• Experience overseeing or guiding junior team members in a practice environment.

• Strong time management and organisational skills, with confidence reviewing work and working to deadlines and budgets.

• While formal qualifications (e.g. ATT, CTA, or CA) are valued, candidates with equivalent relevant experience will be equally considered.
