• Diploma or BA in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (required).
• Fresh graduate, or up to about 1 year of experience – this is deliberately a junior post. If you have more than 3 years of experience, please see our Accountant vacancy instead.

• Comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets; exposure to Peachtree or QuickBooks is a plus, not a requirement.
• Eager to learn – detail matters to us, so read the application form instructions carefully.
