About Agoda

At Agoda, we bridge the world through travel. Our story began in 2005, when two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs, driven by their passion for travel, launched Agoda to make it easier for everyone to explore the world.  

 

Today, we are part of Booking Holdings [NASDAQ: BKNG], with a diverse team of over 7,000 people from 90 countries, working together in offices around the globe. Every day, we connect people to destinations and experiences, with our great deals across our millions of hotels and holiday properties, flights, and experiences worldwide.

 

No two days are the same at Agoda. Data and technology are at the heart of our culture, fueling our curiosity and innovation. If you’re ready to begin your best journey and help build travel for the world, join us.

The Opportunity 

Agoda Finance doesn't sit on the sidelines. We sit at the table where decisions get made — and we make sure those decisions are backed by the sharpest financial thinking in the room.

We're looking for someone who sees a set of financials and immediately asks "what does this tell us, and what should we do about it?" Someone who can walk into a room of senior stakeholders, command their attention, and translate complex financial realities into clear, compelling narratives that drive action.

If you've spent your career building something — better processes, stronger controls, smarter reporting — and you're ready to do it at scale, across borders, and at one of Asia's most dynamic tech companies, this is your seat.

In This Role, You'll Get To 

International Financial Reporting

  • Lead financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions — owning the numbers, the narrative, and the decisions that follow.
    Be the go-to voice for financial performance analysis that shapes how Agoda's leadership thinks about the business.
    Partner directly with Booking Holdings and affiliated global brands on cross-entity financial matters.

Build What Doesn't Exist Yet

  • Take the lead on high-impact finance projects — new payment methods, new product launches, new market entries.
  • Design the data flows, workflows, and control frameworks that will underpin Agoda's next chapter.
  • Drive UAT, post-go-live monitoring, and continuous improvement — from concept to execution.

Controls & Compliance That Actually Work

  • Own the internal control environment across jurisdictions — SOX, Anti-Corruption, Corporate Policy — not as a checkbox exercise, but as a genuine competitive advantage.
  • Oversee reconciliations across all significant balance sheet accounts and ensure exceptions are surfaced, understood, and resolved.
  • Translate accounting policy into practical, operational guidance that teams can actually use.

Tax Intelligence

  • Navigate corporate income tax, withholding tax, and indirect tax obligations across the countries where Agoda operates.
  • Equip the Tax team with the precise, timely information they need to stay compliant and ahead of risk.

Lead, Develop, Elevate

  • Build a team that's better because of you — through coaching, mentorship, and setting a standard of excellence.
  • Create an environment where smart people are challenged, supported, and growing.

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • 15+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, including meaningful time at management level.
  • A track record of owning financial reporting end-to-end — not just producing it, but improving it.
  • Deep fluency in local GAAP and/or US GAAP, internal controls, and multi-jurisdictional compliance.
  • The ability to lead through complexity — across teams, time zones, and competing priorities.
  • Exceptional communication skills — you can present to a CFO and coach a junior analyst in the same afternoon.
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort working in a data-rich environment.
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting or Finance.

It's Great If You Have 

  • Professional accounting qualification such as CPA, ACCA, CA, CMA or equivalent
  • SQL and data analysis skills — because the best finance leaders don't wait for the data team to answer their questions.
  • Experience working in or with high-growth tech companies or complex multinational structures.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
