Are you a practice-trained accountant looking for more than year-end accounts and compliance work? \n This is a rare opportunity to join an innovative, CFO-led accounting and advisory firm where you'll work directly with experienced CFOs, gain exposure to commercial projects typically reserved for more senior finance professionals, and help ambitious business owners make better decisions.
