• Perform basic accounts tasks including processing receipts, logging payments, and updating records.
• Support the preparation and issuing of invoices and day‑to‑day accounting activities.
• Assist with reconciling orders against invoices and raising purchase orders where required to help maintain organised and accurate accounts documentation.
• Support month‑end preparation by gathering documents, updating spreadsheets, and checking figures.

Marketing & Business Support

• Provide financial, customer, and order data to support marketing campaigns and reporting.

Skills & Experience Required

• 3+ years' experience in an operations or business support role, with some exposure to accounts or finance‑related tasks.
