Finance Manager

About hi.com

hi.com is a fast-paced company operating with a flat hierarchy where individual contributors have a high degree of autonomy and direct access to leadership.

The role

This Finance Manager owns the entire finance function end to end — from core reporting to process design — for a small, growing team being built from scratch. You will also design and deploy internal AI tools to drive operational efficiency across the department. Reporting directly to the CEO, you establish the rhythms and infrastructure that keep the business financially sound.

What you'll do

• Own all core finance functions: financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and month-end close
• Establish and maintain a regular reporting cadence directly with the CEO
• Design, build, and ship internal AI tools that automate or streamline finance operations
• Define processes and controls for a finance team of 2–3 people, many of which do not yet exist
• Manage and develop junior finance team members as the function scales
• Identify gaps in current workflows and lead the operational improvements to close them
• Maintain compliance with relevant accounting standards and statutory requirements in Hong Kong
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, tax advisers, and banking relationships

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of finance experience, including time in a leadership or senior individual-contributor role with ownership of a full finance function
• Demonstrated experience building or deploying AI tools in a finance or operational context — using Python, no-code AI platforms, or equivalent
• Comfortable operating in environments where processes are still being defined and priorities shift quickly
• Proven ability to own financial reporting end to end without heavy oversight
• Strong working knowledge of Hong Kong statutory and tax requirements

Nice to have

• Proficiency in Mandarin or Cantonese
