Amanda Yap
Divisional Manager, Finance & Accounting
My Background
I'm a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). My career started off in Audit with one of the Big Four accounting firms before I ventured into the investment banking industry for 4 years. As much as the role presented me with valuable experiences and life lessons, I knew it was not something I would like to do in the long run, and that's when the job scope of a recruitment consultant caught my eye one day. By taking a leap of faith, I decided to try something completely new and unconventional for an accountant and I've never looked back since.
I started my recruitment career in 2017 with one of the largest specialist recruitment agencies globally. With my penchant for meeting new people coupled with my background in finance and accounting, I had the opportunity to share my expertise with corporate clients and candidates alike; understanding their business needs and matching them with candidates’ career aspirations. I believe this resonates with our passion in building better futures, not just for our clients and candidates, but for the wider community.
Roles I Recruit For
I specialise in recruiting mid to senior-level finance professionals within commerce and industry in Malaysia, with a focus on roles from Senior Manager to C-Suite. My team covers key Finance & Accounting functions, including general finance, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), commercial finance, revenue management, tax, treasury, audit and compliance, partnering with multinational corporations, local conglomerates, and SMEs across various industries.
As part of this journey, I’m always eager to connect with professionals who are passionate about growth and excellence. To me, recruitment is not just about filling roles - it's about building lasting partnerships with great people who appreciates the value we create throughout this whole process.
Outside of Ambition
I live to eat and I enjoy a good cup of coffee. I also love travelling; to be able to experience new cultures, try new cuisines, and explore new adventures.
