More than anything, we are looking for a capable, trustworthy and proactive finance professional who wants to understand the business, take responsibility for the numbers and become a valued long-term member of our team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who enjoys being close to the operations of a business rather than working in a purely corporate finance environment.
Competitive salary will be offered and negotiated based on experience and qualifications.
If you are an experienced accounting professional looking for a senior, hands-on role where you can make a genuine contribution to the business, we would love to hear from you.
