  • Reconciliation of subledger and GL positions;
  • Performing GL account specifications;
  • Analysis of cost and margin variances;
  • Performing bank reconciliations;
  • Performing other ad-hoc requests (e.g. responsible for deliverables relating to an internal project).

Who you are:

  • 1-2 years’ experience working in Accounts Payable & Receivable;
  • Excellent knowledge and use of English (written and spoken);
  • Experience in international VAT treatment is a plus;
