SENIOR FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

Company: futuredoctor Group

About us:

futuredoctor Group is an international education and services group focused primarily on medical students and future healthcare professionals.

We are looking for a hands-on, analytical, and commercially minded finance professional who goes beyond simply reconciling numbers.
