Working across accounts payable, reconciliations, month-end and payroll support, you'll play a key part in keeping the finance function accurate, timely and well controlled. It's a hands‐on, newly created role with genuine scope to build your technical accounting experience. Your responsibilities include:

- Reconcile bank accounts daily, following up on discrepancies and flagging items that need attention
n
- Pull together month‐end journals and schedules covering accruals, prepayments, leave provisions and fixed asset movements

n
- Handle intercompany activity, including reconciliations, journal postings and the calculations that support them

To be considered for this role you will have 3 to 4 years' experience in a similar accounting position, ideally gained within a mid‐sized or multinational business. You will be degree qualified in accounting, finance or a related discipline, and either studying towards or planning to commence your CPA or CA. Strong Excel skills, a sound grasp of general ledger and month‐end processes, and a proactive, detail‐focused approach will see you succeed here. Exposure to a multi‐entity setting and confidence adopting new systems and tools to lift efficiency would be well regarded.
