Your responsibility will be to oversee aspects of Finance and to report into the owners. The position will involve operating alongside other areas of the business to identify how to drive continuous improvement throughout business processes.

Although you will be tasked to oversee Finance, we are looking for someone who considers themselves as a self-starter with a positive attitude for their work.

Client Details
