Team Leader — Client Engagement
You shift from owning your own clients individually to leading a small team that delivers client advisory work — responsible for your team's output and growth, not just your own.
About AKRUA
AKRUA Consulting is a finance and accounting consultancy for startups and growing businesses — effectively their outsourced finance team. We've grown from 3 people in 2018 to over 70 today, working out of our office in Kemang, South Jakarta, with clients across F&B, retail, and services. That growth is why we restructured into two client-facing divisions: Client Engagement, which owns the client relationship, and Delivery Excellence, which owns the quality of what we produce. Each has defined levels with written criteria for moving between them, so what the next step requires is stated rather than guessed at. We're also building out an internal automation function to take more of the repetitive data processing off the team.
The Role
As a Team Leader, you shift from owning your own clients individually to leading a small team that delivers client advisory work. You're responsible for your team's output and growth — coaching consultants, managing resourcing, and often building deep expertise in a specific client industry or niche so your team becomes the go-to for that kind of work. The emphasis shifts too: less on your own technical depth, more on teaching, project management, and resource management. As we scale, this is the leadership layer we're building out to develop the next generation of consultants.
What You'll Do
- Lead and coach a team of consultants, developing their technical and client-facing skills
- Own resourcing and project management across your team's client portfolio
- Ensure clients are properly serviced without over- or under-loading your team
- Build specialized expertise in a client industry or niche, deepening your team's positioning
- Take ownership of your team's overall client outcomes — revenue, retention, and satisfaction
- Support hiring, onboarding, and development of team members as the team grows
What We're Looking For
- 3–5+ years of relevant accounting/finance experience, including prior client- or stakeholder-facing work
- Prior experience leading, mentoring, or managing others — formally or informally
- Strong operational and organizational skills — comfortable owning a team's output, not just your own
- A background spanning both technical rigor (e.g. Big 4 or mid-tier audit/advisory) and operational or in-house experience is a strong plus
- Fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and English

Other Open Roles
Junior Associate — Delivery Excellence
The starting point in Delivery Excellence: you prepare the financial statements clients actually receive — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — and keep their books accurate month to month, with a Senior Associate and QC reviewing your work.
Senior Associate — Delivery Excellence
You're the quality backbone behind every client deliverable — reviewing financial and tax reports before they go out, catching what's inconsistent or wrong, and coaching junior associates so the same issues don't repeat.
Senior Consultant — Client Engagement
You're the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients — owning the relationship end-to-end, not just executing tasks. The deliverables are the standard financials; the real value is in what you do with them.
