- Utilise finance systems (e.g., QuickBooks) and Microsoft Office applications to produce precise financial reports.
- Provide financial information and support to internal teams and managers in a timely manner.
- Conduct credit control duties, ensuring outstanding payments are followed up appropriately.
- Assist the finance team with ad‑hoc tasks as requested by senior staff.
