• Broad, hands‑on Financial Accountant role
• Strong focus on financial reporting, compliance and controls
• Opportunity to improve finance processes and strengthen governance

We’re looking for a CA/CPA‑qualified Financial Accountant with strong technical accounting skills and attention to detail.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll be responsible for the integrity and accuracy of financial reporting, including month‑end and year‑end close, balance sheet reconciliations, statutory compliance, audit support and financial controls.

You’ll also contribute to process and control improvements and provide support across key finance functions when required.

If you’re a technically strong accountant who enjoys financial reporting, compliance, controls and continuous improvement, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

• Preparing journals, balance sheet reconciliations, month‑end and year‑end close, monthly financial reports, and maintaining the integrity of the general ledger
• Supporting statutory reporting, tax compliance and external audit requirements
• Maintaining and strengthening financial controls, accounting processes and compliance
• Identifying and resolving accounting, reconciliation and control issues
• Driving continuous improvement across financial reporting and finance processes
• Providing back‑up across key finance functions, including payroll, billing, accounts payable and receivables, as required

This is an ideal opportunity for a CA/CPA‑qualified Financial Accountant who is technically strong, hands‑on and detail‑focused, with a strong understanding of financial reporting, compliance and controls.

About You

You’re an experienced Financial Accountant with strong technical accounting skills and a focus on accuracy, compliance and financial control. You’re hands‑on, detail‑oriented and comfortable taking ownership of key financial accounting activities.
