The Person We Want

We are looking for someone who thinks beyond accounting.

Someone who questions discrepancies, follows up on outstanding matters, understands business numbers, identifies problems early and takes responsibility for getting things done.

We value ownership, discipline, commercial understanding, responsiveness and the ability to build a well-controlled business.

This position offers significant exposure to management and the opportunity to grow into a broader finance leadership role as the companies expand.
