Provide cover for payment processing during annual leave periods and peak workloads.
Financial Administration
Maintain accurate records within the organisation's job costing system and investigate any missing documentation.
Ensure invoices are processed for projects or units approaching completion.
Support Accounts Receivable and Treasury activities when required.
Liaise with external stakeholders to resolve finance-related queries.
Assist with ad hoc finance tasks and analysis as required by the wider team.
