• Transactions:assist with pre- and post-acquisition processes, including tax structuring, funds-flow coordination, and aligning acquired financials for consolidation.

• Projects:participate in system implementation and other ad hoc finance initiatives.

• Growth scope:depending on experience, the role may extend to budgeting and forecasting, and participation in Audit and Risk Committee reporting over time.
  

What You Will Bring

• Qualifications:Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or equivalent. Minimum 3–5 years of relevant accounting experience, or Big Four candidates at the associate or senior level looking to join the commercial sector are welcomed to apply.
