The Opportunity

• Mentoring and developing a small but high-performing team
• Identifying opportunities to streamline systems and automate workflows

• CA / CPA qualified
• Possibly you trained in Audit or Business Services, and have then gained relevant experience as a Financial Controller in growing business (sub $100M is perfect)
• Experience in international reporting ANZ/UK/EU is great to have
• Experience in SaaS, software or within a PE-backed environment very nice to have, though we are open to candidates from other industries provided you’ve worked in a high-growth environment
