What you'll get in return

You will work closely with an experienced CFO and within an organisation that has a very flat structure. The c-suite are all very approachable people and actively involve the team in projects and strategic initiatives. While they want this person to be hands-on and really get an understanding of the daily workings of the business, they are also keen for someone to play a part in the decision-making process.
