The way you roll… You thrive in a fast-paced environment where your love of organization and detail shines. Numbers don’t scare you—they excite you—and your bookkeeping precision is matched only by your ability to keep an office humming with productivity. You’re the type who gets a real sense of satisfaction from reconciling accounts to the penny and knowing that your administrative systems are watertight.

You know what to do from the get-go, and you’re not only a confidence connoisseur, but a master job juggler (wow!) and always have your logic cap on to add to that stylish excellence of yours. You’re not afraid to say what you think, and you always do it with good intention, someone who loves simplicity you’re always on the lookout to remove un-necessary complication, address conflict and challenge something that you don’t feel works as well as it could. How you make it all possible… Manage and maintain the company’s day-to-day bookkeeping using QuickBooks. Process accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, expense reports, and monthly closing. Track project expenses and assist with budgeting and forecasting reports.

Act as the point of contact for internal teams and external stakeholders regarding administrative and financial queries. Support onboarding of new employees, maintain HR files, and assist with internal documentation processes. Participate in team meetings and contribute ideas for operational improvement and efficiency. This list is not exhaustive, and you will be expected to work flexibly and undertake other such duties as required within the role.

Excellent understanding of financial principles, reporting, and reconciliation. Solid skills in Microsoft Office Suite (especially Excel, Word, and Outlook).
