We are a rapidly growing family of 19 people with a welcoming company culture that embraces people and encourages work/life balance.

As a successful candidate for this role, you have a positive attitude and happy disposition. You enjoy serving and helping other people in a close-knit team environment and you build relationships easily. You don’t need to be micro-managed, in-fact you’re autonomous, proactive and self-driven. You enjoy the challenge of making something better and you work best when you’re trusted to jump in and ‘figure it out’.
This role is open to someone who has some financial experience or is looking to grow their skills in this area. Obviously, being good with numbers is a must. Previous finance experience including knowledge of business finance and associated legislation is an advantage as is your desire to study and learn more in this area.
