Rutherford Cross is pleased to be partnered with a global engineering business to appoint a Management Accountant. Whilst our client is based in Central Glasgow, there is the opportunity to travel internationally and across the UK with this role. On offer is a salary of up to £45k+ further benefits.

• Liaising with overseas finance teams, providing training, guidance and support and working effectively with remote and overseas operations teams
