• Draft clear and structured emails and maintain proper communication logs.
• Keep managers informed on work progress and ensure transparency in timelines.
• Participate in review discussions or client meetings when required.

Learning & Professional Development

• Participate in Bluebox’s structured training programs on Singapore laws, accounting standards, and internal operating procedures.
