Finance, Accounting & Tax Manager

About AGL Indonesia

AGL Indonesia (AGLI/ASI) is part of the AGL/MSC Group, operating across freight forwarding, container trucking, warehousing, and shipping agency activities, with operations centered around Patimban Port in West Java. As the Company scales, we are building a finance function capable of supporting a fast-moving, multi-entity logistics business.

Job Purpose

The Financial Supervisor is responsible for supervising the Company's day-to-day accounting, financial reporting, and tax compliance activities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance across all operating entities.

Given the nature of the business, prior experience in the logistics sector — freight forwarding, trucking, warehousing, or shipping agency — is expected from the outset. The role requires an understanding of industry-specific revenue and cost flows (freight billing, advance payments, port and trucking charges) from day one, rather than being learned on the job.

This role operates within a growing logistics platform spanning freight forwarding, trucking, warehousing, and shipping agency activities. The Financial Supervisor directly reviews and supervises the work of accounting and tax staff, ensuring transactions are recorded correctly and obligations are met on time, while escalating material issues to the Finance, Accounting & Tax Manager.

The position combines hands-on review of daily finance activities with responsibility for coaching and developing junior team members, and for helping strengthen the finance processes and controls that support the Company's growth.
