• Work confidently with cloud accounting systems (Xero, Quick Books, Sage) and automation tools such as Hubdoc/Dext
• Maintain accurate records, timesheets and ensure work is delivered to deadline and expected quality

• AAT qualified, ACCA part‑qualified, or QBE

• Proficiency in Xero and Quick Books
• Strong Excel skills (formulas and functions)
