About The Back Room
We exist to free our clients' time so they can focus on what they do best — growing their business. We deliver smart, efficient solutions that liberate teams from the everyday admin, and we hold ourselves to the same standard. Time is the ultimate currency, and we treat it like it.
The Role
As Treasury Associate, you'll own the day-to-day cash picture. You'll track balances across the group's bank accounts, process approved intercompany transfers, and keep short-term cash-flow forecasts accurate as collections and payments shift. Within your first 6–12 months, success looks like the Finance Manager trusting your cash position report without needing to double-check it, and potential shortfalls surfacing days in advance rather than on the day. This role suits someone who treats every account number and approval as worth verifying twice.

Why This Role
Most early-career finance roles only see cash from the reconciliation side, after it has already moved. This one puts you at the front of it: you'll see the whole group's cash position, work directly with the Finance Manager and banking partners, and help shape how the treasury function runs as its processes are improved and automated.
This role is open to Philippine citizens currently based in the Philippines.
