Case study · Singapore services business

Two accountants and one financial controller, dedicated to one client.

A verified team structure for an anonymised medium-sized Singapore labour-hire and services business.

Evidence boundary: The owner verified the client country, broad sector and team structure: two accountants and one financial controller. The company is anonymised and no financial or operational outcome is claimed.

The structure

A medium-sized Singapore labour-hire and services business has a dedicated Jade-supported finance team of two accountants and one financial controller. All three are dedicated to the client rather than pooled across multiple businesses.

How responsibilities are divided

The diagram describes a role pattern, not undisclosed contract terms. The client remains responsible for business authority, system access and accountable decisions. Jade recruits and employs the Philippine team, manages payroll and benefits, and provides HR and agreed service support.

Why a controller layer can matter

Where several finance employees work together, a senior coordination layer can improve visibility of deadlines, review status and issues. The client and Jade must still document technical authority, approval limits and whether QA or process-improvement work is included in the engagement.
