Job Description
In this critical role, you'll own the full sales ledger process, from generating invoices to collecting payments and everything in between. You'll reconcile accounts, support monthly financial reporting, and run payroll like a boss. Strong Excel abilities will help you analyse data and provide insights to management.
We're looking for someone who geeks out on bookkeeping minutiae but also has the communication chops to respond to queries and influence stakeholders. You'll need to adeptly manage multiple priorities and deadlines while maintaining meticulous accuracy.
While the responsibilities are significant, you'll be supported by our collaborative and Yes We Can-Do culture. Our team has fun while driving meaningful impact in education recruitment. There are plenty of growth opportunities for finance pros who want to learn and expand their skills.
Ideal Candidate
If you have at least 6 months of relevant experience, an analytical mindset, and the drive to excel in a rapid-growth environment, we want to hear from you! Let's talk about how your expertise can help our finance function reach new heights.
