Next-Gen Accounting Intern

Our Mission

At Reapra, we're not your typical venture builder. We are in the business of building the next generation of entrepreneurs that influences long term social change in our society. Our 20-year vision is to create businesses that integrate business success, social contribution and long term well-being from Day 1. We're a group of awkward and introspective individuals experimenting a new way of business building by pushing the boundaries of the traditional approach towards managing a company's P&L.

The problem our team is trying to solve

Are you tired of the conventional path in accounting? Have you noticed that there is a gap of empathy between accounting members and the rest of the Company? Or wonder for hours why some of these accounting rules don’t seem to make sense? Despite all this tension you feel, you are driven by your curiosity towards creating a way to make it easily relatable to others. If yes, we're looking to work with you to redefine the future of bookkeeping and fair valuation audit for our portfolio of entrepreneurs.

Requirements

We would love to meet you if:

• There is something critical you would like to change in the realm of accounting. This means you would have some basic knowledge of accounting or have engaged with the bookkeeping process before.
• In order to challenge the norm, you strongly believe you have to first train yourself to do the basic and boring stuff well. 
• Value risk-taking and taking initiative to embrace new ways of thinking and doing.
• Are excited about the prospect of becoming a future entrepreneur.
• Are looking for something more than just acquiring skills sets. 
• Thrive in a remote work environment and can spend 3 months with us.
• Are fluent in English and preferably know one more language: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or Thai.

Your time with us could be part-time (min 4 hours a day) or full-time, matching Japan and Singapore time zones.
