About Constrive Group
We are a group of ventures connected by shared operations, shared expertise, and the conviction that companies grow faster together than alone. Under our group structure sit diversified investments and the provision of goods and services across a range of industries. We hold a strong position in our niche, and we are looking for dynamic, committed young professionals to strengthen our team and help us build a future-proof landscape.
About the role
Finance Operations keeps the money moving accurately and on time — invoicing, payments, reconciliations, and the reporting that the rest of the business relies on. As an intern on the team, you'll take real ownership of recurring processes, support the monthly closure, and help us make our workflows faster and less manual. You'll finish the internship knowing how a finance function actually runs day to day, not just in theory.

- Strong Excel skills: comfortable with lookups, pivot tables, and structuring data cleanly
- Accurate and detail-oriented, with the discipline to reconcile to the cent
- Able to work independently on recurring tasks and flag issues early rather than sit on them
