  • Assistance with month-end and financial reporting tasks


What We're Looking For:

  • Strong experience in accounts payable, in senior capacity
  • Solid understanding of cashflow, balance sheet control and reconciliations
  • Confident working across multiple currencies and international bank accounts
  • Previous experience of working with ERP systems
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable working across global teams and with a diverse range of people.
