    Description
    Reimagine access. Reimagine ownership. Build the future with Cinch.

    About Cinch

    We are building Asia's largest Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform. We believe access to technology should be flexible, affordable, and sustainable. By decoupling "usage" from "ownership," we are creating a circular economy where tech is utilized, recovered, refurbished, and recirculated—eliminating e-waste while unlocking value for consumers and businesses.

    We are a high-velocity Series A startup moving from "product-market fit" to "scale." We are not just a software company; we move atoms. We are looking for an operational architect to build the backbone of our business.

    The Mission

    Cinch is building Asia's largest Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform. We are looking for a CFO to serve as the Strategic Architect of our Capital Engine.

    In a DaaS model, finance is the product. You will actively manage the "Physical-Digital Matrix"—balancing high-velocity revenue growth with rigorous capital efficiency. You will secure the debt and equity required to scale, optimize our regional tax structure, and safeguard unit economics.

    Strategic Role: The "Capital & Governance" Anchor

    You will unify the Finance Operations Chapter (Accounting, Reporting, Treasury) and the Corporate Finance Chapter (Fundraising, FP&A, Tax & Structuring). You are the primary arbiter in the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, ensuring we never buy inventory we cannot fund or fund growth that destroys value.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Capital Markets & Debt Strategy
    • Asset-Backed Financing (ABF) Architecture: Lead the structuring and negotiation of multi-market debt facilities (Warehouse lines, Venture Debt). Ensure sufficient "dry powder" to fund asset purchases in SG, MY, and future markets.
    • Cost of Funds Optimization: Manage the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to ensure a healthy spread against our lease yield.
    • Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary interface for lenders and equity investors. Manage the "Financial Story" to ensure it matches operational reality.
    • Equity Fundraising: Partner with the CEO to lead Series A/B fundraising. Own the financial narrative, data room, and investor due diligence process.
    • M&A Strategy: Evaluate inorganic growth opportunities (e.g., acquiring smaller leasing books or logistics partners) to accelerate regional expansion.
    • Corporate Structuring, Tax & Transfer Pricing (NEW)
    • Regional Tax Efficiency: Architect the group's tax strategy for regional expansion (SG, MY, TH, VN). Minimize leakage regarding Withholding Tax (WHT), VAT/GST recovery on asset imports, and corporate income tax.
    • Transfer Pricing (TP) Strategy: Design and maintain a robust TP policy for intercompany loans, management fees, and cross-border asset leasing to ensure compliance with IRAS and local tax authorities while optimizing group liquidity.
    • Entity Structuring: Lead the legal and financial structuring for market entry, determining whether to set up local OpCos vs. SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles) for asset holding to ring-fence liability and satisfy lender requirements.
    • Treasury, FX & Asset-Liability Management (ENHANCED)
    • FX Risk Management: Implement hedging strategies to protect Net Interest Margins (NIM) as we deploy capital in local currencies (MYR, THB) while servicing potential USD/SGD debt.
    • Cash Pooling & Liquidity: Optimize the Cash Conversion Cycle by managing vendor terms (Payables) against subscription inflows (Receivables) and effectively moving cash between regional entities.
    • ALM (Asset-Liability Management): Match the duration of our debt facilities with the average lease tenor of our device portfolio to prevent liquidity crunches.
    • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) & Unit Economics
    • Strategic S&OP Leadership: Co-lead the monthly "Lock" with the Head of Operations. You hold the "Open-to-Buy" budget—approving inventory spend only when demand forecasts and capital availability align.
    • Pricing Strategy Oversight: Partner with Product and Risk to define pricing models. Ensure pricing covers Cost of Capital, Depreciation, Bad
    • Debt, and Tax Leakage to maintain target ROA.
    • Residual Value Analysis: Work with Risk/Data teams to forecast device residual values, ensuring depreciation rates in the P&L reflect true market resale values.
    • Governance, Compliance & Control
    • Covenant Engine: Responsible for real-time monitoring of PAR90, Debt-to-Equity ratios, and liquidity thresholds to prevent technical default.
    • Lease Accounting Standards: Ensure compliance with IFRS/SFRS (specifically lease accounting standards), ensuring accurate revenue recognition between "Hardware Revenue" vs. "Services Revenue."
    • Audit & Control: Manage the Finance Director to ensure flawless execution of month-end close and audit readiness.
    • Regulatory Compliance: Oversee regulatory reporting and tax compliance across all jurisdictions, ensuring we meet local fintech and leasing licensing requirements.

    Who You Are
    • 12+ years of progressive finance experience, including time as a CFO, Deputy CFO, or Head of Finance in a high-growth or capital-intensive business
    • Strong experience in asset-backed or balance-sheet heavy models (e.g. leasing, fintech, hardware, infrastructure, logistics, or subscription businesses)
    • Proven track record raising institutional equity (Series A/B+) and structuring debt facilities such as venture debt, warehouse lines, or ABF
    • Experience managing group-level finance across multiple entities and markets
    • Deep understanding of unit economics, capital allocation, WACC, NIM, and ROA
    • Hands-on experience with regional tax structuring, transfer pricing, and entity setup (Singapore and Southeast Asia preferred)
    • Solid grounding in treasury, FX risk management, and asset-liability matching
    • Working knowledge of IFRS / SFRS, particularly lease accounting and revenue recognition
    • Comfortable acting as a strategic partner to the CEO while remaining hands-on in execution
    • Strong communicator with investors, lenders, auditors, and regulators, able to articulate a clear and credible financial narrative
