Assistant Manager, Accounting (Bangkok based, relocation provided)

The Opportunity
 You will own and shape accounting across multiple countries in a fast-moving, global OTA — not just running the books but rethinking how accounting creates strategic value. Partner closely with business leaders, tax authorities, auditors, external advisors, and Agoda’s group brands to deliver timely reporting and enable new product and market launches across multiple legal entities.

This role blends accounting leadership, projects, and internal consulting. You’ll lead cross-functional projects to improve balance-sheet reconciliations, streamline one‑off adjustments, and design scalable end‑to‑end processes that reduce cycle times and strengthen controls. You’ll also help craft a long‑term vision for the teams you influence and mentor colleagues to raise technical and process capabilities.

We encourage experimentation with AI and automation — from intelligent reconciliation to anomaly detection and predictive close timelines — turning novel ideas into production improvements that free the team for higher‑value analysis. If you’re motivated by systems transformation, measurable impact, and working in an agile environment with varied products and stakeholders, this role gives you the autonomy and scope to make it happen
