  • Assist in preparing financial reports and summaries for management.
  • Support budgeting, cash flow tracking, and financial forecasting activities.
  • Help implement and improve financial processes across multiple entities.
  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies in financial records.
  • Liaise with external accountants, auditors, and finance partners when required.

Systems & Operational Support:

  • Capture and manage financial data within systems such as Xero and Cin7.
  • Ensure accuracy between accounting systems and operational platforms.
  • Support the finance team with data analysis and reporting preparation.
  • Assist with ad hoc financial administration and operational support.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Diploma or Degree in Accounting, Finance, or similar.
  • 3–5 years’ experience in bookkeeping or accounting support.
  • Strong experience with Xero (essential).
  • Experience with Cin7 / Dear Inventory or similar inventory systems (highly advantageous).
  • Experience managing accounts across multiple entities or business units is advantageous.
  • Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills (reconciliations, formulas, data analysis).

Key Competencies:

  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of tasks.
  • Proactive and solutions-focused when identifying issues or inefficiencies.
  • Able to manage multiple priorities across different business entities.
  • Reliable, accountable, and consistent in execution.
  • Energetic and motivated in a fast-moving environment.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience in e-commerce, retail, or inventory-based businesses.
  • Exposure to Cin7 / Dear Inventory systems.
  • Experience supporting financial reporting across multiple entities.
  • Familiarity with payroll reconciliation processes or tools such as SimplePay
