  • Perform reconciliations of bank, credit card, and general ledger accounts.
  • Process invoices, receipts, payments, and adjustments.
• Accounts Payable & Receivable
  • Enter supplier invoices and prepare vendor payments.

  • Support audit preparation and documentation as needed.
• Client Interaction
  • Act as day-to-day contact for designated US-based clients.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally in English with clients and vendors.
  • Provide accurate, timely financial updates and support.

• Minimum of 2 years' solid accounting/bookkeeping experience.
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting.
• Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or similar) and Microsoft Excel.
• Experience preparing management accounts and handling reconciliations.
• Prior experience supporting international (especially US-based) clients is advantageous.
