We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Corporate Finance Associate to join our Corporate Services team. This is a role within a fast-growing startup environment backed by a solid foundation and ambitious long-term plans. You will work across both client accounts and internal group companies, gaining exposure to a wide variety of financial, operational, and corporate tasks.

Because we operate with the pace, energy, and agility of a startup, this role requires someone with a positive, hands-on, can-do attitude—someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, adapting quickly, and contributing proactively to the growth of the business.

The ideal candidate has a finance or accounting degree or is partly ACCA qualified, though we also welcome candidates with relevant experience who are committed to pursuing their professional qualifications. This role also includes opportunities to represent the brand externally, engage on social platforms, and identify new business opportunities when they arise.
