- Reconcile bank statements, supplier accounts and other ledger accounts, flagging discrepancies for review.
- Assist in drafting financial reports and schedules used for internal review and reporting deadlines.
- Handle invoice processing, payment paperwork and systematic document filing.
- Enter financial data accurately and help maintain records that stay current and error-free.
- Take on additional finance-related duties as they arise during the internship.

- Communication: Clear written and verbal communication, plus the organisational skills to manage several tasks at once.
