* Strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and lookups.
* A proactive, hands-on approach with excellent attention to detail.
* Confidence managing tight deadlines and multiple priorities.
* Experience liaising with external auditors.
* Knowledge of NetSuite (desirable but not essential).
* A continuous improvement mindset and strong communication skills.
You’ll be a team player who enjoys problem-solving, thrives under pressure, and takes pride in delivering accurate, timely financial reporting.
