• Leading the month-end close process, including P&L, balance sheet and consolidations

• Overseeing financial controls, AP/AR, supplier payments and 3-way matching

The PersonWe’re keen to speak with qualified accountants (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) who are confident working independently and comfortable within a small but globally dispersed team. This is not a role with layers of structure—it’s about rolling up your sleeves, solving problems, and building robust processes that will support growth.

Interview ProcessThe process will involve 2–3 stages, including a final conversation with the CEO.
