• Experience with vendor reconciliations, bank reconciliations and general ledger postings.
• Strong attention to detail, and integrity and discretion with confidential information.
• Experience with an accounting, accounts payable or payroll/HRIS system (NetSuite, Rippling, Expensify and Lightyear are highly regarded).
• Intermediate to advanced MS Excel skills.
• Ability to work independently and meet compliance and pay deadlines.
• A Certificate IV or Diploma in accounting or finance, or progression towards a degree in either.
