* Strong understanding of IFRS and core accounting principles

* Hands-on experience with month-end close, journal entries, accruals and reconciliations

* Experience working across multiple entities or complex group structures is highly desirable

* Exposure to fixed assets, capitalization, amortization, inventory or intercompany accounting would be advantageous

* Experience in a high-growth, evolving or partially automated finance environment is preferred

* Strong Excel skills and good ERP exposure, ideally SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or similar

* Strong attention to detail, ownership mindset and ability to work with limited structure

* Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing with internal stakeholders and auditors

* Professional qualification such as ACCA, CPA or CIMA is a MUST!

What's on Offer

* Opportunity to join a fast-scaling technology-focused organisation

* Broad ownership across GL, reporting, controls, tax, audit and process improvement
