Our client is an established global consumer services group with a portfolio of recognised brands and operations across multiple international markets.

- Assisting with BAS preparation by compiling relevant information, reviewing transaction data and supporting the wider finance team
- Providing broader finance support across general ledger reconciliations, month-end activities and ad hoc accounting tasks as required
To be successful, you will bring strong accounts receivable experience together with exposure to assistant accounting duties. You will also have:
- Immediately Available and committed to the full six-month assignment
- Strong accounts receivable experience, particularly allocations and receipting
- Previous exposure to assistant accounting duties and account reconciliations
