About the role

Handle day-to-day transaction entry and basic reconciliation support across MEDLIFE's multi-country accounting operation. This is a hands-on, execution-level role: the person follows established processes precisely, keeps QuickBooks data clean and current, and flags anything unclear to the Staff Accountant rather than deciding how to resolve it.

This role reports directly to MEDLIFE's Staff Accountant, who reviews your work and oversees accounting across all country sites. This role is the reliable foundation that keeps daily records accurate so the Staff Accountant and CFO can close the books, report to leadership, and support MEDLIFE's mission.
