Accountant

About the Position

We are looking for an Accountant to join our Asia team, supporting both our local and global accounting operations at Jane Street.

Your primary responsibility will be to contribute to the maintenance of a robust financial control for the firm. You’ll work alongside team members to maintain the company’s books and records and help with our month-end close process. This will include the preparation of various reconciliations and financial schedules as we prepare financial statements.

This role will provide a great introduction and exposure to the larger operations of the firm. The right person must be discreet, trustworthy, and comfortable working in a deadline-driven environment.

Getting the details right in accounting is an extremely important part of our business, and we take pride in our ability to stay on schedule without sacrificing accuracy. Each member of our team is highly organized, proactive, and able to prioritize tasks effectively.

The legal and regulatory environment in which we operate is constantly shifting. Your previous industry expertise will be valuable to the team as we collaborate with internal and external stakeholders on accounting policy decisions and applications of IFRS and other relevant GAAPs. A good understanding of the financial markets around the region will be critical to excel in this role.
