• Maintain organized accounts payable filing and documentation.

3. Payments Support

• Assist in preparing payment vouchers and payment requests for vendor and statutory payments.

• Support tracking of advance payments (Gate Pass/Tila, DO) disbursed, and help reconcile against actual usage.

• Assist with petty cash recording and replenishment.

4. General Support

• Maintain accurate and organized digital and physical filing across billing, AP, and payment documents.

• Support data entry into the Company's accounting software as needed.

• Basic understanding of the invoicing, accounts payable, and payment cycle.

• Familiarity with accounting software (e.g., Accurate, Excel, SAP, or similar) is an advantage.

• Detail-oriented, well organized, and able to manage multiple small tasks in a fast-paced environment.

• Willingness to learn and take on a variety of finance tasks across billing, AP, and payments.

• Written and spoken English.

• Brevet A / B is a plus, but not required at this level.
