Project Accounts Clerk

Function

As a Projects Accounting Assistant, you will be responsible for the financial and administrative management of your projects.

Your responsibilities will include, amongst other things:

• the administrative set-up of new project files;
• processing and following up on the necessary financial and administrative documents;

• You are proficient in using MS Office, including Excel and Word.
