- Use Excel/Google Sheets and ERP systems to record transactions, organize data and support reporting.
- Liaise with clients, suppliers and internal teams to resolve finance queries promptly.
- Flex across finance tasks as workload demands, including covering urgent requests during month-end, campaign peaks and event periods.
- Assist with ad-hoc finance tasks and presentations as required.

- Flexible and adaptable: comfortable switching between tasks and priorities, and willing to adjust working hours when business needs require (e.g. month-end or event deadlines).
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and integrity.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, including professional client follow-up.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks independently, meet deadlines and work as part of a team.
