About the role

China and Hong Kong operations lead role owning day-to-day finance and accounting end-to-end for China and Hong Kong entities, including AP, GL, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, intercompany, statutory compliance, audit support, and global close coordination.

Responsibilities

  • Accounts payable — process and pay supplier and vendor invoices for both the China and Hong Kong entities (including fapiao-compliant documentation for China), maintain a clean AP aging schedule, and ensure payments go out on agreed terms.
  • Employee reimbursements — review, approve and process employee expense reimbursements for both entities, in line with company policy and local regulations.
  • Books and records — maintain the general ledger for both the China and Hong Kong entities, post journal entries, and ensure the local books reconcile to the group ERP (NetSuite) each month.
  • Prepaid expenses — track and amortize prepaid items (insurance, licenses, rent and other prepaid costs) for both entities.
  • Fixed assets — maintain the fixed asset register, depreciation schedules, and additions/disposals for both entities.
  • Intercompany support — process and reconcile intercompany invoices and payments between the China and Hong Kong entities, Quince US, and other group entities.
  • Local statutory bookkeeping and compliance — maintain books under PRC GAAP (Chinese Accounting Standards) for China and HKFRS for Hong Kong, alongside the US GAAP-based group reporting; support VAT, fapiao, and corporate income tax filings in China, and Profits Tax, MPF and Companies Registry filings in Hong Kong, in coordination with local tax consultants.
  • Audit support — prepare PBC items and respond to auditor queries for the local statutory audits (China and Hong Kong) and the group audit (Deloitte US and local firms), maintaining audit-ready documentation year-round.
  • Global close partnership — deliver an accurate, on-time trial balance and supporting schedules each month to Quince’s India and US accounting teams for consolidation.
  • Local liaison — day-to-day contact with local banks and regulators — tax bureau in China and Inland Revenue Department / Companies Registry in Hong Kong — for banking, payments and compliance matters.
  • Cash flow visibility — flag funding needs across both entities to the global finance team with enough lead time to arrange intercompany funding.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of accounting experience, including hands-on ownership of AP, general ledger and bookkeeping for a China-based legal entity; Hong Kong entity exposure a strong plus.
  • An intermediate-level accounting qualification such as the Zhongji (中级) Accounting Title or ACCA is preferred; CPA China (CICPA) or HKICPA membership is a plus but not required for this hands-on role.
  • Working knowledge of PRC GAAP (Chinese Accounting Standards) and local statutory/tax compliance — VAT, fapiao management, and corporate income tax. Working knowledge of Hong Kong statutory/tax requirements (HKFRS, Profits Tax, MPF, Companies Registry filings) is a plus.
  • Experience with NetSuite or a similar ERP preferred.
  • Comfort working cross-border with a global finance function, including intercompany accounting and day-to-day coordination with counterparts in India and the US across time zones.
  • Fluent Mandarin and business-level English; Cantonese is a plus for Hong Kong coverage.
  • High attention to detail and comfort operating independently as the sole on-the-ground finance resource across both entities.
  • Experience in a trading, sourcing or procurement business is a strong plus.
  • Comfort working in a growing entity, where process and documentation maturity will be built as the business scales — not inherited off-the-shelf.
