  • 2+ years of progressive experience in a fast-paced environment.
  • Good foundation of accounting principles and financial reporting standards.
  • Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets; experience with ERP systems (Xero, Odoo a plus)
  • Understanding of AU, US and UK regulations and compliance is a bonus
  • Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team.
