- Assist with light banking duties, including preparing deposits, collecting company cheques, and handling occasional in-branch transactions.
- Maintain accurate records of receipts and general office expenses.
- Support the planning and execution of internal and external events, including team functions, client meetings, and company gatherings.
- Coordinate catering, room setup, logistics, and vendor communications for meetings and events.
