About the Role / About the Job
We are actively looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Senior Accountant to join our finance team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience handling high-volume transactions, strong analytical skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
This role involves owning day-to-day accounting operations, ensuring accurate financial record-keeping, and supporting month-end and year-end closing activities. Please note: this is a hands-on role with a significant amount of manual accounting work. A large part of the day-to-day involves manual data entry, manual journal entries, and maintaining accounts and reconciliations in Excel alongside the accounting system. Candidates should be comfortable and genuinely willing to do detailed, manual, transaction-level work, not only review or supervise it.
