Financial Controller, Jiminny

• Experience of working in both practice (as client-facing - ideally in a large accounting firm) and industry. Industry experience should include the areas listed in the responsibilities section above
• Responsive, self-motivated, organised and efficient. We need someone who will push ahead to get things done and who genuinely cares about doing a good job and supporting their team-mates and the company
• Hands-on approach with a strong operational focus and attention to detail
• Strong communicator - Finance is a remote team, so you will need to be able to leverage your communication skills to build relationships, ensure efficiency and work cohesively across the business
• Strong with Excel and/or Google Sheets
