Not your average finance support role..
If you're studying Finance, Accounting or Business and looking for a role where you can build practical commercial skills while completing your degree, read on.
This is a busy, hands-on role in a growing technology business where no two days are the same. You'll gain exposure across accounts, operations and general business administration, working closely with an experienced and supportive team and becoming a key part of how the business runs day to day.
The role involves a steep learning curve and multiple moving parts. You’ll need to learn quickly, stay organised and be comfortable managing a range of competing priorities. In return, you’ll develop real-world experience across invoicing, reconciliations, reporting and broader business support—skills that most students don’t typically encounter until later in their careers.
We’re looking for someone who is reliable, proactive and genuinely enjoys being busy. Someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly and professionally, and takes pride in getting things done accurately and on time.
This is a hands-on finance and business support role designed for candidates in the early stages of their professional journey who want to grow with the business over time and build broad, practical experience while completing their degree.
It is not a senior bookkeeping or qualified accounting position and would not suit applicants seeking a traditional accountant-level role.

About You
We're far more interested in your attitude, aptitude and willingness to learn than the length of your CV.

- Be studying Finance, Accounting, Business or a related discipline
- Have intermediate or above Microsoft Excel skills
- Learn new systems and processes quickly
- Be highly organised with excellent attention to detail
