  • Provide occasional administrative support to the Finance Office, such as compiling reports and assisting with budgets or forecasts.
  • Maintain confidentiality of sensitive financial information at all times.

Qualifications

  • Strong understanding of accounting principles, AP/AR processes, and reconciliations.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and basic accounting systems (knowledge of hotel systems such as M3 and Opera is a plus).
