Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept it 😁

Numbers are exactitude, not an approximation. You know this and live by it. You’re a bean counter, but you understand that numbers inform strategy. Therefore, you love to explain the application of numbers to real-world scenarios. That’s your specialty. You can explain financial statements to a 5-year-old!

In this role, you will ensure that Management Accounts are delivered on time every month. You will keep accurate reconciliation schedules and ensure seamless payments.

Cashflow management is a delightful specialty of yours, and you thrive on capital allocation, budgeting and cost control.

You also have a knack for speed. You’re rarely trapped in analysis paralysis, and your pride is in timely delivery without errors.
