Period-end closing and reporting

• Support monthly and annual closing processes: contribute to preparing and posting journal entries, reconciliations, and reviewing account balances.

• Assist with the collection and compilation of data for financial reporting and audits.

Budgeting and project support

• Work alongside project managers to track and report on project costs and financial progress.

Audit and compliance assistance

• Confidence working with numbers and data in Microsoft Excel.

• English language skills sufficient for international communication (both written and spoken).

• Intent to begin, or current progress towards, an accounting qualification (such as ACCA, CIMA, or an equivalent).

• Experience with SAP or a similar finance system is an advantage, but not essential.

What we offer:

• Hands-on experience with international accounting, with a clear pathway toward more independent accounting roles.
