- Documenting business processes and accounting policies to maintain internal controls.
- Leading the first-time audit process including pre-year end preparation and being the key contact for the audit firm.
- Co-ordinating year-end tax computations and ad-hoc issues with advisors and ensuring the group is compliant with all regulations.
- Ensure effective training is in place for best-practice financial control throughout the group.

- A Chartered Accountant qualification (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong technical skills (IFRS) and a suitable level of PQE from a similar leadership role.
- International group-based knowledge with consolidation experience.

- The ability to be a strong communicator and trusted business partner able to influence a global Board of Directors.
- An advanced understanding of IT/data platforms able to drive efficiencies in financial control through the introduction of modern systems and processes.
- The ability to measure the success of the function, recommend and steer governance to ensure the KWA Analytics brand maintains its high integrity.
- A “sleeves rolled up” attitude and a problem-solving nature is essential.
- Knowledge of software consulting / professional services sector would be advantageous.
- Ambition, and is motivated by the opportunity for future professional growth and the opportunities that arise in a scaling, global environment.
