ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our client is a well-funded, asset-heavy group in a period of significant expansion.

Reporting to senior finance leadership, you'll run the Group's month-end and year-end close, manage the consolidation, and ensure capital spend is accounted for accurately and consistently. You'll lead a team of accountants, act as the escalation point for financial accounting issues, and streamline and scale processes.
