Citadel Source is proud to be partnering on a sole-agency basis with an international professional services partnership in their recruitment of a Finance Manager on a permanent contract.
About our client
Our client is an established international professional services partnership with operations across multiple regions. They are recognised for delivering complex, high-value projects to a diverse client base. Structured as a partnership, the organisation brings together a network of experienced professionals who collaborate across multiple engagements. The business operates in a fast-paced, quality-driven environment and is supported by a lean central team, with a modern and largely remote operating model.
