Our client is a global fashion brand with a strong presence in Japan and across the wider region. Known for its modern, design-led product offering, the business operates in a fast-paced, consumer-facing environment where commercial awareness, responsiveness and attention to detail are highly valued.
The culture is collaborative, international and hands-on, with finance playing a key role in supporting day-to-day business performance as well as broader regional decision-making. This interim assignment offers the opportunity to join a respected brand during a transition period, contributing directly to business continuity and working closely with stakeholders across functions. The role is based in Tokyo on a hybrid basis, within a small, focused team environment.
The Finance & Accounting Manager will support the business through an interim period, ensuring continuity across core accounting and finance activities. Working closely with regional leadership and internal stakeholders, the role will oversee day-to-day accounting operations, assist with month-end close, and help maintain robust financial processes.

Key responsibilities will include coordinating accounting workflows, managing deadlines, resolving operational issues, and ensuring accurate reporting and smooth communication across the business. The role requires a practical, collaborative finance professional who can balance hands-on execution with stakeholder coordination.
