🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

• You’re a qualified chartered accountant (ACA or CA) and ideally have audit experience combined with financial reporting and control experience outside of practice.

• You have a great eye for detail

• Highly comfortable with leveraging data to automate reporting and drive efficiency (SQL skills would be a bonus)

• You thrive in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment

• Nice to have (one or more)
