  • Validate data accuracy across systems and flag inconsistencies proactively.
  • Ensure audit trails are complete and easy to reference.

5. Communication & Collaboration

  • Communicate with suppliers regarding invoices, payments, and statement reconciliations.
  • Support ad-hoc financial requests from management.

6. Administrative & Ad-Hoc Tasks

  • Experience using accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks, Sage) is highly desirable.
