Role Overview

• Entry-level finance position with significant responsibility and growth potential
• Not a traditional finance seat; expects proactive engagement beyond basic tasks
• Expense processing, vendor scrutiny, and bookkeeping are starting points, not the full scope

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Process expense reimbursements efficiently and accurately
• Scrutinise vendors, expenses, and processes to ensure company money is not wasted
• Bookkeeping is the minimum expectation; actively flag patterns and anomalies
• Conduct ad-hoc finance research and work closely with team members

• Low ego; open to handling any finance-related task as needed

• Comfortable with transparent, public-first communication (no private silos)
• Motivated to prove themselves, not just build a LinkedIn profile

Work Culture

• Fast-paced environment; quick decisions are valued over perfect answers
• Intensity remains high during both busy and quieter periods
• Expected to bring solutions alongside problems
• Internal competition is encouraged; strong performers raise standards
• This is a build seat, not a position for coasting

Behaviours That Lead to Quick Removal

• Politicking, dodging blame, or gossiping
• Treating direct feedback as a personal attack
• Adding unnecessary overhead instead of reducing it
• Slow follow-through after committing to deadlines
