About the Job:

We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Junior Finance & Accounting Specialist to join our growing remote team. This person will play a key role in managing our financial administration and day-to-day accounting processes as we scale our international operations.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Finance & Operations to ensure the accuracy and organization of payments, invoices, internal bookkeeping, and financial reporting. We are looking for someone who thrives in a structured but dynamic environment, is eager to learn, and can help us maintain clean financial processes across multiple entities.

Your Role:

• Process vendor invoices, employee reimbursements, and recurring payments.

• Assist in bank reconciliations, cash flow tracking, and basic month-end processes.

• Help monitor accounts payable/receivable and maintain up-to-date financial records.

• Ensure correct allocation of invoices and expenses across entities.

• Support internal documentation for payments, invoices, and vendor contracts.

• Liaise with banks and payment platforms.

Administrative & Compliance:

• Support filings and compliance requirements across different jurisdictions (UK, Cyprus, Greece).

• Assist with VAT documentation, reporting, and coordination with local accountants.

• Help maintain financial data consistency across our accounting systems.

Finance Support:

• Assist in preparing internal financial summaries for reporting needs.

• Track monthly burn rates and payment schedules.

• Support grant or investor reporting administration.

• Coordinate with external accountants and finance providers as needed.

We’re Ideally Looking For:

Must-Haves:

• 1–3 years of experience in bookkeeping, finance admin, or accounting support.

• Basic knowledge of UK and/or EU accounting principles and VAT.

• Experience working with payment systems and invoice processing.

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and financial documentation handling.

• Good written and verbal English communication skills.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience working with multi-entity or international financial structures.

• Familiarity with Xero or similar accounting platforms.

• IAT Certification or relevant bookkeeping/accounting qualification.

• Experience working in remote-first companies or fast-paced environments.

Potential Growth:

We’re also looking for someone with growth potential: once you master the role, we hope you’ll take increasing ownership, identify ways to improve and optimize our processes, and gradually grow into a more autonomous contributor within the finance team.
