Finance & Administration Intern (Extracurricular Internship)

About Chora

At Chora, we are building a different kind of company.

Rather than relying on individuals, we design processes, systems and teams that can scale over time. We believe in ownership, continuous improvement and technology as enablers of better work.

We are looking for a motivated Finance & Administration Intern who wants to learn how a modern Finance & Administration function is built from the ground up, working directly alongside our Head of Finance & Administration.

This is a 6-month extracurricular internship, with the possibility of extending it for an additional 6 months and a clear objective of long-term employment.

• Updating and maintaining internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Working with digital tools such as Notion, Google Workspace, Harvest and QuickBooks

What you'll learn

During the internship, you will gain practical experience in:
