As an Accounts and Audit Manager, you will lead by example, driving innovation, cultivating strong internal and client relationships, and delivering outstanding results through a collaborative and forward-thinking approach.

• Seamlessly onboard new clients and coordinate communication across teams
• Develop and improve internal systems and processes to enhance workflow efficiency
• Act as the main point of contact for all aspects of audit, accounts, and tax
