Who We Are

Welfare Group is a global, multi-entity investment holding company operating across real estate, private wealth, and investment platforms. Our portfolio includes Prop.com, a property-focused investment and transaction platform, and WELF, our private wealth and investment structuring arm. As the group continues to scale internationally, financial discipline, transparency, and strong internal controls are central to sustaining long-term growth. We are currently transitioning from outsourced accounting to a fully internalised finance function, strengthening ownership, accuracy, and real-time financial visibility across all entities and jurisdictions.This role sits at the core of that transformation.

The Mission

Internalise and fully own the group’s accounting operations. Ensure clean, accurate, and timely financial records across all entities while supporting audits, compliance, and management reporting. Reduce dependency on external accountants by building strong internal processes, controls, and documentation. Enable leadership to make confident, data-driven decisions based on reliable and audit-ready financial information. This is a hands-on, ownership-driven financial accounting role.
