Most importantly, you’re someone who is comfortable operating in an environment where not everything is perfectly structured. You’re pragmatic, adaptable and willing to make decisions, find solutions and bring others along with you.

Ideally, You’ll Bring

• CA or CPA qualification with at least five years' post-qualification experience.
• Strong technical financial accounting, reporting and audit experience, including IFRS.

• Flexible start and finish times, with an office-based working environment.
• Free on-site parking, regular team lunches and an active social culture.
