Get to Know the Team
Join Regional Business Finance — team shaping how Grab accounts for what's next. We are the subject matter expert on the accounting treatment of Grab's business activities, standardizing how new initiatives and product launches are accounted for (particularly on revenue recognition), so our numbers stay accurate and audit-ready as the business innovates. We are also a trusted advisor to stakeholders across the region, turning complex accounting concepts into clear, well-informed business decisions.
Get to Know the Role
You will report to the Regional Business Finance Manager for Grab's Mobility business segment, you will combine technical accounting expertise with solid business partnering to keep our fast-growing segment audit-ready as it scales. You will operate independently, helping build the scalable regional frameworks the Mobility business runs on — equally at ease debating IFRS positions with auditors and translating them into plain-language guidance for product and commercial teams.
You will be base at our Malaysia office in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
The Critical Tasks You Will Perform
Partner early with product, operations, and commercial teams on upcoming projects — surfacing accounting implications before launch and advising on operational processes so downstream reporting stays clean and auditable.
Determine and lead the accounting treatment for new Mobility product offerings and business plans in accordance with IFRS, resolving ambiguous positions together with technical accounting teams.
Oversee the regional accounting framework for Mobility products across SEA — driving application consistency across business departments and countries, and correcting deviations in partnership with local controllers and FP&As.
Identify and fix historical misalignments in revenue or cost accounting in a controlled, auditable manner, and maintain written accounting positions to support audit readiness.
Oversee the finance reporting process for the Mobility business end-to-end, aligning with process, data, and systems owners on design and governance while execution is delegated to country finance or SSC teams.
Act as the regional point of contact for group-level financial audit and SOX for the Mobility portfolio — fielding auditor queries, guiding country teams through local audits, and flagging control risks from business changes ahead of audit scoping.
Skills you need
What Essential Skills You Will Need
Technical Accounting and Controls – 4–6 years of experience in controllership, technical accounting, or audit, with solid expertise in IFRS and internal controls.
Regional and Industry Expertise – Experience supporting multi-country operations and diverse business models, with exposure to digital platform and marketplace being advantageous.
Stakeholder Management and Influence – A good collaborator who can simplify complex accounting matters, influence cross-functional team partners, and lead alignment without direct authority.
Commercial Judgment and Execution – Able to solve work issues with structure, who balances accounting stringency with business practicality, exercises proper judgment in uncertain situations, and independently manages different priorities and workstreams.

Gurpreet Kaur Senior Manager, Technology Sourcing
Joining Grab nearly seven years ago was a leap into the start-up world for me. Working here provided more than just a challenge; it allowed me to dive into hands-on and operational tasks, broadening my scope from tax advisory to M&A and corporate finance. What makes Grab special for me is not just the professional growth but the lasting friendships formed.
Pauline Leow Regional Head of Finance Projects & Chief Financial Officer
I'm part of the SOX Compliance team working under the CFO office here at Grab. The dynamic nature of Grab's evolving business keeps me on my toes, posing new challenges every day. But, these challenges allowed me to grow into a senior role, and each day, I continue to learn and shape my career. The main thing that stands out to me about Grab is the diverse and friendly team. Even though we mostly collaborate online, everyone is driven to work as a close-knit team. We share office days and have offsites that are filled with activities to strengthen our bond!
