You will work closely with a team comprising both experienced professionals and junior staff, in an environment that values learning, accountability, and continuous improvement. While guidance is provided, interns are expected to be proactive learners rather than passive observers.

- Process improvement: Contribute to documenting existing workflows and suggest practical improvements, including the use of digital or AI-assisted tools where appropriate.
- Cross-functional exposure: Based on interest and performance, there may be opportunities to observe or assist with areas such as treasury, budgeting, audit preparation, or finance-related support for our business units (e.g. transport consultancy, events).
Requirements
- Pursuing a diploma/degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business
- Basic understanding of accounting principles
- Proficient in Excel and MS Office
- Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn
- Prior internship experience is a plus, but not required
What You’ll Gain
