This is a broad and influential role offering genuine autonomy, interesting technical accounting challenges and the prospect to make a meaningful contribution to the business.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will take responsibility for the Group's financial reporting, treasury, budgeting and financial controls, while leading a small finance team.

- Lead the annual budgeting process, financial forecasting and cash flow modelling.

- Manage Group treasury activities, banking relationships, cash balances and foreign currency transactions.

- Coordinate external audits and maintain strong financial controls and reporting processes.

- Lead, mentor and develop a small finance and administration team.





- Partner closely with the CFO on financial planning, risk management, process improvements and other strategic initiatives.

Ideally, you will offer:

- CA/CPA qualification

- Strong technical accounting skills, ideally gained within a complex corporate environment.

- Demonstrated success managing financial and management reporting, statutory accounting and treasury.

- Proven experience preparing financial statements, budgets and cash flow forecasts.

- Excellent Excel skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
