Background

About Astrid Erawan

I began my career in 2012 as a Junior Auditor at Kreston Indonesia. Preparing audit worksheets for cash, inventory, fixed assets, taxes, and other accounts gave me a hands-on education in how different businesses operate; I worked on assignments ranging from building management, national airlines, restaurants, manufacturers and oil distributors. Later that year I moved into corporate finance at PT Adaro Indonesia as an Accounts Payable staff, where I learned the rhythms of a large enterprise by verifying supplier invoices, preparing payment vouchers and reconciling cost of goods sold and intercompany transactions. In 2013 I sought broader challenges and joined PT RINA Indonesia as an Accounting Officer. I handled the full financial cycle, balanced bank and petty cash accounts. I also assisted with back-office tasks like drafting client contracts and scheduling surveyors, insurance, which sharpened my multitasking and client-facing skills. In 2014 I stepped into a diplomatic setting as Executive Personal Assistant to the Indonesian Ambassador in Canada. For four years I managed his calendar, travel and correspondence, produced monthly financial and administrative reports and oversaw residence logistics—experience that taught me discretion, commitment, protocol and adaptability. By early 2019 I was ready to return to finance. I joined Eastspring Investments Indonesia as a Finance Executive, supporting the Finance Manager with daily operations, maintaining ledgers, managing bank transactions, preparing financial and MKBD reports and calculating taxes, while overseeing office administration. That September I began my tenure at Elitery, initially as Accounting & Finance Manager. I oversee daily finances, lead quarterly budgeting, review ledgers, track transactions and prepare monthly financial and board reports. I maintain relationships with banks, clients and vendors and provide strategic financial recommendations. With a degree in accounting and a master’s in financial management, I quickly progressed to head the Strategic Management Office, where I helped guide the company through its IPO. I now serve as Elitery’s Corporate Secretary, playing a strategic role in integrating operations with governance, corporate communications and investor relations to keep the company moving forward.
