Job description

Myshon strives to provide a professional accounting service to its clients as part of the wider offering. To strengthen our ability to deliver and exceed our client’s expectations we are creating a new role in finance.

  • Take on other tasks yet to be agreed/determined such as cash flow forecasting for the business / its clients
  • Project based activities (see above).

  • Employee Referral Scheme
  • Life insurance 4 x annual salary
