The opportunity

 

Our Government & Public Sector-Financial Accounting Advisory Services (GPS-FAAS) team is growing exponentially, and as a Manager you'll play a key role in that growth.

It's all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there really are no off-the-shelf recommendations.

Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.
