This position is responsible for end-to-end finance across the operation, with a strong focus on both reporting and day-to-day business support.

• Improve processes and work across departments to increase efficiency and strengthen business partnering.

Background and skills

The ideal candidate is CA or CPA qualified and has at least five years of accounting or finance experience.
