About You
We're looking for someone with a strong financial operations background who enjoys working accurately, managing detail and taking ownership of their responsibilities.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- Previous experience in finance operations, treasury, reconciliations, bookkeeping or payment processing.
- Strong Excel and Xero skills.
- Excellent numeracy and a high level of accuracy.
- The ability to investigate discrepancies and resolve problems independently.
