*3-5+ years’ experience in finance, accounting, or a management accounting role
*Strong grounding in accounting fundamentals - comfortable reconciling ledgers, reviewing balance sheets and preparing management accounts
*Highly detail-oriented, with the discipline to manage high-volume transactional work accurately
*Confident working across multiple entities and reconciling complex accounts
*Strong Excel or Google Sheets capability, with hands-on experience using Xero in a multi-entity environment
*Comfortable in a fast-paced, scaling environment where processes are evolving
*High ownership mindset - you don’t just process numbers, you ensure they’re right
*Experience with regulated environments is a bonus but not essential
