- Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, statutory returns, and audit support.
Your Profile:
- Preferably, you will be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), but we are open to part-qualified/studiers and candidates who are qualified by experience, as long as you have the willingness to become qualified.
- Strong proven experience in managing operational budgets, interpreting complex financial data and delivering strategic financial support.
- Excellent leadership skills, with the ability to lead and motivate teams.
