3–6 years’ experience in a group or multi-entity environment
Strong balance sheet and reporting experience (non-negotiable)
Proven audit and tax exposure

Hands-on, detail-driven, and deadline-focused
Ability to operate in a high-pressure, delivery-driven environment

Non-Negotiables

You are comfortable being hands-on in journals, recons, and reporting
You have worked in a structured, deadline-driven environment
