Good written communication skills for handling queries remotely

Remote working expectations

Able to work independently and reliably without constant supervision

Comfortable communicating via email, google meets, and task management tools

Able to ask questions appropriately and flag issues in a timely manner

What this role is (and isn’t)

Fully remote and online

Transactional and operational

Why join us:

Fully remote role with clear expectations

Supportive and structured finance team

Opportunity to develop strong foundational finance skills

Long-term role with increasing ownership over time

  • Accounts Assistant: 1 to 2 years
