About YouYou're an experienced financial accountant who knows the fundamentals inside out but is also excited about how AI and automation can change the way finance operates.
You'll bring strong technical accounting experience across financial reporting, treasury, compliance and month-end, along with the judgement to know when technology can improve a process and when human oversight needs to stay firmly in the loop.
You're already genuinely using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in your day-to-day work and are interested in going beyond basic prompting to build smarter, more efficient ways of working.
Most importantly, you're comfortable doing the work yourself.
You understand that to effectively automate, review and improve a finance process, you first need to understand exactly how it should work.
