About you
- You’re Xero Certified, and have worked in at least 5 different Xero files. Experience with at least a few Xero setups and/or conversions would be very helpful.

- You have good attention to detail, so you will write in your application the number of dot-points in this ‘about you’ list.

- You enjoy problem-solving.
- You’re self-motivated and ideally have previous experience working remotely and/or with little direct supervision.
- You have a good internet connection.
- You know how to keep your computer and work secure and private.
