  • Ensure every payment entry in the trackers has relevant support linked or attached, such as invoice, approval, POP, and WHT details.
  • Support timely petty cash processing upon approval and post petty cash transactions correctly.
  • Maintain a well-organized filing system (physical and soft copies) for invoices, approvals, POPs, and reconciliations to ensure audit readiness.
  • Ensure all transactions are compliant with internal approval matrices and escalate policy breaches as needed.

Qualifications

  • High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
  • Experience with QuickBooks or other ERP systems for invoice posting and reconciliation.
