Full job description

As a Finance Associate, you will take ownership of key month-end close activities and financial processes, act as a finance business partner to internal stakeholders, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our financial operations. This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Month-End Close & Reporting

  • Own and execute assigned month-end close workstreams end-to-end, ensuring accuracy and adherence to the close calendar.
  • Prepare and post journal entries (accruals, prepayments, depreciation, payroll, corrections) with full supporting documentation.
  • Perform balance sheet reconciliations, resolving and escalating reconciling items in a timely manner.
  • Assist in the preparation of monthly management accounts and financial statements. Financial Processes & Controls
  • Take ownership of defined financial processes (e.g., accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, intercompany), ensuring they run efficiently and accurately.
  • Reconcile subledgers to the general ledger and resolve discrepancies promptly.
  • Process and review invoices, payments, and expense claims in accordance with company policies.
  • Monitor and follow up on outstanding items such as aged debtors, unapplied cash, or open POs.
  • Support internal and external audits by preparing workpapers, samples, and supporting schedules.
  • Maintain and improve process documentation, SOPs, and control checklists.
  • Support end-to-end payroll processing, including reviewing payroll inputs, liaising with the payroll provider, posting payroll journal entries, and reconciling payroll-related balance sheet accounts. Business Partnering & Stakeholder Support
  • Serve as a point of contact for finance-related queries from internal teams, providing accurate and timely responses.
  • Support the preparation of ad-hoc financial analyses, models, and reporting packages for senior stakeholders.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, commercial, and tech teams on finance processes and system improvements. Systems & Process Improvement
  • Use ERP and finance systems (e.g., NetSuite, Exact Online, or similar) to extract data, post entries, and maintain ledger accuracy.
  • Identify opportunities to automate or streamline recurring tasks, reducing manual effort and error risk.
  • Participate in system implementation and migration projects as a finance representative.
  • 2–4 years of relevant experience in accounting, finance, or a similar role.
  • Exceptional attention to detail — you spot errors before they become problems.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities and tight deadlines.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured, methodical approach.
  • Good understanding of double-entry bookkeeping, accruals, and core accounting principles.
  • Proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets; experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Exact, or similar) is a plus.
  • Clear and confident communicator — able to explain financial concepts to non-finance colleagues.
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and follows through without needing close supervision.
  • Collaborative team player with a continuous improvement mindset.
