation is clean, timely, and aligned with global reporting requirements
Support audit processes and ensure all intracompany financial relationships are documented and reconciled
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or an equivalent discipline
5+ years of professional accounting or finance experience, with at least 2 years as the most senior finance professional on site — independently owning the full close cycle
Hands-on experience with ERP systems such as Oracle NetSuite, QuickBooks, or a comparable platform
Excellent knowledge of U.S. GAAP, accounting regulations, and financial compliance requirements
Experience with U.S. multi-state statutory compliance — state registrations, sales and use tax, and payroll compliance
Advanced MS Excel skills — pivot tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, and financial modeling
Currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer
Successfully fulfill pre-employment onboarding requirements including background checks for criminal/civil and motor vehicle records
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
CPA or CMA certification strongly preferred
Experience working at a U.S. subsidiary of an international company — comfortable coordinating with a global parent finance team across time zones, particularly in Asia-Pacific
Professional background in distribution, manufacturing, capital equipment, robotics, or commercial cleaning — familiarity with product margin, warranty cost structures, dealer pricing, and channel economics
Experience building financial infrastructure from scratch rather than inheriting an established function
Experience with intracompany accounting, transfer pricing, and cross-charge methodologies
Additional certifications such as CFA, CIA, CMA, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, or equivalent
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
The right candidate will be hands-on, disciplined, and comfortable being the sole finance professional in a fast-moving organization. This person must be able to close the books accurately and on time every month while also delivering the financial insight the President needs to make decisions about hiring, pricing, channel strategy, and profitability.
They should be a builder — someone who is energized by creating processes, not just following them — and a clear communicator who can translate financial data into language that non-finance executives can act on.
High ownership and accountability — the books close on time, without exception
Proactive communicator — the President never learns about a financial issue through a missed report or a surprise
Builder mindset — creates processes, controls, and reporting cadences that work without constant oversight
Strong analytical thinking — goes beyond bookkeeping to deliver financial insight that supports business decisions
Collaborative partner — works effectively with department heads, the Singapore finance team, external CPA, and global leadership
Comfortable with ambiguity — can operate effectively in an environment where not everything is defined yet

Finance And Accounting Jobs in New Jersey: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a finance and accounting professional in New Jersey?
Most finance and accounting roles in New Jersey require at minimum a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, and CPA licensure is the standard credential for advancement. The New Jersey State Board of Accountancy oversees CPA licensing, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Exam, completing the required education hours, and fulfilling supervised work experience. Candidates targeting corporate or financial services roles in the state often begin with a Big Four or regional public accounting firm before moving in-house.
Which companies hire finance and accountings in New Jersey?
New Jersey finance and accounting roles are posted by Stevens Institute of Technology, EY, and Robert Half and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New Jersey's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in sectors like pharmaceuticals, insurance, and financial services means large in-house finance departments post openings throughout the year.
Which New Jersey cities have the most finance and accounting jobs?
Hoboken, Iselin, and Newark lead New Jersey in finance and accounting openings. Newark and Jersey City benefit from their proximity to New York City's financial district and host major insurance, banking, and professional services employers, while Princeton and the Route 1 corridor attract corporate finance talent through pharmaceutical and technology headquarters anchored there.

Yes, and more than most fields. About 58% of finance and accounting openings tied to New Jersey are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves analysis, reporting, and systems access rather than on-site tasks.

The most realistic entry path is a staff accountant or financial analyst associate role, which large New Jersey employers like Prudential Financial, Merck, and Cognizant post specifically for recent graduates. Many pharmaceutical and financial services firms in the state run structured rotational programs for new graduates in finance. An internship with a regional CPA firm, progress toward CPA licensure through the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy, or relevant coursework in financial modeling can give candidates a concrete edge over peers without work history.
