- Coordinate vendor setup, purchase orders, contract timelines, service renewals, and subscription logs
- Support invoice processing for recurring local expenses such as office services, mobile phone contracts, utilities, rent, cleaning, subscriptions, and smaller suppliers
- Review invoices for completeness, coding, documentation, and timely submission
- Identify invoice discrepancies, support price difference clarification, and coordinate resolution with internal stakeholders
- Prepare and process minor recurring non-commercial customer invoices
- Maintain cost tracking logs and support timely payment follow-up
- Assist with travel arrangements, itineraries, expense documentation templates, and small team event logistics
- Support data cleansing, formatting, document version control, and consolidation of inputs from cross-functional teams
