As a Junior Accountant...

You will play a vital role in our finance department, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our daily financial operations. Working closely with the Senior Accountant, you will help maintain a seamless flow of data across our platforms, supporting the business as we scale and innovate in the education sector.

• Maintain the Ledger: Support Accounts Receivable and Payable reconciliations to ensure accuracy in our collections and payment workflows.

• Monitor Budgets: Oversee the administrative review of purchase orders and track spending against departmental budgets.

• Support the Close: Contribute to month-end and year-end closing activities by preparing journal entries and maintaining balance sheet schedules.
