Accountant | Full set

Little Paddington Preschool’s vision is to provide a world-class holistic learning space, where children discover their love for learning.

The Finance team is the backbone of our organisation. They ensure invoices are collected, bills are paid, and transactions are translated into financial reports that drive day-to-day decisions. Meaningful and actionable reporting starts with fast and accurate book-keeping. Without our Accounting function, we would not be able to deliver actionable insights to the management team.
