This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys accountability, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to make a genuine impact. Alongside core accounting responsibilities, you'll have the chance to drive process improvements, support the development of junior team members, and help shape how technology and AI are utilised within finance.

• Previous experience supervising, mentoring or leading junior team members
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work autonomously
