Management Accountant
Cardiff
Up to £40,000 plus Benefits
Môrwell Talent Solutions are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and culturally significant third‑sector organisation based in the heart of Cardiff, as they look to appoint an experienced and technically strong Management Accountant to join their finance team on a permanent basis.
