Lead small process and documentation improvement initiatives across the finance team.

Team Support & Process Ownership

Act as a first point of escalation for complex supplier, customer, or reconciliation queries.
Review the work of more junior Accounts Assistants for accuracy prior to posting or
payment.
Support the onboarding and on-the-job training of new finance team members.
Take ownership of month-end close tasks across AP and AR, including accruals and balance
sheet reconciliations, and deputise for the Accounting Manager as required.
