• Produce Excel‑based reconciliations, reports, and analysis as required.
• Assist with month‑end processes, including accruals and outstanding payables reports.
• Manage ad hoc administrative tasks to support the finance department.
Skills and Attributes Required
• Excellent Communication: Fluent spoken and written English. Must be confident, clear, and professional.
• Attention to Detail: High accuracy in processing financial data, reviewing invoices, and resolving discrepancies.

• Ethical & Professional: Maintains confidentiality, integrity, and accuracy in all financial processes.
• Growth Mindset: Encouraged to think critically, solve problems, and continually improve processes.
