• Support internal documentation for payments, invoices, and vendor contracts.

• Liaise with banks and payment platforms.

Administrative & Compliance:

• Support filings and compliance requirements across different jurisdictions (UK, Cyprus, Greece).

• Maintain financial documentation (contracts, payment schedules, vendor files, SOPs).

• Assist with VAT documentation, reporting, and coordination with local accountants.

• Help maintain financial data consistency across our accounting systems.

Finance Support:

• Assist in preparing internal financial summaries for reporting needs.

• Track monthly burn rates and payment schedules.

• Support grant or investor reporting administration.

• Coordinate with external accountants and finance providers as needed.

We’re Ideally Looking For:

Must-Haves:

• 1–3 years of experience in bookkeeping, finance admin, or accounting support.

• Basic knowledge of UK and/or EU accounting principles and VAT.

• Experience working with payment systems and invoice processing.

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and financial documentation handling.

• Good written and verbal English communication skills.
