You’ll support and coordinate the day-to-day work of their Accounts Payable and Receivable functions, while assisting with treasury tasks and data clean-up activities. You won’t be managing the team formally but will act as a go-to person for queries, guidance, and continuity.

- Provide cover while the AR Coordinator focuses on database preparations
Treasury & Reconciliations
- Assist with daily cash flow and banking
- Prepare and review cash forecasts
- Monitor bank reconciliations
- Support month-end balance sheet reconciliations, including payroll (desirable)
Project & Data Work
- Support data clean-up and preparation activities ahead of year-end
- Assist in transitioning AR data to their new contracts and fees database
Skills and Qualifications
