• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a high-volume, fast-paced business, managing competing priorities while delivering accurate work within tight deadlines.
• CA/CPA qualified accountants.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify risks, investigate variances and provide practical, commercially focused recommendations.
