• Close projects and run quality checks.
• Provide project level reporting to leads and the Head of Consulting.

Finance & Payroll:

• Manage payroll processes, data, and liaise with our Finance Manager and external accountants.
• Maintain Outsourcing reporting and work closely with our Head of Outsourcing.
• Investigate expense and invoice anomalies.
• Provide support to our Finance Manager across a range of reports and processes.

System Management & Support:

• Manage system users, adjust licenses, and provide 1‑to‑1 training.
• Manage configuration changes and technical issues with Scoro support.
• Track product updates and drive process improvements to reduce manual work.
• Build and maintain a positive partnership with Scoro to maximize system value.
• Project manage Scoro upgrades / system re-implementations where necessary.

Data & Process Improvement:

• Respond to data and support requests from Project Leads and our Finance Manager.
• Identify and implement automation or streamlining opportunities across our systems.

Qualifications:

• Confidence with numbers, data, and financial terminology.
• Experience with finance, revenue operations, or tools such as Scoro or Xero is an advantage.
• A keen eye for detail and accuracy.
• Clear, professional communication skills, comfortable working across time zones.
• Self-management skills: organize your own day, meet deadlines, and flag issues early.
• An interest in improving processes and using technology to simplify work.

Our Values & Benefits:

• Deliver independent, strategic advice free from agendas.
• Operate with full transparency.
• Foster a caring, respectful, and open environment.
• Work remotely with autonomy, with competitive pay, 25 days’ annual leave, pension, and supportive policies.
