Reconcile payments and receipts across the ledgers

Use HubSpot and WooCommerce to check orders, cross‑reference data, and resolve billing queries

Maintain accurate financial records and support general admin tasks

What We’re Looking For

Excellent attention to detail and a love of getting things right

Self‑sufficient and confident managing your own workload once trained

Comfortable using Excel and online accounting systems like Xero

Clear, professional communicator – written and verbal

Reliable, organised, and enjoys routine, process‑based work

Previous experience in finance, admin, or accounts is helpful but not essential – full training provided

Bonus Points

Experience with Xero, HubSpot, WooCommerce, or invoice portals (e.g. SAP Ariba, Coupa)

Basic knowledge of credit control or bookkeeping
