  • Experienced in interpreting and applying accounting standards, such as either UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) or International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
  • Supervisory experience is a plus, though not essential.
  • Solid understanding of MS Office; SAP knowledge is a plus.
  • Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication abilities.
  • Ability to investigate variances and provide meaningful commentary to senior management.
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills, with a systematic work approach.
