- Hands-on corporate accountant role with CFO exposure.
- Involvement in financial accounting, tax compliance, and project initiatives.
- Opportunity for professional growth and mentorship from senior leadership.
Role Overview

You’ll work closely with a CFO who brings strong technical capability and a mentoring mindset, providing guidance while trusting you with autonomy.
