Job Details

Take responsibility for getting a task completed from start to finish.

We value people who take ownership. If you see something that needs to be done, you should be comfortable taking the initiative rather than waiting to be told.

Computer & AI Skills – Essential

The successful candidate must be highly computer literate and comfortable learning and using new technology.

Experience with the following is highly desirable:

Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets
Google Drive and Google Workspace
Accounting and bookkeeping software
Online banking and financial platforms
Document management systems
ChatGPT
Claude
Other AI productivity and automation tools

You should understand how to use AI properly and responsibly as a productivity tool, rather than simply being familiar with the technology.

For example, you should be comfortable using AI to:

Analyse and organise information.
Assist with spreadsheet work.
Review and identify inconsistencies.
Draft professional emails and communications.
Summarise documents and information.
Research and compare information.
Create reports and trackers.
Improve repetitive administrative processes.
Generate ideas for automation and workflow improvements.

We expect the successful candidate to be curious about new technology and continuously learn how AI can make their work more efficient and accurate.

Communication Skills

Excellent communication skills are required.

You will regularly communicate with accountants, tax advisors, banks, suppliers, service providers and other stakeholders.

You should be able to:

Write clear and professional emails.
Follow up firmly but professionally.
Provide concise and accurate updates.
Clearly explain an issue when something requires attention.
Ask the right questions when information is missing.
Escalate important matters promptly rather than allowing them to remain unresolved.

Attention to Detail

Accuracy is extremely important in this position.

The successful candidate should naturally check their own work before submitting it and should be able to identify:

Missing information
Incorrect figures
Inconsistent data
Missing documentation
Unusual transactions
Incorrect dates or deadlines
Outstanding follow-ups

We are looking for someone who does not simply assume that information is correct because it has been provided by someone else. You should be comfortable checking, reconciling and questioning information when something does not appear right.

Independence & Working Style

This role requires someone who can work independently and does not need constant supervision or hand-holding.

You should be comfortable receiving an objective or task, understanding what needs to be achieved and then figuring out the steps required to complete it.

At the same time, independence does not mean working in isolation. The right person will know when to take initiative and when to ask for clarification or escalate an issue.

Key Qualities We Value

The following qualities are particularly important to us:

Ability to learn quickly and retain knowledge
Ability to apply previous learning independently
Strong organisational and administrative skills
Excellent attention to detail
Strong prioritisation and time-management skills
Proactive ownership and follow-through
Strong written and verbal communication
High level of computer literacy
Genuine interest and ability in using AI tools
Ability to work independently without constant supervision
Good judgement and practical problem-solving
Ability to recognise and learn from mistakes
Reliability and accountability
Confidentiality and professionalism
Willingness to continuously learn and improve

What Success Looks Like

Within the first few months, we expect the successful candidate to become familiar with the businesses, understand recurring processes and deadlines, and progressively require less supervision.

Over time, the goal is for the person to be able to anticipate requirements, identify outstanding matters, follow up proactively, maintain accurate records and bring issues to management’s attention before they become problems.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to become a trusted and integral member of the team, take ownership of their responsibilities and continuously develop their finance, administration and technology skills.

Ideal Candidate

You may be a qualified or part-qualified accountant, bookkeeper or finance professional with strong administrative and organisational abilities. Relevant experience in bookkeeping, VAT, Corporate Tax or working with multiple entities would be advantageous.

More important than having every technical skill from day one is having the right attitude, learning ability, attention to detail, initiative and willingness to use technology intelligently.

If you are someone who learns quickly, remembers what you learn, takes ownership, follows through, communicates well, embraces AI and technology, and enjoys finding better ways of doing things, we would like to hear from you.
