Role Overview:
As a Finance Operations Specialist, you will play a key role in keeping WeSki’s day-to-day financial operations running smoothly, accurately, and efficiently.
This is a hands-on operational role with a broad scope, covering supplier payments, customer payments, reconciliations, financial controls, and process management. You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance Operations while independently managing key processes and ensuring they are handled effectively from start to finish.
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable getting into the details, taking ownership of problems, and improving the way things are done. This isn’t a role for someone who simply follows existing processes. We want someone who is curious about how things work, challenges inefficient workflows, and looks for opportunities to use AI, automation, and technology to make our finance operations more efficient and scalable.
The role requires a solid understanding of financial processes, but above all, a strong operational mindset and the ability to independently drive tasks and processes from start to finish.
Responsibilities
- Independently manage day-to-day finance operations, including supplier payments, customer payments, reconciliations, and related financial processes.
- Review and validate supplier invoices, payment requests, and supporting documentation.
- Perform account and payment reconciliations, identify discrepancies, and follow issues through to resolution.
- Monitor financial activity and proactively identify missing, incorrect, duplicated, or unexpected transactions.
- Work closely with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve payment and financial issues quickly and effectively.
- Maintain accurate financial records and ensure transactions are properly documented and reflected across the relevant systems.
- Manage recurring finance processes from start to finish, ensuring they are completed accurately, on time, and in line with established controls and procedures.
- Support month-end and other periodic financial activities as needed.
- Investigate unexpected financial and operational issues, identify root causes, and drive practical solutions through to resolution.
- Identify inefficiencies, manual processes, and bottlenecks across Finance operations, and proactively improve the way we work.
- Lead or support the implementation of automation and AI-based solutions to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and increase efficiency.
- Help build, standardise, and document scalable finance processes as WeSki continues to grow.
- Support the wider Finance Operations function and take responsibility for ad hoc finance projects and initiatives as needed.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in finance operations, accounts payable/receivebale, accounting, or a similar role.
- Solid understanding of core financial processes, including invoices, payments, reconciliations, and basic accounting principles.
- Strong attention to detail and a consistently high level of accuracy.
- Proven ability to independently manage processes from start to finish.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies, identify root causes, and find practical solutions.
- Highly organised, with the ability to prioritise effectively and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
- Good Excel / Google Sheets skills and confidence working with financial data.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
- A hands-on, proactive approach and willingness to get into the details.
- Technologically curious and comfortable using AI and automation tools, with an interest in finding smarter and more efficient ways to work.
- Ability to adapt quickly to changing processes, priorities, and business needs.
Advantages
- Experience working in a high-growth startup or fast-paced environment.
- Experience in the travel, hospitality, or e-commerce industry.
- Experience working with ERP, accounting, payment, or finance systems.
- Experience building, improving, or automating financial processes.
- Experience using AI tools to improve workflows or automate repetitive tasks.
- Experience working with international suppliers, multiple currencies, or cross-border payments.
