Job description

About Bluebox

Founded in 1981, Bluebox is a premier professional services firm in Asia, headquartered in Singapore.

Our business units include Investment Banking, Management Consulting and Digital Transformation. We specialise in offering finance, compliance, tax, and legal services to fast-growing startups and SMEs across Asia.

Bluebox combines 40 years of professional excellence with a modern, technology-driven delivery model — built on structured systems, high ownership, and remote-first collaboration.

Position: Manager (Client or Business Portfolio)

Location: Full-Time Remote

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a qualified Chartered Accountant with strong leadership, delivery oversight, and management capabilities. As a Manager at Bluebox, will be responsible for end-to-end oversight of a defined portfolio which may include:

• Client Engagements (as an Engagement Manager), or
• Internal Business Functions (as a Business Manager for HQ).

In both cases, you'll lead a team of associates, coordinate cross-functional work, and ensure that deliverables — whether client work or internal business operations — are completed accurately, on time, and to Bluebox standards.

This is a full-time leadership role in a high-performance, remote-first environment. It's ideal for someone who is structured, proactive, and confident managing client service.

Key Responsibilities

Own delivery across your portfolio:

• Manage end-to-end execution across all assigned engagements or functions.
• Ensure all work is completed accurately, on time, and to Bluebox standards
• Track and drive progress across recurring, ad hoc, and deadline-based deliverables
• Coordinate with internal subject matter experts to ensure seamless cross-functional delivery
• Prevent slippage, unblock bottlenecks, and escalate early when needed

Lead a high-performance associate team

• Assign and allocate work across a team of Chartered Accountants and interns
• Review output, provide feedback, and coach for continuous improvement
• Monitor capacity and performance to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery

Be the primary point of accountability

For Engagement Managers:

• Act as the primary point of contact for clients.
• Maintain clear communication, manage expectations, and ensure client satisfaction.
• Maintain service clarity by staying on top of scopes, deadlines, and change requests

For Business Managers:

• Act as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders or leadership.
• Ensure assigned functions run smoothly and consistently.
• Build clarity and reliability into internal processes and reporting.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Chartered Accountant
• 5+ years post-qualification experience in finance/accounting
• Prior experience managing client relationships (preferred)
• Proven leadership and team management skills
• Strong judgment, problem-solving, and attention to detail
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Comfort working across multiple systems, functions, and time zones

What You'll Need to Succeed

• A proactive mindset: you take initiative without needing to be told
• Ownership of work: you follow through, escalate early, and don't let things slip
• The discipline to manage full-time responsibilities while working remotely
• A serious, professional approach — this is a structured role, not a freelance or flexible side gig
• Comfort in a high-accountability environment, with the stamina to manage extended work periods
• A collaborative, solutions-focused attitude under pressure

Why Join Us

• Work from anywhere: No need to relocate or commute. Build a full-time, serious career from home — with structure, support, and international exposure.
• Work with global clients: Support businesses across Singapore, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Be part of a fast-growing firm with over 40 years of experience.
• Build your skillset: Get hands-on experience with live client work across finance, tax, payroll, legal, HR, compliance, and more — before choosing your area of focus.
• Grow your career: Progress based on performance, not seniority. If you take ownership and deliver well, you'll grow quickly in the firm.

Important Details

• Job Type: Full-time, Permanent, Remote
• Salary: ₹6,60,000 per year (Net in-hand pay with no deductions).
• This is a full-time remote position requiring active collaboration throughout the day, not a freelance or job-work role. Think of it as a regular office job except that instead of commuting to a physical office, you'll log in to a virtual office.
