What and who are we looking for?

The successful applicant is likely to be a professional services (CPA firm) trained auditor (possibly with industry experience). You will likely hold a qualification such as a CPA, CA, CIA, but this is not essential. A second language will be useful, but the working language across the Group is English. The team is made up of people from all different backgrounds, so we are open to anyone with the right to work (RTW) in the USA (US, Canadian, Mexican passport/GreenCard holders), but we can’t sponsor those who do not have the RTW.
