• Prepare and present insightful month-end commentary to the Finance Manager and wider team.

• Maintain balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring any differences are fully explained and resolved.

• Support the Finance Manager with ad-hoc analysis, reporting, and strategic project work.

Month-End Close & Cost Management

• Prepare expense accrual and prepayment journals at month-end.

• Contribute to the maintenance of the Group’s fixed asset registers.

• Support the Accounts Payable team with timely invoice processing and accurate cost coding.

• Review pending/disputed bills and new purchase requests to determine and post adequate accruals.

• Ensure strict compliance with internal controls, accounting policies, and high-quality documentation standards.

Technology & Process Improvement

• Identify opportunities to streamline accounting workflows and enhance reporting efficiency.

• Support the adoption and integration of new finance tools and ERP systems into daily workflows.

What you’ll bring.

• Experience: A solid background in finance, ideally gained in a similar management accounting or assistant accountant role.

• Technical Accounting: A robust understanding of accruals, prepayments, and the rhythm of a month-end close.

• International Exposure: Prior experience with multi-entity accounting and international operations is highly desirable.

• Systems & Excel: Strong Microsoft Excel skills are a must; familiarity with ERP systems (such as NetSuite) and automation tools is a plus.

• Mindset: An analytical thinker who is comfortable turning raw data into actionable business insights.

• Communication: Excellent communication skills with the confidence to partner with global teams.

• Adaptability: A proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment.
